I received a few things today

Congratulations! If those are 20s, very eager to hear how they sound once you have them set up given our discussions over the last few months.

Thanks everyone!

Yes indeed they're a pair of Beolab 20's... and a Beosound Essence MkII (+ 2 table remotes). What's not pictured is an A6 which has taken to her new home on a bureau in the bedroom.

Unfortunately, the BL20's will sit in the box for a few more days until we get some furniture moved around as we prepare for guests for the holidays. When they're set up, believe me, I'll be taking lots of pictures. If anyone wants an unboxing montage, just say so, I'd be happy to oblige. Everything is sitting there just as the picture even now. I won't be touching it until it is time.

Unboxing!

I could never get a pair of BL 20's. My cat would use them as a scratcher within minutes and to be honest I wouldn't blame her as they really look the part.

Here's the unboxing. Forgive me I'm not a professional or even adept photographer. Also, they're not set up in their final positions, this is a temporary move to get the large box out of the way. Enjoy!

My cat was very interested this large new "thing" in her kingdom. Luckily, she is old and can't climb, and doesn't claw at anything (she was adopted as a declawed older cat).

I'm love the way B&O packs items. Below is the underside of the top styrofoam in case anyone is interested.

The two brothers are covered in a common shroud... ready for the unveiling. Below are the two soft touch black plastic back plates. I didn't take a picture of the power cords or the manual which came with the speakers. 

Here they are (below). They're quite tall and substantial, but at the same time not too much so.

A close up of the acoustic lens:

My wife got me a pair of cheap white gloves since she knew I was a bit fastidious about not getting prints on anything. These will work great when I'm cleaning my other B&O kit, especially the BV11 glass, as I usually wipe it with the speaker cover off to get an even clean, and put the speaker cover back on. Invariably, I get prints around the speaker cover. 

These speakers felt heavier than the BL9's. But that could be because I'm getting weaker! The empty box and packaging. Similar to the BL9 packaging, but different of course.

Finally, a couple of pictures of the 20's in their temporary position next to their younger brother the BL9's. The pictures don't do justice to how much bigger the 20s are than the 9's. They might not be bigger in actual volume, but to me they're much more visually substantial. And easily taller as you can see. Will report back on how they sound after they're set up with the Essence. Also, I haven' removed the bottom fret protector. Will remove that when they're in their final location.
