hi what was the reasen off replacing the motherboard twice ?

grt 

The system stopped working. Apparently there was a weak component, as far as I understand, B&O applied warranty/policy and fixed the problem with better boards. 

I'm very happy with mine too.

When i saw it, i knew it was the music system i've looking for to replace my BS9000.

The minimalist design, the link between mechanical elements and software, the graphic user interface,... 😳

I purchased mine in 2009.

The motherboard has been quickly replaced, exchanged in warranty.

No problem since then.

Like Pf85, i love the sound, features like MOTS, updates like Spotify, the possibility to integrate a CD ripping device and to get a 2-ways remote (Beo6),...

I think it's the perfect system for someone who want to enter the digital world and keep the B&O magic touch with a splendid object.

Bravo B&O !

Recommendation ? YES ! 🤒

I am very happy with mine also. I hade one of the first in sweden and without any big problems since then. One thing is that the Beo6 is slow showing the CD covers but that isn´t so important.

The download of Spotify was a good move from B&O.

Last month I also updated the software in my BV10-46 and after that I think the sound is even better, but it could just be a dream...

I had mine for several years also, and I had the motherboard changed and also the harddrive (now I have 1 TB). Both under warranty.

We are really happy with our BS5, everything works perfect, we never had any breakdowns. We also use the BV7 connection to have our pictures shown.

The BS5 is AM in our setup and I have a set of BL3 connected.

All I could wish for is a Beoremote App to navigate thru N.MUSIC (without the MLGW) and also the option to have Spotify Connect.

Very pleased with mine and its on ml round the house and two tv's as well. wonder what the next up grade is or the replacement for the 5?

I'd love B&O to do some sort of video storage/server for dvd or bluray so you can have moves in any room but alass don't think that will very happen 🙁

You mean a system like Kaleidescape? Don’t you think it’s too late to enter that market? Tv’s these days are already so capable to act standalone in combination with a decent NAS, hence the reason why ML is slowly fading away. B&O doesn’t even have it’s own bluray-player. 

But to stay on topic, I liked Steph’s reply:

I think it's the perfect system for someone who want to enter the digital world and keep the B&O magic touch with a splendid object.

So true! The only upgrade B&O should do is reducing the size of the BeoMaster5, get rid of the Windows XP software and replace it with a faster OS. Mini-PC’s are already so small these days with way better specifications we had in 2009.

Like Bv7Mk3, i would have liked to see B&O in the past years develop a system like Kaleidescape.

True B&O philisophy : a really simple video system for people who doesn't like spend hours in front of a computer to rip DVD and Blu-Rays, and an easy access to the medias.

But i think it's because of majors rights for movies, copyrights,... And now, with streaming, it's too late.

For the BeoSound 5, i'm agree with DoubleU, a small BeoMaster5 with one fast flash memory for the system (linux, like the Encore ?) and a big classic hard drive for the storage of music would be great !

Someone mentioned the request for support of 24/192 FLAC.

But in general, I think the product has grown within B&O (it is the only music system right now anyway), and with the price reduction some time ago, I think it is a good product that deliver high end quality, which I think high end speakers require. And it has shown, that B&O can keep a product updated using SW only. Nice and very good customer service!

I hope for a little more development, before a new music system comes.

Does anyone know how the product sells?
