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 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

$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

Home Audio Setup

Emerge - no one thinks it is a speaker or what it is. For podcasts and radio more than enough. Really it should not work but it does and well. Level - I think a pair or Emerge speakers are better than one stereo Level as I can space them and I like stereo even for radio drama and discussion programm

Price aside - Beosound Balance or Level? Would pay the same $$$

The Balance sounds way better than the A5. It should! It's twice the price and doesn't have a battery. I use my A5 when I want music outside, but it's definitely not what I would consider hi-fi home audio. The Beosound 2 is my favorite of all the speakers I own. It just sounds so damn good, I've had

Suggestions for home speakers

There are ways of wiring a house for multi-room or using wi-fi and using software to synch speakers together or run separately. The obvious route is Sonos but it is not the only way with some systems costing far more and others offer more limited scope and fewer speaker choices. Acrylic have boards

Beosound A5 vs Sonos Five?

I’ve owned both and can say confidently that you can’t go wrong with either one. The A5 has a battery for much easier portability if that means anything to you - now or in the future. They both have tremendous bass response. The A5 is a warmer sounding speaker and I probably enjoyed it a little more

Can you recommend other b&o products for my collection

Beolab 90! In all seriousness, any other their smaller speakers are wonderful for around the house. Balance has incredible sound, A5 is stylish and portable. Older speakers are solid and still work with the modern ecosystem like Beoplay M3/M5 or A6. Legacy speakers can be relatively affordable like
