BeoSound 2 and BeSound Stage to go with a new 77 inch LG E Series TV.
B&O in my life 😊:
In a new house so just bought a LG c9 65" and will add a stage and remote to that for the secondary living room this month. The room is not that large so kept it simple and everything will go on the wall.
If an eclipse v2 launches and follows the harmony logic (using a standard LG panel upgradable) then ill go for that in 55" for the main living room to pair with my lab 20´s. Currently there is a Beovision 11-40 there, which can move to the bedroom, but 55" is as large as I can go in that room and the TV has to rotate out from the wall due to the shape of the room and sofa position.....I am quite restricted with what works there.
I am kind of ready to upgrade the 20´s but theres nothing in the current range for me at the moment so no rush. 50´s are just too big for my living room so hopefully there will be a lab 20s size replacement in the next year or so.
Regardless, very impressed with some of the newer products and looking forward to seeing more.

It does work, just not with BR1.
I'm using mine with E7 (2017 model) and very happy with it.
I am considering a Beoplay A9 (without assistant) and perhaps another Beoplay M5.
So what is holding me back?
[1] I am aware of the Airplay2 option, which is good, but I prefer the device streaming content directly from the source instead of having data going via a tablet, phone, laptop etc.

I know…B&O virus has grown on me !
Not planning on anything, nothing floats my boat. Perhaps if I find a good pair of S45.2s I might buy them, as this past month I picked up a BM2400, BG4002, and BC5000 that I'm restoring. Sadly the old gear excites me far more than anything current.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
I'm looking at purchasing a BeoSound 2 (Without assistant) to the kitchen and a BeoSound Stage + LG C9 panel to replace my old BeoVision 7 in the living room.
An M5 for sure. Possibly a Core. Not thrilled with the price tag for the feature set, but I want to add an outdoor zone so not much to be done. I guess we'll see what else they launch.
Mikipidia:Does the 27th of december 2019 count? :p
Sure What did you get on the 27th?

B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.

Already made my first purchase, BeoSound 35 arriving tomorrow apart from that maybe some celestial BOC86’s, nothing really catching my eye right now but we shall see what’s released but sadly I’m going to be parting with quite a few speakers in the next couple of month due to falling for a little cottage hence the Celestial’s

BeoFrederic: What B&O product(s) do you intend to buy in 2020? New or used, headphone, tv, speaker, turntable, system…?
When thinking of ‘new’,......hard to say, before you know what is coming.
As for ‘used’.....nothing (planned at least) - already got enough stuff here ( = read: downsizing).
Maybe a second iPad Mini to exclusively run the Bang & Olufsen app.....unless ‘something interesting from B&O’ would arrive soon.
MM
There is a tv - and there is a BV
a used or possibly new beosystem 4 (depending on the price),for a NON B & O TV panel from LG or Samsung

I'm waiting for an A9 keyring and an LC2, hopefully to come next week.And also an important stack of catalogues and B&O magazines!
Except that: maybe a second A2 to repeat the airplay trick in another bathroom or maybe a Beosound 3 if i found a non working unit for a good price, also to airplay it!
I've been tempted past year by a BV10-32 and a Beosound 9000. Maybe if they show up again it may trigger something.
New, nothing so far…
I’m starting to really dislike you..

Just treated myself with a secondhand iPad Mini-4 (minimum for IOS updates 13.x ) with a nice frame. Replaces the BR1BT, Beocom 5 and weatherstation.
Frame can be taken off the wall (it's kept magnetic in place) when you want to sit relaxed with the iPad. I've chosen for the Mini as the I didn;t want it to be too big on the wall.
Combined with the Netatmo Weatherstation, it suits more purposes than just the B&O app.
I bought a pair of e8 motions. Also, all the issues seem to be sorted out. They've been rock solid in terms of working as advertised (for the week that I've had them). It's unfortunate that I feel the need to highlight this.
Mikipidia:I think you may be the only one that took it this way.
Maybe he's just saying that he's not "against" (i.e unable, like me) buying "new" but not thrilled by the current lineup but also may be tempted by a future product if it suits his needs or "fantasies" just because – he's not "against" buying new.

I am just saying, that what may come in near future/2020 might influence my need for buying some thing new.
Therefore I am in no hurry - I expect something to arrive.
Having no need for what is available now, however has nothing to do with being ‘thrilled by the current lineup’ or not!
So yes, I am ‘not “against” buying new’ ;-)
P.S. I have no “fantasies” - I am just open minded and a firm believer, that B&O will continue to make interesting products/solutions.....often some, that we can’t imagine coming.
