I was just going to ask, I think it's a round speaker that was made either by Grundig or Philips in the 60s, anyway it looks like one.

Gorgeous B&O setup! two of my favorite pieces, the Beocenter and the Beolab 4000s, they look soooo good together, and the Playmaker is where it belongs, down low and not highlighted, it's not the prettiest piece by comparison.

Agree it looks like the Grundig speakers with the fantastic name of Audiorama 7000.

You can still buy these. Now they are called Audiorama 8000.

Kallasar, you beat be to it. You are correct the new ones are Audiorama 9000.

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.

mirrors? hard floor ? ........are you serious?

a waste of money!!!!

Even with the implementation of the Automatic Room Compensation you can't have a good sound.

Sorry to distress you koning. Your concern about my wasting money is mistaken. You are perfectly entitled to voice your opinion, and to reassure you;

1. They are windows (not mirrors) and I have not drawn the (concealed) blinds.

2. Yes, it is a hard floor (for now). But the placement of the speakers is temporary. We are building a new house and the speakers can have a softer floor.

3. The whole point of the room compensation features of the BL90 is to "overcome" the limitations of the room. From my perspective it has been money well spent to obtain the best sound for the available environment. I would consider it a waste of money to put these speakers in a perfect listening environment where the ARC would be unnecessary.
