Thank you all for the kind welcome.

I have tried to take some pictures of the BL 90s. I can't do them justice. The black fabric is slightly translucent and has a sheen that I will have to try to convey. The 3 dimensional shape is also complex and gets lost. I will have a try with some off camera flash and my good camera (not my phone).

Watch this space.

Great.

Re Beolab 90: How do they sound?

I have been quite content to listen to my BL8000s with or without my BL2 depending on the music and my mood.......Until in March I was invited to a B&O "event".  We were introduced to the BL 90.  The speakers were in our town for a week.  We went back twice more and listened to our music as well as the demonstration tracks.

What makes these speakers stand out is more than the quality of the sound (which is very good, clear and realistic). The "staging" is the new experience for me.  The speakers produce the sound in a way that gives not only a direction to the voice or instrument, but also the distance.  As my wife said, it is like every track played is a concert or a studio performance. The sound staging gives an illusion that the sound does not come from the speakers at all.

Here is a picture of my speakers. I am sure you all will have seen lots of promotional pictures which look far better than my effort.  They are big and beautiful.  The main downside is that there are quite a few functions/features of these speakers yet to be implemented.  For me, I want the full implementation of the Automatic Room Compensation (APC).......it's coming.

Thanks for sharing, Fred, simply amazing. One of the lucky few.
