With a soundbar you are always going to have “limited Atmos effects”. Even the theatre sounds like a soundbar with no additional speakers attached. There is no fooling with faux speakers behind to the side or above you. The thing that really surprised me most about the theatre was the fact that I don’t need a sub woofer anymore.

I feel like the next stage MIGHT allow wireless speaker connections. No idea when it might come out though.

Ha ok.  Well the stage is really nice. In the short term there might be new colours. Technically the only major downside is that you can’t add speakers down the road. But if your budget is limited it doesn’t sound like you’d be adding speakers to it anyway.

Ive had Sony’s all my life and I just got the LG g2.  Even my 5 year old Sony was better than this LG with older content. I would take a Sony over LG any day.

Wireless issues are nothing new with B&O.  If you are able to I would for sure run a cat-7 cable to the speakers as it works 100% of the time.

It’s just a shame it looks so damn awful like a cheap wifi router. Especially with those buttons on the top.

My BR1 remote with brand new batteries is lasting about 2-3 weeks. Really really pathetic.

Where is that documented? I don’t think its common knowledge until its official from the horses mouth (or at least the website).

I wonder whats going on with the BS1 I thought think it its the update at the same time as the BS2.

Same thing happened to me. I think the new 2.5.3. is prob the final build and not the beta.

Hey Steve,  If one power link port is in use to send to the essence is the Speaker Sense Adapter still needed? seems to work fine with the remote without it in my limited testing.

The BLI and the hue need DIFFERENT IP address’s.  Every device on the network does.

On most routers you can keep all your devices on DHCP but tell the router to assign them the same static IP address to them every time

For example you tell your router to give the BLI an address of 192.168.2.20 and the Hue 192.168.2.21

I was going to say the same about the software update… the last one came out almost 3 MONTHS ago which is far too long for a new product like this with this many bugs and weird UI elements. I really expected more updates more often.

Where in the world do you get the idea it needs charging every week? You’re thinking of the Halo which because of bad software and a tiny battery lasts only days.

The physical BR1 is HUGE, they could fit a giant battery in there if they wanted to.

My Apple TV remote is 1/10 the size of the BR1, I use it every day for hours on and off. I can also play games with it.  I charge the battery every 8 months tops.

A tiny screen like on the BR1 that only activates for short periods should last a very long time.

Does anyone have the artwork above in high res?

I’m glad there’s no charger, cables, connectors or other broccoli (unnecessary paraphernalia) with the remote.

Ya just 4 pieces and a tool to change a battery.  Must better than a USB C port that is in every house already.

Im planning on getting a MK3 with a new laser so fingers crossed.

What are those disks you have? are those CD-R with that pattern or did you print custom decals? They look awesome.
