BV9 in black or white? Opinion please

What do you think?

Shall I stick with black or change to white?

 

 

The white is more "futuristic" but beautiful.

The black is classical.

Go for the white !

my girlfriend says white, and so do I.

Looks very nice,

and if you change your mind later on you can always go back to black.......

The white is not for me. I far prefer the classic black look. When B&O first announced white products I was keen to see them. However, there is nothing that captures me in the 'white range' at all other than the BV8, which does work well I think.

The black option for me, for a couple of reasons: firstly I like the white (and have thought of a white BV8, myself), but think I'd wear thin of the look after a period of time. Secondly, it's more impractical. Every time I see a white product in my local B&O, it seems to have got dirty and become a little grey. My thoughts are that it's hard enough keeping my black BV8 clean; how hard would it be to keep a white BV8 clean? Not easy, for sure.

With a white BL2 and white BL8000s I think the choice is obvious: WHITE.

You can always change back.

I would go for black as well. There is few products that I think would work in white .... namely BV8, BS3, BS1 .... I don't like that combination of alu frame and white speaker clothing .....

I would say white !

Why not .... more extravagat ! Your place is loking beautiful and whith the dark wall behing ....

Just .... white 🙂

Visually I prefer the black

Practically I... Also prefer the black : with white your eyes will be distracted from the screen, that's less comfortable when you watch TV...

I'm not sure the silver frame of the BV9 goes very well with the white speaker cloth. But as mentioned above - with white BL8000's and BL2 - white would be my choice. Otherwise - black never goes out of fashion. But that's on the other hand also one of B&O's strengths - you can choose between different colours when you buy your loudspeakers, tv:s and, in some cases, even your stereo - and you can change colour at a later stage if you should regret your initial choice. Quite expensive though...
