Thanks Max, hope there will be a test in due time where the 28’s are compared to 50’s and especially the room adjustment capabilities.

 

I find it hard to tune my 19 in my room for good bass reproduction due to my room acoustics. It is either too soft or too hard, depending on where I sit in the room.

 

I assume with 50’s I can compensate this, for 28’s not so sure. BV Eclipse 55 Brass - BL 18 Brass - BL 19 Brass - BL17 Black - BL 3 White - BS Moment - BS 2 Brass - BV Horizon 48 - BS3000 - BS 3200 - BS Essence MK2 - BL 4000 - V1 40 Black - V1 40 White - BLC NL/ML - H6 - H4 - E8 Motion - A8 Earphone - Beolit 12 - Beolit 15 - Beoplay A1 Green - Beoplay A3 White

 

 

I hope for the same comparison.

There is no mic calibration like Beolab 50 and 90 but from my information it may become a future update to have that functionality. 

At the moment they tune themselves like Beosound Balance, Level and Emerge by sending a tone and measuring the response with their own internal mics. 

They are no BeoLab 50 but damn, they are so impressive. Like a lovely half way point between BeoLab 18/19 and BeoLab 50. Stayed late in the shop today listening between 28/50 and 90. BeoLab 90 still have my heart :-).

There are no plans for brass tone at launch, just silver, anthracite and bronze. Not sure if it will be added to the bespoke programme. I think you may see gold before brass but I can't be 100%

I REALLY like the silver grey design and the mechanical magic! Well done Bang & Olufsen!

Thank you all

They're a proper bit of kit and will pose great conundrums for customers in which way to go. It's the perfect problem for B&O to have imho because pricing wise:

90's= harmony 50's & 28's

50's= 1/2 65'' harmony and 4 bl 28's or harmony 28's and 18's.

Depending on that you do you have excellent options in the high end and in my mind this poses really fun questions

Does anyone know whether the fact that the woofers in the base point downwards would transfer vibrations to the floor? I live in an apartment and I wouldn’t want to inflict too much noise on my neighbour below.

The frequency range of the BL28 is down to 27Hz which is not that much different from the BL18 which goes down to 28Hz. Clearly the extra size of the speakers will allow them to play much louder before the ABL kicks in. But given that the BL19 goes down to 21Hz do the BL28s have that deep bass that you feel rather than hear? I’m not trying to be critical at all. I’m sure they sound absolutely amazing. But I’m no sound engineer and as a layman I was just curious when I heard the frequency range.

I found the28s to be surprisingly bassy when I listened to them

I’m not a bass head, but my 50’s sounded less bass prominent than me 28’s to my ears
