88 TONE STYLE Audio UFO Bang & Olufsen’s BeoPlay A9 By Jeff Dorgay 88 TONE AUDIO NO.53 March 2013 89 TONE AUDIO NO.53 March 2013 89
90 TONE STYLE TONE AUDIO NO.53 If you’re looking for an unconventional yet gorgeous audio system, consider the A9 from B&O. Sitting on a tripod of oak legs, this saucer-shaped system (27.5 inches in diameter) is delivered with a white fabric cover. Red, green, brown, black and silver are available as optional colors, and changing the cover is easy, but does require the help of a second pair of hands. Upon first listen, Robert Plant’s “Little by Little” fills my living room with thunderous bass, and the outward-firing 3-inch midrange drivers and 3/4-inch tweeters create a large stereo image. For those not connected via AirPlay, adjusting the volume only requires a gentle hand swipe across the top face of the system. Staying in the Plant groove, I decide to make a quick shift to the first Led Zeppelin album, which instantly establishes the A9’s ability to rock out. With a pair of 80-watt amplifiers for both midrange drivers and the dual tweeters, combined with a 160-watt amplifier for the lone 8-inch woofer, the A9 has almost 500 total watts of power on tap. The spacy guitar riffs in “Dazed and Confused” fill my living room, and the A9 doesn’t run out of juice, even when turned up well past prudent levels. But it’s Zeppelin, right?
