This is a question to the many B&O dealers on this board.
I'm seeing a few photos from customers who've received their BeoSound 1 in the brass colour. Is it now available and, more important, does any dealer have one in stock before the price rise this weekend?
Talking of stock levels, shame B&O couldn't add this functionality to the website as there's no easy way of finding out, unless you go around calling dealers!
Duels:Moxxey. Do you mean bs1 rather than bs2? I only ask because you said in an earlier thread you were interested in a bs2 and I wondered if this was a typo.
Ah, sorry for the confusion. The brass BS1 is/was for a photo shoot for our forthcoming website.
Had a listen to the BS2 compared to the BS1 at lunch and there's quite a big difference. But the BS1 has it's pros - it's smaller and more portable, as an example.
I believe in the UK that all dealers were sampled with one brass BeoSound 1, and I guess with the demand for all BeoSound 1 being so high, they will all be sold by now.
Just checked on the retail system and an order placed for brass edition today will arrive on 10th March.
I have 5 natural aluminium BeoSound 1 available for immediate delivery though 🙂

I can get the brass one fairly easily! One local store has a couple.
Excellent - they've done well to get two.
Picked up the BS1 in brass this morning (thanks B&O Bath).
Fairly impressed. Read quite a few reviews about the audio quality, but consider it's portable and the size of the unit (it's not much bigger than my old BS3), it performs a little better than I had expected. Pleased as I'm going to use it in a few 'cool' product shots this coming week.
Glad I picked it up before the price increase this coming weekend. £995 is the top end of what I'd pay for a device this size and any more expensive and it's moving in to A9 territory.
Duels:Excellent purchase. Although I thought you were banned from Bath?
Blocked on their social media. For that reason, I didn't go in to the store - ventured in there for the first time in 15 months yesterday. Had a good chat with their technical director.

BeoHut: But, enjoy also the sound. I really love mine. It wakes me up with a smile on my face every morning (timer play).

If you take it for what it is (effectively a BS3-size speaker) it's excellent. The only caution I'd have, with the price increase, is that at £1100 you will expect more, for that money, especially if the A6 is going to get a price reduction!
