I have been so far out of the loop, I only have the Bang & Olufsen site as my home page so I have been seeing pictures of these glossy beoplay products but not paying much notice. Today I saw the image of the Beolab 90 and I thought "oh whoop dee doo another stupid B&O play speaker"

Oops, how wrong could I be!

I just watched the video on youtube showing Geoff Martin presenting to the press, the main three principles behind this speakers function... and I was absolutely floored. This is groundbreaking - quite innovative and unexpected! I am so curious to hear these loudspeakers with my own ears. To me the Beolab 5s sound reproduction is near perfect, so if these speakers are better than the BL5, well I am in dis-belief.

Very cool/geeky design too. Looks like Bang & Olufsen have been constructively busy behind the flimsy, gimmicky, unimpressive facade of the B&O Play label, working on their audiophile roots.

Bravo!

Once I have my pennies saved, I know what i'll be spending them on.

Seems that nobody can afford these - at the same time everyone also seem to want a lot of different options of the design/colour.

I'd take them as are - if I had the opportunity.

I have removed the wooden part, personally I prefer it like this or an option with black piano-lacquer wood, what do you guys think? :)

@Millemissen, I think is good to dream so now and then, Design in general is often a good conversation starter everywhere, I do agree if I had the opportunity I'd take them also as they are, but it's also interesting to experiment on visual level what could be altered on own personal taste :), for example I find the aluminium grill part on the soundbar of the BeoVision Avant quite distracting in a non positive way, if that was monochrome aluminium or covered with the same loudspeakerfabric as the rest of the speaker would look more in balance I think.

I have made an appointment at the end of november and going to listen to them at the dealer, really curious how they sound.

I might go for these... ;)

I can easily afford these. I think I could afford a few pairs.

But I would be homeless, divorced and my 15 € prepaid phone won't play any music on them !

The wooden bases would be nice in brushed or polished Aluminium - maybe black carbon fibre..?
