I saw this advert this morning, and wondered what other products you think should have been in the Beoplay range.

These are about £350.00, so an excellent price point for the man on the street, and it does scream simplicity plug and play for what is a massive market.

t's easy to sit at home and spend other peoples money i know, but even a few years ago i thought this would have been an excellent idea for a Beoplay product. What would you want or to get rid of?

Interesting but in this case loses the brand integrity when used under a non beo product. If it becomes the main brand of the TV/speaker combo with another make of TV then the picture may not be good enough?

what I'd like to see is a room link speaker based on the V1 which is plug and play using the TV as the hub . This would maintain the brand integrity and be addictive Lego-style.

The Beolab 14 can be used with any other brand! This would be a one box solution with no wiring etc.

It's what most people want I think. Look at the prevalence of sound bars recently.

Yes I agree, but your suggested sound bar/ plinth would place a (subtle) beoplay logo right below Sony or whoever. The beolab 14 does not do this and at its higher price will only be mixed with better TVs .

If they could sell as many as Bose will of these, who cares to be honest.

What price are you suggesting Chris ?

£350 is the price of H6 headphones , so maybe £750 - 800. Somewhere below A8 . Does that make sense .

Why not bastardise the A8 for TV use? Anyway, just a thought.
