I saw that the bl4000 has being upgraded with ice power so the question is when would the bl8000 be upgraded?
And would the bl 8000 have som benefits in soundquality with ice power?
Should i wait to buy bl8000 or what should u do in my situation?

Beolab 8000 ICE-Power?
51 replies
I once worked with B&O about four years ago and at a yearly company forum we had a visitor from Denmark who told us that BeoLab 8000's would have a full upgrade including Ice Power. However later that year we where told that BL 8000's had a major upgrade but that IcePower wasn't needed. The sound comparisons between the two was very noticable but wouldn't Ice Power get rid of the heatsinks and allow more room inside and a grater litre volume for the drivers movement?
I always thought ICE = In Car Entertainment
No, It's called ICE Power because the amps run cool with no unused energy and therefore not requiring a big metal heat sink for dispencing heat. Creating a smaller amp with larger power. Perfect for BL8000 I would think.
I thought ICE meant Intelligent, Compact and Efficient...
I believe you're right Alex but it's a clever play on words for what it can do.
So back to the question: are the BL8000 about to get ICE-Power Amps or not, or do they even need them??

Alex, just read your signature, which initially was meant for the new beoworld, but now, after you came back, it matches you too! 😁 The only thing I don't know is what has been improved on you!! 😂
