B&O in 2018

30 replies

So, there has been the Eclipse and BL50s in 2017, any news on products expected for 2018? 

The current crop of products are so uninspiring that nobody seems to care any more.

My guess is a speaker smaller than the  BeoLab 50... Video front: maybe an Eclipse variant.. But that's about it I guess.
Music system? As all current music is digital... I don't think we'll see a new audio system.. Or it'll be some kind of repackaged Core.

However... giving Geoff's current dive/obsession into digital artifacts and the reproduction of digital audio.. maybe somethings is in the pipeline..

I‘m sure we’ll get new colours in Autumn.🙂

I hope so...

BeoLab 5 -> BeoLab 50

BeoLab 3 -> BeoLab 30

Hopefully Beosystem 5

Here is the Beolab 50 review from What HIFI.

A great review, but I noticed that it had to be fed by a Naim streaming machine. Naim is a great company , but a relatively little one. Surely a company like B&O can make a streaming device worthy of its speakers ambitions.

B&O goes retro ...

B&O launched the BeoVision Goliath, a reminder to TVs of the fifties, here a model of the late GDR, blown up a little bit. Price: about the same as the BeoVision Eclipse 55"; screen size: 55", material: massive wood, plywood and MDF for the back.

For me a little bit too much of skeuomorphism.
