Hi there,

as it can be read in another thread bl4000 and bl6002 are getting phased out. As I plan to mount my existing 4000s on floor stands in the near future I headed over to german dealer Karpa & Müller to look for the current price. By chance I stumbled upon this:

http://www.cb-leipzig.de/Produkte/Bang_Olufsen/Lautsprecher/BL14/bl14.html

The rumours about a Bose-like actice subwoofer / passive satellite system seem to be true. The text says it's a 4.1 system together with a b&o tv and a 5.1 system together with an av reciever of a third party manufacturer.

Interesting thanks. I ditched my 8000/6000/2 combo for a more subtle 10-46 and Beolab 2 setup, but to be frank really miss the experience. This tick both boxes. I think Paul W will appreciate the colour range.

hahhahah yes Chris, My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw the sexy yellow colour!!!!

Damn, I can't believe you ditched the 6000/8000 damn, the nicest speakers ever!!! But i guess they require a lot of breathing space

Nice. I could be interested in this. They will hopefully tell us more at CES in a couple of weeks.

Wonder which pricepoint they're targeting.

I'm not sure though why it is only 4.1 with a B&O TV - would that mean that the TV is the centre channel? But if that is the case, where does the 5th speaker go if it's 5.1 with a non-B&O TV?

Surely someone's just made that up!🙁

Generic aluminium blobs on generic aluminium stands with coloured frets, oh and for a sub let's chop the lens off the top of a lab9!

Think so. Together with a b&o tv the tv is the center. Together with a third party tv maybe a fifth satellite works as a center.

Thanks beoberlin,

great link. It looks exactly as my dealer described it to me a couple of weeks ago. The amps for the satellite speakers are supposed to be located within the sub housing.

Three weeks ago he told me that the speaker system pricewise will be underneath the price of the Beolab 2.

I'm interested in this speaker system (although I would prefer it as "Beolab 13"), if the sound is good for me.

Kind regards,

Rolf
