koning: New soundsystem?
I'd love a new sound system to add a third to the mix in the way of choice. Something that's less than the Moment, but more than the Essence. (maybe something completely different). {"less" and "more" in the way of functionaliy / useability; not a hideaway box but something with a display and buttons, but no moodwheel or pattern play, for instance}

I would love a center speaker with inbuild surround sound decoder. Sort of a mini bs4 so you could add B&O sound to any tv. Something you could use with transmitter 1 and 4x beolabs.
Hi Sal,
No just speculation but a nice name is always more personal than a number isn't it - like Avant, Ouverture.
Maybe a sound system that had a 128GB SSD in it so then there wouldn't be streaming problems. Simply connect it to your iTunes library on your MacBook and copy...

"Renaissance" to me sounds exactly like a name B&O would use, hence my question to you whether you had any inside information. If B&O does use such a name, hopefully someone there will send you a free example for giving them the name :-)
Hahahahah yes well, it suits the Mark Rothko style and age well. The only thing that I tend to use a TV for is watching surfing documentaries with beautiful landscapes and music so I guess that would fit in perfectly :) :) :) Certainly 10 and 11 look as original as the Barcelona chair or Eames desk chairs and that's coming from a guy who normally hates TVs in a house :) I HAVE to save for a white Barcelona chair and lounger :) :) :)
A mini mark Rothko designed beovision 6-22 with retina display and built in Apple TV for £999
A beosound century with built in iPhone 4s for iTunes and frets designed by dolce & gabbana £999.
There's definitely a BL3500 replacement on the way which I believe will be launched early next year. I understand it will be capable of working either as a link room speaker (Netlink equivalent of the BL3500) or as a sound bar when connected to third party televisions.

I wonder what was in those posts???
Millemissen: I wonder what was in those posts??? MM
Hi MM, It's okay, you haven't missed anything
It was a link to a B&O press event schedule for CES which Razlaw then realised were for CES 2015 not 2016 (hence deleted).
Kind Regards,
Ok - thank!
So now I can go to bed without any worried dreams.

I have a suspicion that B & O wants you to buy their TV that does both things.

Razlaw:I am sorry, I should have posted why I deleted the posts.
It's good we have put MM's mind at rest, otherwise his whiskers and paws would have been twitching all night as he slept

Oh - you are sooo nice, guys 😺
I did sleep well!
Razlaw:Then dug out my antique windows laptop and turned it on to edit and delete all three posts.
You make a good point - I can't even edit posts on Beoworld using Safari on a regular Mac! Got to switch to Chrome just to edit a post.

we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.

Mark:phew I thought this was me and my old age settling in... I can't seem to edit or attach pics on Safari on my iMac (edited on iPad)
If you activate in Safari:
Safari > Preferences > Advanced
Click: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Then click Develop in the menu bar > User Agent
And change this setting from Standard to Firefox--Mac
This works for me in Safari to edit my message I posted, without starting another browser as Chrome or Firefox to edit my posted message.

It is Safari and the way Beoworld is compiled (someone else might explain, what that means), that does not work together.
I can easily add pictures (using Safari) on the Mac, but can't edit there either.
You'll have to use another browser - or (on the iDevice) the Beoworld app (which I personally don't like).
Honestly, I am often pretty pi**ed off from this, too.
On the other hand it teaches you ( = forces you) to re-read your postings, before you push the button ;-)))
From previous discussions on this issue (!) I have understood, that there is nothing we can do to change it - recompiling the website would be much too expensive and troublesome.
@Chris
Thanks for that tip.
But - do you do this only, when you want to edit, or is it a permanent setting?
Seanie_230:Now the 3500 I would be interested in to replace my Beovision 6-26 in my kitchen as it's never used apart from for music. Come on Bang and Olufsen no need to keep us waiting
Come on Bang and Olufsen no need to keep us waiting
As others have mentioned this is not far away. I understand it's due for launch in January although I'm not sure which end of the month and I'm not sure if stock will be available then or whether we will have to wait a little longer.
As MM indicated, it'll be part of the beoplay 'S' range.

But no streaming of Spotify from one room to another?
Simonbeo: But no streaming of Spotify from one room to another?
Why not (although we/I don't know for sure with the new member of the family)?
If more devices support Spotify Connect, it is possible to join in on one device from another one.

A quick answer, because I do not want to pollute this thread:
- No, I just use it, to actually fool a server to edit.
- The browser will not remember your setting, Safari will revert to standard mode between launches. You can make User Agent stick if you edit the com.apple.safari.plist file. However there are no advantages to do it permanently, giving a deeper insight why would be to technically on this thread.
- The Beoworld forum is one of todays rare occasions I have to fool a website, and use it as a work around

Beoplay range means that this speaker will not be multiroom compatible like the old Beolab 3500?
TWG: Beoplay range means that this speaker will not be multiroom compatible like the old Beolab 3500?
Why not? The A6 and A9 are also marketed as B&O Play devices.
They can be standalone devices AND multiroom devices.
Millemissen:Why not? The A6 and A9 are also marketed as B&O Play devices.
Exactly.
My understanding is that it will have NL functionality (like the A6 and A9) and connections for a third party TV (like the S8) so there is nothing revolutionary about these features being included in a Play product.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing seeing the precise details and the design once it is launched.
I cannot find it again but I clearly remember having seen something looking like a sound bar in a B&O video showing a 'contest' with young design talents.
