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

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.

No, but a face lift along with an upgrade would surely sell more speakers

There are well-known acoustic problems with column speakers, that it is very hard to do anything about; it's also a much imitated design. When they first came, they helped B&O stand out, not so much any more. Maybe adding acoustic lenses would be a possible evolution for the BL8000 ...

I believe (adding bass) is what Daniel meant above, which is what they did with the latest revision. Not working on the base mount, but on the bass resolution.

With a small facelift Soundproof  and better drivers-better amp adding a acoustic lens.

There you go!

The New beolab 8000🙂

Sorry for my spelling error. Of course I meant BASS and not base.

ALT on BL 8000? Not for me please.

Karsten there is BeoLab 10 as a center, and it is werry close to BeoLab 5 in its sound.

The BL2 certainly doesn't need Acoustic Lens Technology. It is a sub, and bass will not benefit in the same way from ALT.

I think the speaker range is really good.

I could wish for another, more conventional centre speaker, than the BL7-4 and the BL10, which has ALT.

Who suggested BL2 needed an ALT? ❓

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately the Beolab 10 is no option for me as my motorized screen would cover the speaker in the cinema mode. My 7.4. just stands on a low board and the screen drops down just a little bit behind the acustic lens.

I'm speaking for myself Tom

sorry
