Beolab 8

I can see this loudspeaker killing-off the Balance completely. I think there is also serious consideration for cannibalising the BL28 sales.

What would you rather do - Buy a Theatre and a pair of BL28s or a Theatre, 2 pairs of BL8s with a BL19? Give or take.....same price.
They can be very much bought separately.

After all, the BL8 page on the website says that they have made 3 new speakers - a standalone BL8, a stereo pair, or BL8s for use in a home cinema setup.

 
Although I would probably use the Beolab 8 on table stands, I really like the look of them wall mounted.  To me it has an art-deco feel to it.

The Beolab 17's that I bought in 2015 did not have a stable WiSA connection in my environment.  I don't know if a firmware update would fix it, but I can't do it myself.  I wonder if the Beolab 8 would be more stable for me.  I also wonder how the Beolab 8 compares to the 17 sound-wise.
Wow, UWB is used to actively adapt the sound to your exact position (iPhone only). Have to hear it!
This feature only applies for 2.0 music, not when they are part of a surround (e.g Theatre) setup. From what i read.
Will it have the same delay issues as the older mozart-based speakers?
It has powerlink connections for TV, so i dont see why there would be any delays.
