41 replies

What do you think is BeoLab 8000 best ever designed Bang&Olufsen loudspeaker? Is this speaker what makes the company recognized in the world? I think it is the speaker that is produced the longest time.

The Beolab 8000 for me to

Agree on the 8000 but for me it's the Penta series both design and sound!!!

Didn't you ask this the other week? I remember arguing the BL9s were better and more effective.

Can't we organise polls for these 'what's the best' discussions?

Pentas too!

It was not the same question LOL

Whether you asked the question before or not, I think the answer has to be the BL8000 - at least from a visual perspective.

Pentas sound quite good but I personally think they are one of B&O's less visually appealling products - neither the shape or the steel finish seemed to "fit" with B&O AV products of the time (or since).

 

BL8000 from a visual perspective.

BL5 from technical / performance point of view.

Best design? BeoLab 5000!!!

My Beolab 5000 I used to have and now Beolab 1's for me in blue but top's must go to BL 5.
