Glad you got them back OK Hugo. Enjoy them for many years to come.
Enjoy them Hugo. New B&O is always a treat.

Hi Hugo. Congratulations.

BeoLab 9 has always been a winner. I can recommend going to the old school.

I agree. It is one reason I haven’t upgraded my Beolab 8002 with 18s. Instead I got the Beolab 18 frets to for my 8002. The sound is warmer. The Beolab 9s are way better than the 8002 and 18 IMHO in every way. It’s a no contest if you are OK with the looks. I have a Beolab 2/8002 combo. One of my neighbors has a BL 18/11 combo and a friend used to have BL 9s but now upgraded to BL 5s. So I am writing from memory....the BL5s can be had used for less than a BL 18 pair and is truly amazing!
