YES and NO - all FUTURE audio and video products as well as speakers will
have RJ 45 sockets instead of  DIN 8 for ANALOGUE PowerLink.

Sometimes I don't understand B&O🙁

The speakers were marketed and developped as home-cinema speakers that would blend & integrate better than the current range of BeoLabs with the current range of BeoVisions..and what similarity do you find between BV10 and these? None!

Im sorry ... maybe I missed something here but since when were they "marketed" as anything?  These are leaks ... and crappy ones at that!  Maybe you should wait til they're actually released before saying something about how a product that hasn't even been launched is being marketed 😕

How was the sound quality compared to the beolab 6 & 8000?

We didn't have them wired up, we simply showed them. The only pictures I have them are mentally stored upstairs :0)

We will review them properly for you once they arrive (in the New Year?!?).

Alex, the (really awful) picture was put up by bang & olufsen on twitter, so not really a 'leak' as such....

Yesterday I visited my local dealer and he showed me pictures and "drawings" from a PDF. He just scrolled trough the PDF without stopping. What I saw and can say is that are really slim. Exactly as slim as the BV12. He also confirmed the price (39.000 SEK) for a pair.

He also told be that he thought that the price for the upcoming BV12 will be around 175.000 sek incl. Speaker.

I believe the picture in this link is original. It comes from a spanish dealers website but was later removed.
