Now we have several options for a speaker in a secondary (or third....) room.

The A9, the A6, an Essence with xx speakers, (the converter with xx speakers), the BS35, the BS1 and the BS2..... and the B&OPlay BT speakers too.

It has become hard to choose which one, we want/need - poor us ;-(

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Thanks for the thorough review!

If I took this outside or to a cottage (which I do with the Beolit 12) you know one of my clumsy friends would put their finger right through the tweeter the first time they picked it up.

One of my long-time beefs with B&O is the scarcity of line inputs, I see they are true to form here. No worse than the old link speaker products although I understand you could 'hot wire' those to have a line or powerlink-in. The line in really saves the Beolit 12 - when I know the flaky airplay won't work I plug in a $20 bluetooth receiver.

Whenever I see these indecipherable gesture controlled interfaces I'm reminded of the radio in Hitchhikers Guide

"The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive--you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program"

My apologies if this is already posted here and I missed it, but here is a video showing them in different colors.

They look stunning in those unusual pastel like colors.

Fully agree. They are still so nice that this concern will not prevent me from buying one :-)

As mentioned in another thread, we still need NL speakers for bathroom/kitchen and outdoor/garden. Maybe under the PLAY brand?

Many thanks for this very comprehensive review Lee.

I am happy to see the design of these speakers, which is very much to my liking and what strikes me at first glance as 'pure B&O' in terms of aesthetics. I don't know whether to feel disappointed regarding your review of the sound as we know all opinions differ until heard in the flesh, so I will reserve judgement until that time and hope for the best!

This is great competition against Sonos particularly and for me it will be B&O all the way if the sound holds up.

Well done B&O. I hope this will be a killer product in the lineup, it's deserved. As Lee mentioned too, it's great to see that B&O magical touch with the design and implementation of the LED at the top.
