Nice video! I like the ladies erotic voice, quite a turn on ;)

I hope it has the old B&O magic. Best of luck to B&O with it!

The images on the B&O website promoting it are absolutely spot on. Very nicely done. A Danish BO Concept floor lamp is in the content to. Nice direction!

The screen looks very much like they took an android tablet and built a package around that. Do I spot a selfie camera lense on the thing? When the lady lowers her thumb?

Haha I saw a Citroen with wood stuck on it the other day called a Cactus! I think marketing has gone bonkers there. Hey Chris, at least the Audi has a BANG&OLUFSEN sound system! Really starting to like my A3 Saloon - took a while but it does everything nice and its £20 a year to tax, ecological and does 55+ mpg from a petrol car!

So you can flip the board, there's a "wife side" (simple control, wood) and a "husband side" in aluminium, glass and with full control!

And at the closing of the movie it says Deezer, but no Spotify.

So still no Spotify Connect I think.

Will there be a Deezer Connect anytime soon?

The reason for the lack of Spotify Connect is that unlike with Spotify, who have a clear interest in audio playback/distribution solutions, with Deezer there is no commercial conflict, so the very fact there is no "Deezer Connect" is a huge benefit. Instead, they will let B&O use their service as a source to a multi-room, multi-source solution in the digital domain (BeoSound 5 is analogue), where Spotify expressly will not.

Of course, the main current benefit of Spotify Connect is direct streaming from the internet which the Moment has to do with internal sources such as Deezer, so that benefit is matched.

The multi-room, multi-source solution with the Moment and other connected audio/video devices will finally be the digital multi-room solution which most of us would expect from B&O. Note that the launch software for Moment will not deliver all this, but that the hardware is ready.

Exactly, no surprise, same design.

The bs5 looks like it was designed by the NASA.

This thing looks like it was designed ASAP.

Great things (wood, two sides, new software with probably multiroom) but ordinary design, fragility of both side.

From the video the base looks particularly heavy. Couldn't the HD be a hidden box and then have a lighter looking changer base?

But I think the panel will look good in real life.

There seem to be some clever stuff, such as touch sensitive wood, touch sensitive aluminium, maybe inductive charging.

OK, this analogue vs digital issue I did not know.

My main issue is that the inbuilt Deezer and Spotify apps of the Avant are so cumbersome that I really would like to have Connect built in so I can use the IPad to control Spotify or Deezer while the Avant does the streaming from the Internet.

Of course if the Moment solves this problem then that is good.

But looking at the weak apps in the Avant I do not have a high trust in the solution provided.

It does look like that.

Well it sure is pretty. Guess I should cancel my Spotify subscription. 

If it fixes the problem of digital music having a delay over my link speakers, then it will be worth it.... well it won't be worth it... but it sure is pretty. 

 

It's so... 80s porn.

Does the image on the display invert when rotated to suit us left-handers??

A while ago I posted that:

"What they should really do, is develop a tablet type remote based on Android (I am not an android fan, but it is open source) and customise it so that the only app that's on it is the Beomusic app. Add a few external physical buttons for volume control and play/pause/skip. Make it that the tablet wakes up when moved or touched (like the Beo5) and immediately displays the app without having to swipe/unlock, et voila!"

Looks like I wasn't too far!

+1 to you.

I have a dream... playing my 3TB of music files, playing 24 bit files....

It sure is a beautiful looking combo : Beolab 18, 19 and Moment...
