Hi Guys,
I heard a rumour that the 50's would be released in a Brass edition in May. I was told this by a shop in London but no one else seems to have this information when I visited a few other stores.
I was advised this would be in conjunction with a Brass edition of the Beovision Eclipse.
Has anyone else heard this?

Thanks Mikipedia,
I've actually watched and enjoyed your videos of the 50's online and always thought you seemed very happy with them. What issues have you been having?
The Dealer seemed convinced May was the timeframe was definite as they delayed the launch so they could release the 50 and Eclipse together.
Not sure if the changes will be just cosmetic or not.
I had the same problem with the 4 Wisa Beolab 18s & 19 I have from the wifi connection. They would flash red and make all these cracking noises and lose syncing with my Transmiter one as have a Loewe Oled TV connected to it.
I searched for a solution for months only for B&O in one store to tell me my apply TV which was connected to the 5ghz wifi router and sitting next to the transmitter 1 was causing the interference as WISA works on a spectrum of 5hgz. Other streaming boxes on that spectrum will cause the same issue I was told.
If your TV is connected to the 5ghz network on your router try switching to 2.4ghz. I switched all my devices next to my transmitter 1 or in your case an eclipse to 2.4ghz
Oh wow that's terrible customer services . Sorry to hear that
Is there a page on beoworld that tracks buyers problems? I was offered a discounted pair but reconsidering now as would be disappointed too especially at the prices being paid for a set
B&O will update their products visually at least once a year to keep them looking like new in adds/showrooms. The "new" BeoSound 1 in piano black is just around the corner (but the SW is still not sorted out), they have a few speaker frets for the BL50 (hope they release the MB AMG grill look-a-like fret first).
I would be surprised if they pushed the brass edition as early as May with their current stock of shiny alu bits laying around...

Are the new BL50 frets out yet?
Have to say I'm not a big fan of the oak

Exactly.
WISA is poorly thought out.
2.4ghz ISM spectrum (wifi or not) is overused and noisy, hence why newer wifi installations and devices are moving towards 5.0ghz ISM band. Problem is 5.0ghz for the moment does not have as much utilisation due to its smaller footprint and more 'channels' available. However the same rules apply to 5 as 2.4 so interference can and does occur as noted.
Now WISA may utilise 5.0ghz band but it is not wifi - so every frame sent to / from WISA is seen as simply garbage noise to a wifi device & station. And the opposite is true as well, 5.0 wifi frames are seen as noise to WISA devices. Airplay/chromecast are different in that they are wifi frames regardless of band used.
In theory the 'channels' may not overlap but auto channel selection tends to pick the same lower numbers due to footprint needs. Roughly speaking 2.4ghz coverage can be 4-10x that of 5.0ghz.
Had WISA been using another ISM band or combination of such this wouldn't have been an issue.
And this is even before getting into the firmware and software end of things
