Beosound 2, Level, or A5? Which one of these is good on their own and better as a Stereo? Thanks!
All would sound better in stereo. A5 over level if you need more deep bass. Beosound 2 over both of them, balance in stereo is the one with a bigger difference than 3 mentioned

Replacing Sonos Five & Move with Beolit 20
J’ai fait face au même dilemme que toi. J’ai d’abord fait la comparaison entre la Beolit 20 et la Move 2. La Sonos Move 2 pouvait envoyer plus de puissance et donc plus agréable dans le jardin, mais le son était vraiment moyen (à mon goût), la Beolit 20 sonne super bien avec un son très aéré et préc

Keep coming back to the Beosound Level
I agree with you! I have the multiple beosound 2 speakers, Beosound 1, A5, A1 and the Level is one I love to play and listen to. It has its quirks, but it is beautiful to listen to for certain music. It struggles with some genres, but for classical especially it is a stunning speaker! And the portab

Beosound a1 2nd gen
The Beosound A1 2nd gen has great full sound, but it isn't good at playing loud. Use it in small rooms or close. Placing it near a corner or against a wall can help. I have two and sometimes use them in stereo. Sounds great! The A1 gen2 is my absolute favorite speaker for audio books. Very clear and

Beosound 2, Level, or A5? Which one of these is good on their own and better as a Stereo? Thanks!
I don't have the Level, but can confidently say that both Beosound 2 and A5 are very capable on their own and I would imagine are twice as good when stereo paired. If you are not planning to move your speaker, the BS2 is superior in all aspects - it has much crisper sound and has an ethernet port to

B&O Level vs A5 Price to Performance?
Currently own all 3 and use them daily. Personally the Beosound 2 is my favorite sonically speaking. But, for portability, it’s tough to decide. The B2 has great smooth bass and crisp highs. The A5 has rich bass, but like said by others, the highs are not as pronounced. It’s a warmer sound. The spea

Beosound Balance from Hell
Hi, it's probably not a Balance issue, but rather a problem with the latest app update. I've also had some connectivity problems with my Beosound A5s. It's just a guess, but I never had any connectivity problems until this last update a few days ago.

$500 off Beosound A5 vs $250 off Beolit 20. Go for the A5?
A5, especially for that price is not even comparable to the Beolit 20 in term of connectivity even, let alone sound and capability in an of itself, I would not think twice and get the A5. Source: someone (me) that was intrigued when purchasing the A5 and listened to both the Beolit 20 and the Beosou

Bluetooth Speaker Recommendations for Audiobooks
JBL makes some great bluetooth speakers for listening to audiobooks, just keep the bass flat and bump up the mids and highs if you get anything Charge series or bigger. If you have money to burn, my favorite speaker is the B&O Beosound A5.

Home Audio Setup
Absolutely, the feeling you get having nice products like B&O around the home just makes you want to listen even more. Emerge, Level, and A5 are all relatively inexpensive compared to the others in the lineup, and are easy to place around the home. Balance and Beosound 2 have much better audio quali
