Put me in the cue as well!

IMHO, one of the most exciting (anticipated) products of recent times!

Design : like a pear cut in two parts

Technology : "revolutionnary", use a physical effect like friction to work without vibration...

Price : 2000€

Performance : a little lower than Beolab 2 (I mean it goes not as deep in bass), but more "musical", read : better for music than a bl2, less good for explosions

Availability : They still hope before Xmas...

I am holding off on getting a BeoLab 2 till this comes out. Me and a friend are waiting on this.

Well I guess with the differences between the BL2 and the tulip sub just mean that you should get both haha. At least that's what I want to do.

Uggh... early rumors were that price was going to be remarkably... realistic!

Scratch me from the list if your quote pans out!

I have been told "1000€ less than a BL2"... That's close to 2000€ here😐

The plan was to sell it at 50% of the price of the BL2. No one around here actually belived that, so I guess 75% of the BL2 price will be close to the actual price. Neat that you can buy covers in different colors to suit your decor, especially if you wall mount it.

It will not be released on this side of Xmas. They will launch it with the new audio system (code named A21, the BS5 light with iPod dock) early next year... which usually is in May 🙂
