I'm confused by your text... Are they now really so much better then the old one's? Gonna ask the dealer for a listening next week.

No, my concern is that I don't find the BL 18 so much better than my 8000.

They seem better on a quick listening in the shop, but maybe at home they will be much better ?!

With the actual offer (-1.000 €) it´s a very good deal (a bargain ?) and the occasion to have modern technology.

They where much better for music listening with music mode than movie mode. Music came wireless via Ipad mini.

Maybe with BS9000 they are much better ?

@ Beogreg ---- Ah ok, I suppose you listen to the BL8000 from BS9000 at home, In the shop you had a demo from the iPad to BL18. This is for sure no comparison. Thanks!

The BL18 I have listened to in store sounded MUCH better than my BL8000 Broken Heart

Yes the BeoLab 18 sound seriously better. With BeoSound 9000 it is great !

Hi. Does anyone know the price of the 18s in the uk and if the trade in deal is on in the uk? Thanks

The new beolink gateway should be out in June or July.

It will be a tremendous update over what we have now.

It's not necessary if course to operate any if the kit. But will make tremendous improvements to your whole home setup if you have lighting,etc. attached.

Look for June or July.

Will the new Beolink work together with the current MLGW do that you could use one app for both. Will any of the updates make to the MLGW also?
My understanding is that it is a replacement.

It will work with both ml and nl products.

I anticipate a new app for it with many more features.

Simple, Gatex. Dealers have had to sign a strict NDA - with large fines if leaks occur - so there's little information out there.

Besides, this board has a strong and healthy relationship with B&O. It's not "bandorumours.com". The board owners have an obligation to the brand and the brand doesn't want leaks for today's release. The board is legally liable for the info and posts on here, not the individual.
