Here's an album of the images: http://imgur.com/a/fOUPi

The ALT element is an improvement in both design and materials over the old one, in my opinion.

Haven't decided about the rest, it looks a bit more 'evil' somehow with the hawkish lines.

I saw them through the windows of a dealer in Denmark this morning. I immediately noticed the beautiful integration of the lens. Looks very interesting.

Another bonus is that you see a picture of the BL20s together with the Avant on the above url. 

They look like they have the pyramid shape of the beolab 4s. 

According the the specs it has toslink. Having digital in is really important for me and the reason I chose BL5s over BL9 some years ago. I look forward to see them and hear them tonight...

Which dealer? So I can plan my commute home ...

That's nice to know. It also has WISA built-in.

Regarding drivers, the mid and bass seem to be same size as Beolab9.

Saw them at Falconer Alle. The Avant was covered by black cloth but the BL20s were on display close by. The Avant has BL18 speakers on the sides. I guess you can see both BL20 and Avant at any dealer later today.

These look really nice, even on photo...
