Listened to these today.

WOW! 😁

I agree. I listened to them twice today in Harrods excellent listening room. Both myself and my even more sceptical wife were very impressed by them. Next to them were Beolab 90s, which we listened to straight after the 28s using the same track etc. Honestly and in not so big a room, I’d rather take the 28s over the 90s they were that good.

They were better in the flesh than I thought they’d be, but it’ll still take some time to get used to that club foot!

Some new Eclipse and 18 colours I’d not seen before

I’d not always enjoyed Harrods in the past, but today they were excellent.🤒

I can't be sure but,

I currently use a Marantz pre outs connecting to Beolab 18/19 and ceiling mounted 15's via Transmitter 1.

If I send anything over the Marantz, stream, tv, cd etc it automatically activates the speakers. In the case of the 15's that means activating the feature that causes them to electrically drive up the 1/2 of the speaker that transmits the sound.

So, I am almost sure that the 28's "curtain" automatically opens once the speakers are activated, which would happen if you send anything across the Marantz.

Of course, we can't be sure until you physically try it, but I would be quite confident that this is the case.

good luck!

I tinteresting. I also have a pair of 18s and Bella’s 3 hooked up to my marantz. All the speakers shut off after 6 minutes of no signal, so I notice during movies the green light on the 18s come on and off several times an hour. 

If the 28s do the same it will be very distracting so I kinda hope that there is some other answer

Wow, sorry about that. This forum does not work well on iPads that's for sure.

Hi Skywalker

You better use your other hand…👍

So, has anyone taken delivery of their BL28?

Or does anyone else have additional listening experiences they’d like to share with us? :)

Lol. They really gotta fix these forums. Works terribly in general and even worse on iPads.

That’s why I always use the Beoworld app when posting on my iPhone. For reading I use the website and Safari.

Did anyone purchase the limited edition launch special in black?
