oopps! just realized that beofan uploaded the same picture (sorry beofan)

I think it's the real one, I just receive a newsletter from a French dealer, and the picture is the same !

"Beovision 12 65″ 3D et des nouvelles Beolab 12, design et son d’exception"

And on this image, its the same dancer ;-) :

I'm wondering... If you hang them upside down... is't there any loss in sound quality from the accoustic lens?

Also.. seems like the woofer and tweeter are in front of eachother...  

Form over function this time?

BeoLab 12 now on B&O's website, in the "news" section.

480 W of amplification, 3-way/4-speaker design. No indication of frequency response at all..🙁

There are four announcements in the 

I will admit, I don't like to look of this speaker but an intersting thought just occurred to me about this speaker that makes me dislike it a little less.

The fact that the tweeter is at the bottom has suddenly made me like the orientation theory. I have a pair of BeoLab5000s and I have them wall mounted at what I think is an appropriate height - visually. However, what isn't exactly great about the vertical placement of the speakers is the height of the tweeter. As a result, the listening experience is degraded slightly.

I also think that wall speakers, unless very small, are able to be setup properly so that they can look good on the wall and perform well at the same time.

The Lab 12 solves this by bringing the ALT down to a reasonable height for proper listening. I like that a lot!

I liked the idea that they showed the speaker in two orientations - ALT at the top ... and another view with ALT at the top.  Gives a wider range of placement options ...
