BeoLab 17 — Farewell and thank you.

B&O is probably targeting their mainstream buyers with products like Balance, A9, BS 3 etc. Balance in stereo mode sounds quite badass. My 2 cents worth.

@Ferdinand that looks so nice! A BS9000 vertical on a clean wall is just magic!

Ice effect covers is one the best things B&O have ever come out with it. Sheer genius.

Agreed, the ice cover is a very striking design and done beautifully.

Must join in here and just agree that Beolab 17 is an incredibly well-playing speaker with very detailed midrange, good bass performance and not least a pleasant ear-friendly sound for all kind of music. A big improvement over the BL4000.

Was actually not aware when I decided for BL17 that they was discontinued, so very lucky I find a set.

Bought perhaps the very last set in Denmark after calling many dealers where they were sold out.
