It looks there are no dealers or others having any answer on this one?

This question is asked since 2011 on the forum :)

I hope that the OP took their decision since.

@olvisab

OK nice that it is asked since 2011 on this forum, but we are now almost in 2015!
The point is that I recently heart from someone that it wil come in early 2015, that was the reason I ask....

I think there are here on this forum also dealers active that can give some light :-))

If any dealer would know, he surely would not tell us!

We'll just have to wait - to be surpriced Smile

31/12 ends production of Beolab 5. At the beginning of 2015 will present the new 5 wi-fi.

I don't think they will be producing anything on that day   🎉   Big SmileCrying

But - that would probably mean launch at the CES 2015.

Hi,

please, please... no update, I just got my BeoLab5s this week (after a three year decicion period) and I love them.

An update would somehow disturb my dream.

So please B&O keep selling the good old BeoLab5s for some more years ;-)

Regards

What's the benefit of having wireless High-End speakers? From my point of view - nothing!

You should always try to use the Beolab 5 via SPDIF instead of Powerlink - and please with uncompressed audio files! There was another thread last week in the forum regarding build in DAC of the Beolab 5.

Hi

If you bought it new, well i understand that this news can disturb you. Otherwise, new doesn't mean always better.

I hope they will reach a higher level of quality but when I look and hear the bl5, I wish them good luck :)

Uncompressed is better, I agree but unless you are deaf, even with compressed file, you will hear the difference with spdif input and bl5 Dac.

The wireless (WiSA) standart that B&O uses transfers audio in 24/48 quality.

That should be enough for most purposes.

Even if you would connect the speaker to a source via spdif, the internal handling of the audio would still be at the 24/48 level.

"- in: Sample rate 32k, 44.1k, 48k, 96k / PCM16-24 bit

- out: Sample rate 48k / PCM 24 bit"

As from the specs of the BL20.

I guess that will be exactly the same in the 'new BL5' as with the other new wireless speakers.

To be certain, we will have to wait for how they make the 'new BL5'

P.S. I agree that one should use uncompressed files - at least for 'serious listening' - but that is another discussion.

I also don't think "when" they come out with a new Beolab 5 they only bring in the WiFi connection but proberly they wil make also other changes...... for me the Beolab 5 is the best loudspeaker experience they make til today.
