That's the modern marketing strategy; light / slim (PS3) / etc. ..........

yes my dear ;-)

Come on you cousins across the Atlantic - cue? CUE? Billiards anyone?

Also, a new subwoofer "one of the most exciting (anticipated) products of recent times!" ??

Things really are bad for B&O if that's the case!

I am a bit behind the 8-ball on this one, so don't rack me! Give me a break and chalk it up to internet laziness...  😂 queue, if you prefer!

Perhaps that should read: "one of MY most anticipated"

I just think that the concept of a wall mountable sub, that might double as architectural/art is EXCITING!

It reminds of the days of the mondrians and I for one am excited as hell to see what it looks like and how well it performs!

OK, so the mondrians didn't sell well in their day, but I would love to see a modern take on them, anyone else?

I'm with you on that one, Jaff.  They were a very interesting design, good sound and even had a display. I guess the market was just not ready when they launched a speaker concept that didn't look like anything else out there. I would love a pair of those in my office if I had the space for them.

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 🙂

First: I thought the current BS5 was the light version already.

Second: if the new sub is launched in May it is actually available before christmas, christmas 2010 that is.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon rather late, but a couple questions:

Will it replace the BL2 or will it be another (less expensive?) subwoofer option?  Will the BL2 still be produced?

Will it have a 'line in' for non B&O applications?

I cannot envision what this tulip-like shape or double-pear shape will look like.  Any drawings anywhere to be seen?

I love my BL2.  I've nicknamed it 'my little bowling ball'!

Waiting for news as well!

The new sub will not replace the BL2. It will not be as big of as powerful as the BL2.. basicly it's for customers where the BL2 is overkill.

Can more bass be overkill? I simply love the sound it gives me on Star Wars Episode 2 when the Seismic Bombs explode ... Terrific!

"Could bass be overkill?" Well ask the question to my neighbors (below AND above me) :-)

A smaller sub more then welcome to add some punch to my BL8000s, but for me the BL2 is a bit too much (€€) at this point.. Therefore a BL2-on-a-diet is more than welcome.
