My girl friend said they look like "perfume bottles".

After seeing the video, they look like "heaters" to me (with the lamellas)

Thinking a little bit more of this, I now/also see them as old car's "radiator grille" 💡

It looks like a kind of Sauna Heater at least from the side where you only see the wood slats... or at least Sauna inspiration....

Now that's a nickname the trash cans !

I do hope she's not implying you're throwing your money away! 👍

I suppose, though, that if B&O actually did make trash cans, they'd be made of wood and aluminium.

I could just imagine Geoff tuning them so an empty Pepsi can hitting the inside of one gave a flat frequency response so as not to startle wildlife living in or around them... or something.  He'd do that. I know it.

See my picture of trashcan above!

Ban boring signatures!

That's it exactly, my wife is correct but I won't win the "competition" with such a nickname !

They kind of look like Minions to me.

''Pop Up Speakers' as it kind of says it all

Hmmm, the beam width mechanism and the light are missing here...

 

If you imagine it's an eye, eyelid going up or down, pupil opening and closing, and you blend this with the pop-up tweeter, it becomes... "Pop-Eye" ! (the sailor man 😂)

Good evening,

I found something more respectful than a trash can that looks like the Beolab 50: the three sided bottle of the "Dimple Pinch" scotch whiskey.

Brilliant !!!

Attempt #2

a macabre inappropriate sick-joke approach:

BL90 - "fat man"

BL50 - "little boy"

The wide acoustic lens makes them look like overgrown hip flasks.
