I am vacationing in UK and Paris in July and given the weaken Euro and GBP. I am thinking to buy the BeoLab 5 and ship them back home.

Can someone tell me how much is the Beolab 5 in UK and Paris?

Thanks

If you go to the main Beoworld site and click on 'Articles' tab,  then scroll down to the bottom you will find the 2010 UK price list, the Beolab 5's are listed at £12,800.

Not sure where you're located, but the cost to have the BeoLab 5s converted to native voltage is on the high side. May still be a bargain, but after freight and alteration you may be better off negotiating a good deal with your local retailer. That way you'll also have a good contact who's invested in keeping you happy. Good luck either way, they're terrific speakers!

Luckily I am also in 220v zone so I am ok with the voltage. However, I agreed that the freight will be costly and I will lose certain backup (but at least there is international warranty). So the price difference has to be substantial before I will consider. 😎
