I actually think I know what it is, I played around with a prototype 2 years ago, when they were doing some testing with it. Thought it never came to marked :)

I would love to see a bigger brother of the A9! However, I fear that the price is going to be astronomical >5000€!

Probably something that the second tonmeister at B&O - Neo Kaplanis - is responsible of.......soundwise ;-)

I expect that too.

Neo is a clever guy - very talented.

To get an impression of his work, read/watch this:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2016/10/25/this-lab-can-recreate-the-sounds-of-any-space/?utm_term=.575a5ccb9728

By the way - nowadays there these is a similar sound lab in the new Innovation Lab (the old Fab 4) in Struer.

I think its actually A9's little brother judging by the size of the curvature, looks like a smaller circumference than the A9, and the A9 is already pretty big! It looks deeper/thicker though.......

Start thinking an “Arnie A9” .....

Very B&O styling. Very Geoff Martin sounding.

Marmite. You’ll love it or hate it - but you won’t be able to say it doesn’t sound good.  Fair play to B&O - I think it’ll make some ripples at IFA 💪🏻

£3250 euros and half a meter diameter.

Interesting idea having put the article into google translate. Clearly the world is moving away from stereo pairs of speakers and this comes in above the A9 and the BS2 price-wise. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh and hearing it. I think the article said Bluetooth is the only connection but that it is multi room capable.

Article also said its possible to pair two speakers. That is an expensive pair of speakers...

I assume it must be possible to place it on the floor as well.

Assume it has Airplay 2 as well.

Bluetooth-only and multiroom-capable are mutually exclusive concepts. A sound system of this class is more than likely to include the full complement of streaming services, just like the other BeoSounds.

I agree with you Tuomas. I was just stating what the article said according to google translate.

I am pretty sure that Geoff Martin did not ‘sound it’ - Neo Kaplanis is responsible - blame him or applaude him ;-))

How is the backside?

That’s how I read it. Sound from both sides and it can hang on the wall like a station clock.

That was at least the original idea,

Also you physical roll it to turn it up and down, let see if that is the case in the final product.

I hope they keep the A9 for people that have standard rooms where it’s impossible to hang a 50cm station click on the wall !!

I get the impression from the article that you run your hand over it. As with the A9.
