A great review. He was effusively positive. Makes me want a pair.

I’m really glad B&O corporate is giving him gear to review.

Currently: BeoLab 17, BeoLab 18, BeoSound Core, Beosound Level, Beosound A1 2nd Gen, BeoPlay S8 Connection Hub, Essence Remote

Previously: BeoSound 1 non-GVA

Me too, it’s the future imho
Definitely a great review. I have been thinking about trading my 50s in on a pair of 28s. Aesthetically they would look and fit better in my room and open up space for a larger TV. This video may just get me to make the switch.
Excellent review. The 28s to be seem the most interesting product to come out of B&O for some time (with the exception of the 90s). I think it might be time to go and have a listen

Miki, when do your BL28's arrive? Is the "regular oak" (not light oak) a special order? And thus, taking more time? I look forward to a video or two on your YouTube channel when they are set up.

Oh, and one more thing--I agree with Andrew--the aluminum ring atop the speaker should rotate for volume like an Essence remote rather than dragging fingers over sensors on the top-face. Great idea.

For what it's worth, I fianlly managed to hear a pair of Beolab 28s a week or so ago in Harrods.

I was hugely impressed by the sound. The midrange and treble were tas lovely as I would expect from B&O but bass was superb with great impact and excellent detail.

Mrs. S and I both left impressed and thinking that they're actually something of a bargain. That said, we're not planning to ditch the Beolab 90s just yet! 😁

The listening room there is impressive isn’t it. I heard the 90s next to the 28s and I too was mightily impressed.
That review is going to sell a fair number of BL 28s, all by itself.

Amazing how long it took them to start sending out products to some (sensibly selected of course) reviewers, whether those are Youtube reviewers or elsewhere.

But great to see that they are increasingly utilising a couple of them.

Can only help - and sort of imposes some discipline on the quality of what they send out.

They need to send their speakers out to the likes of subjectivist audiophiles like Steve Guttenburg, Darko, Fremer etc to increase the profile of B&O or as the average person in the street says; “B and who…??? Nope, never heard of him”
