Maybe a serious update??

I'm not sure Beo needs more speakers, they have it pretty covered if you ask me.

As Koning said, it would be great with an upgrade to the BL8000 and the BL6000. These are wonderful design-wise and would deserve an upgrade.

Can we expect a major update (beolab 8000-6000) very soon??

Anyone?

From my point of view the "stereo" section is pretty much in a good shape (Lab 5, 9, 3). Without any doubt, the lab 2 needs an update! With the new acustic lens spreakers the lab 2 can not keep up anymore.

Also the Lab 7.4 as a center is not a bad speaker at all, however, also a little bit week for the lab 5.

So I would update the lab 2 and a more lab 5 type of center.

P.S. and a new Belab 2000 would be nice as well

Well, I'm pleased to see that Kalle Hvidt-Nielsen has decided that Acoustic Lenses are the future of B&O speakers. They are unique to B&O, they produce magnificent sound, and it's definitely possible to expand on the concept.

I also think the BL5 can be upgraded, particularly when it comes to native processing of sample rates above 96kHz - the absolute high-end in controllable speakers has moved on, with both Meridian and Audio Physics having developed variable control speakers that are adaptible for absolute bespoke adjustments. The rumours from B&O about integration of more sophisticated DSP are encouraging in that respect, whether the control is in the speaker or in a stand-alone audiomaster, doesn't matter - as long as we get it!

But the mere fact that Acoustic Lenses are now front and center is the best news possible.

This is what he says: Discover Bang & Olufsen’s Acoustic Lens Technology, which is essential for the outstanding sound quality across our entire product portfolio.

I think that the beolab 8000 is the bestselling loudspeaker for B&O.

Not the beolab 5.

Why don't they Upgrade this beautiful loudspeaker.

let's face it,the sound is not very good of this loudspeaker,if B&O makes the soundQuality has it should be,they sell much much much more.

And not only to the regular B&O people!

But BL 8000 is updated (with better base I believe). I don´t see the need for more updates. Don't think they will sell more of them because of an update.
