Cool if it's actually a concentrically drilled marble cylinder, not so cool if it's resin "solid surfacing" [Edit: wallpaper on wood]. Price differential is US$500 -- will that be just marketing money or actually spent on materials? (The product sheet doesn't list it yet under "variants" to know for sure.) If so, that is going to be *the* new "it" bathroom speaker -- 'nuff o' that Beosound 35 -on-a-wall 20th-century-style nonsense! (Wait, what?!? You mean to say you don't have Sherle Wagner matte-gold faucets on your Calacatta marble vanity? Rube... :-)
I am most certain that it’s actual marble. Hinting the $500 increase. Love the marble and light fabric. Not so sure about the gold though.
I wonder what will be the colour palette for the 97th Anniversary Collection?
Austin: I am most certain that it’s actual marble. Hinting the $500 increase. Love the marble and light fabric. Not so sure about the gold though.
Marble would generate a much bigger margin than only $500! ie. if that base was all marble, no way would it be $500 more.
I can't find anything on the site which indicates it's actually marble?

Interesting, thanks. Makes it more appealing!

It's extremely good looking!

I wonder how it stacks up compared to a BeoSound 2 which I love (I have 2!)? Anyone heard them side by side?

Mikipidia:Yes, balance wipes the floor with a bs2. But the looks are more polarising.
Yes, but in the same way an Edge wipes the floor with the BS2, but has such a weird heavy bass it makes it almost unenjoyable?
I own an Edge, too, but it's such a weird sound. It's like the primary focus was bass. BeoSound 2 is far better speaker. Good bass, but wider overall sound.
Also, how similar is the Balance to this Menu (also Danish) lamp: https://store.menudesignshop.com/collections/special-offers/products/jwda-marble-table-lamp-white-marble

Michael:Do you like it? Considering gold for my next remote. Tv will be silver but maybe gold remote could be cool?

Michael, can you take a shot or two of the silk remote? I was looking at one online, but it's hard to get a sense how it compares or feels like in your hand?
Mikipidia: Silk
Silk
Looks good! Much better than the shiny versions I own.
moxxey:Looks good! Much better than the shiny versions I own.
Now I can not decide what to get for my next living room TV :). I do like the glossy ones as well. The silk one is very nice and a subtle feeling of the sand used to make it matte. The glossy ones stick more to your hand.
I have all glossy color and the silk version of BR1 in my collection
But for every day I use the silk BR1 because the handfeeling is so soft as a babyskin
It is hard to make scratches on it.
The glossy are more sensitive but all colors have her own plus with the different furnishing
The best decision is to buy all color like me

You are crazy :D but I agree. The silk is nice. I already have one so I think I want to have two different ones anyway. I do have a scratch on my silk one but it doesn't matter. The non silk one has some too but mainly small dents. Its also ok. Its a think you use :). The black one should be cool in silk. Gold one in silk would also be cool.
oh yes I think that is a very good idea like the BeoCom 2 with the glossy and the matt versions.
Last christmas got a new dealer in Vancouver/Canada a spezial red christmas version from Struer but he will not sell it to me

Michael: I want a blue one. But the gold one maybe. Or just stick with my regular one. Hate choices. Luckily I can’t spend money on having multiple ones :) wish they sold the aluminum part separately. So easy to switch.

I had 3. And stupidly gave away the 90th Anniversary Edition with my BV11 sale!

trackbeo:They do. It's how you repair the dings & dents. Maybe not the special editions? But both the silk and polished shells were available from my dealer, for USD195. (A new remote is USD375.)

Oh! I might swap out my glossy for a silk with a new case. Good plan. Never thought of that.

Well - there you see... Marble is not that expensive...
(I'm referring to your earlier comment: (quote) "Marble would generate a much bigger margin than only $500! ie. if that base was all marble, no way would it be $500 more.")
Steffen: Well - there you see... Marble is not that expensive...
Well, slightly flippant reply as it depends on the source of the marble to be fair. And you can also use a porcelain 'marble' and no-one would be any the wiser.
It doesn't determine the source of the marble. There's a big difference in price between Italian and, say, Chinese marble. Doesn't say where it's sourced.
moxxey: Beozip: in the press release pdf .... B&O used first time carrara marble .... Interesting, thanks. Makes it more appealing!
Do you remember 2 weeks ago?
Carrara comes only from Italian ... or?
andy_js:No Beosound 1 :(

Not flippant in any way.
Well - you didn't talk about the source of the marble... You just stated that marble would "no way" be possible for $500.
- it is... Even Italian marble
