BeoLab 5 used or BeoLab 20 new?

24 replies

I am looking in to update my BeoLab 9 and have a hard time deciding on new B20 og used B5. B5 has fo me always been dream but too expensive. Now they are within reach used but for less price I can get brand new B20 with new technology...any thoughts?

BL5 all day in weekπŸ™‚

Short and precise πŸ™‚

What about Eclipse vs Harmony 65 inch?

I had BL9 and not really satisfied with them. To sharp sound.

BL 20 is much better, but I had go for BL5.

I got mine MK2 for aprox 5200€

Cheaper then new BL20.

But thats my two centsπŸ˜•

Harmony 65 for better panel, sound and closer to a B&O design IMHO. I would go with LG GX + Stage over an Eclipse...

I need the Tv as a set with B9 and B17 speakers so stage not an option :-) but I guess it have to be Harmony then :-)

I have 55” Eclipse and love it. Harmony is better on both sound and picture again. If you need the moveable stand you need Eclipse. I like the Eclipse design very much, to me it is more stylish than Harmony. The movement is nice and in off stand cool but when on it is a bit in your face and I do not like the little gap between screen and speakers.

Wrong thread!!???
Bit off topic indeed but only replied to the question above.

On topic: I agree with you that BL5 is even better then the BL20. I assume there is not much difference between BL9 and BL20, or am I wrong here?
