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

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

Emerge stereo vs A5? Help me choose!!

I live in a fairly small apartment, and have a Beosound Level in the living room, and a single Emerge speaker in my bedroom. I would say for my living space, the Level is “too big” in terms of room filling sound and I typically run it at 25-30% max volume level. The A5 is louder and more bassy than

B&O Level vs A5 Price to Performance?

I have noticed that too with the Beosound 2. At volume level 20 or 24 it sounds nice in the background, but it really starts to shine and open up when you get into the high 30s and 40s on the volume slider! The A5 is the same way...to get the vocals "out of the speaker" I have to dial the volume up.

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

I have the A5 and it has a volume problem where it doesn’t stay on the same volume level it sounds good but im thinking of getting the balance how loud can you describe the sound that comes out of it ? And how better it is than the A5 beosound ?

How much better is the balance compare to the beosound A5 im dissapointed on the sound problem the A5 has it sounds way to low on some music and loudish on some songs is ridiculous just how expensive it is and the beolit20 does not have that volume problem

B&O Level vs A5 Price to Performance?

Very helpful...thank you! Like you, the Beosound 2 is my favorite of the bunch and it can really fill a room. For a portable solution, I really like the A5, but tend to listen to Blues, Jazz, Vocals, Classical, etc and sometimes it can feel more compressed or slightly muddy vs the B2 where the highs
