Dealers have seen them and told all their customers, Lee!

Anything but photos. That's the deal. 

 

We we even can show pics around but can't share. 

Don't get too excited... sound wise ok.

Have you heard them, in person?

I haven't Lee no. However, based on conversations I have had regarding some designs I have in mind going forward about new upcoming products including the OLED tv the general consensus seems to be to stick with second hand BL5s (which is not an option dues to their size) and to just stick with current OLED panels regardless of manufacturer. So that's what I am likely to pursue although I will wait to see the tv particularly in person before going ahead with any build etc. Simon.

How can you form an opinion on something you've not even seen or heard??? I've had the privilege to see and hear a pre launch pair and they blow the BeoLab 5's out of the water. These are not a direct replacement for the 5's, they are a spin off from the BL90's. I can't wait to get them in-store.

It does sound pessimistic I know, but given that the last few years have been nothing but disappointment followed by disappointment, I am honestly inclined to go on what I have heard. Other users of this forum have also made reference to dealers they have spoken to regarding upcoming products which have been seen. I am grateful for the honesty to be frank. Look at all the problems with current products, I mean seriously, if you were are a customer would you honestly buy into the brand still? I understand that people/companies/dealers/franchisees (etc) want to fight their corner as their business is on the line, but that's not an honest reflection of B&O in 2017. Simon.

We will see won't we.

My info is that they are a substantial step up from the Beolab 5.

I haven't heard them, but have 2 pairs of lab 5s. Which are incredible. We'll see if I make a change.

I hear the design is softer than the 90s and that they are meant to be a step UP from the 5s.
