I actually quite like them! A brave attempt to be different in their styling, which has created something original. This is what B&O do after all !!
They would look good in only a limited amount of surroundings though, which is where B&O always seem to win. I've seen BL8000's, BL9's and the like in small front rooms and also in grand warehouse conversions and they looked good in both. I've even seen BeoLab1's in a Kitchen and they looked right too! (it was a big kitchen mind you)
However, at $140,000 a pair, these won't be in small front rooms i guess! 👍
In all, a good advertisement for the designer in my opinion. Only my opinion though!
