I have both BL4000 failed and repaired this year, Since my whole system was bought at the same time (ard 12 years ago). I have a bad feeling that they are going one by one. I asked my B&O dealer here and repairing the one BL8000 will cost around $600. But if the BL2 fail, the cost to repair will be very high and they no longer support BL10.

Despite I hope to see a "new in our dream Stage 2", I honestly don't think it will arrive on time. So I am thinking to sell my BL8000, BL10, BL2, and beosystem 3 and switch to Stage in the meantime. I will be keeping the BL4000 for my dreaming Stage 2 to arrive and hopefully, by that time, BL5 will be lower in price as well,

What do you guys think?

Cheers!

No idea what you mean? "Dream Stage 2" "Stage 2" "switch to Stage"?

As an owner of two Stages, it's a good soundbar for sure. Excellent. But it wouldn't replace a proper speaker setup for me. I noticed a huge difference switching from the BV12-65 + BL3s + BL11 versus just using the Stage.

Hi,

I think, chickenceo means a lot of us dreams of the „Stage 2“

Evolution to 5.1 or 7.1 System as a Master like Beosystem 4

to use our „old“ Beolabs in their fully function

as Surround System on a „Free“ LED or OLED TV like the new LG

with our System Remote BeoRemote One BT. Smile

My Stage sounds great as a TV Bar in bedroom on an Samsung LED.

But Beosystem 4 with real 5.1 sounds fully and better in rear Smile

My opinion.

I believe/hope B&O will eventually release a new centre speaker that can link with other beolab speakers for a proper 5.1/7.1/or even x.x.x  setup, aka my "Dream Stage 2". :P

I don't expect the Stage can beat a proper 5.1 setup, but I hope it will suffice during this transitional period before my other speakers fail.
