These speakers specs are great but I'm afraid for me i do not like the look of them just my thoughts

in case you buy them......Do NOT REMOVE THE GRILLS......it  looks like some kind of ugly attack fish

The real challenge will be if they can build a smaller version, thereby demonstrating the trickle down of this technology to more affordable speakers that are smaller / living room friendly.

Butch1 you cant compare exakt with this active room compensation. This should be able to reduce echoes for example. Exakt is good but this is a new level. 

Its not just exalt I meant space optimisation plus which adjusts the room, drivers etc read about it.

This is what they declared officially.

The technologies developed for bl90 will be used in the smaller speakers ad well in the future, as always... 🙂
Yes, Tue already said that. I know there is a mass of stuff about these at the moment but if you read through it, the info is there.

Scanspeak illuminators that must confirm them as the very best which is thier reputation and wonder why the 5 never had them

Well, I'm guessing you'll be sitting in front of the speakers. That's the rear view - and again, form is dictated by function.

 

From the technological point of view:        F A N T A S T I C !

Congratulations to Geoff Martin and the whole development team in Denmark!



I hope this time Bang & Olufsen will be taken serious by the Hifi / Highend world, too!

The design... I have to see it live... on the pictures it doesn't look good to me - which is ok if the sound compensates (and I'll make a strong guess that it does!) :-)

I guess there will be several way to use these new technologies in a B&O speaker setup - especially with the 'room compensation' part.

Isn't it obvious to let the speakers in a multichannel setup help each other to compensate for problems in a room - just like the side/rear/back-speakers of the BL90 does?
