Thanks!  If it is a thread hijack then it is a good one because I am trying to learn a lot of information fast.  I really appreciate all of this.  I have no easy access to B&O stores these days so this is all good for me and I am happy to read and learn.

I am particularly glad to hear that so many A9 owners are rating it so favorably.

Oops! Double post!  LOL

Beoplay A9 is an iconic piece of design, in my view a soundsculpture. :)

Plus, you can customize the front so it can be blending in or standing out in your room as much as you like.

Sound is really great, and I even use it as a "TV speaker" streaming audio from AppleTV when I watch movies. I use Essence remote to control it and it works and looks great. Strongly recommending this product, make sure though you find enough space for it as it is not really small so it won't fit just anywhere.

i guess it's not too far off-topic to considerate about the Beosound 35, lol

Analog planet,

Thanks for your opinion and information it is greatly appreciated.  

Egges,  

I have seen pictures of the beosound 35 and always just sort of assumed it was meant as a front channel speaker.  They are of similar price so I think I should consider it too.  Thank you for pointing this out.  I will read up on it and hopefully hear one in person when I visit the B&O store.  Do you have one of these?

And why not as well consider the new Beosound2?  It has impressive room filling sound and is aluminum made and quite less expensive ...

I plan to listen to those too however I am looking for a single unit type powered system.  I could see possibly going with the A6 too....maybe several of those scattered about the house instead of just one device.

Once making a decision shold I consider some of the ebay based vendors who sell  new B&O?  I don't think I would buy a used speaker set up.

Thanks!

I have an A6 an A9 and the A6 doesn't get close. A few people said it was the A9's little brother, but to my ears, the A9 is a different beast. A6 is a lot cheaper, granted, but it's also cheaper for a reason!

i do agree with the BS2 comment above - was impressed by the sound and it's very movable!
