Successor of the Beolab 17? Seems a bit close to the Balance visually, but no idea of the size…

It looks really good! And I love it, ...BUT, the price! With oak the pricing in Norway is over 70 500 NOK ! Over 6000 Euro!
I don't know, but I am afraid they are getting way to expensive for "normal" working class people..

The listed pair prizes I see are 5000 € (with the regular cloth cover) and 6000 € (with the lamellas) including the table stand.

@Normann
I know - I too will have to dig deep into my pockets to find the money……..if I want a pair of these (for ceiling/hight speakers with my Theatre).
Certainly a bit more expensive than I would have guessed (compairing e.g. to a pair of the A5’s) ?
But still reachable for a lot - just remember the original prizes of previous smaller Beolabs.
However - apart from the prize especially for the wooden frets - I guess they are all a lot of the Beoworlders have asked for - including PL and WPL/WiSA - form factor and placement options.
Personally I would not need the multiroom/included sources etc functionallity. But making two versions (just a speaker and the Mozart/multiroom version) probably would not be possible saleswise.
Will be interesting to see/hear how it delievers - hopefully the SW will be finished/stable at the launch
I do not really see any alternative for me (as hight speakers etc)….except for a pair of preowned BL3’s, 17’s or maybe the BL4’s.
Which other company could deliever there??

It seems that they will be demoed at the Cedia in Denver during the next couple of days - watch out for YT videos from there!

They are at the lower end of what i expected price wise too.
But i guess once you include the mount price, and the absurd wood price (same as the Theatre wood?!) a pair of these will end up at close to 6K GBP, and 6.5k Euros.
Not that i need these myself, I’ll stick with my 17s as rear/surrounds.
