Jensen has lost his touch

Jacob Jensen's

I love it. It is a pure Jacob Jensen design. Square and minimal. It has also radio and cd inside.

Jacob didn't lost his own design.

If anyone can tell me what is now typical B&O/Lewis design? Square, round, ellips or tulip? I don't know....🙁

Have you seen the BS8 Graham?

Not in the flesh, but I am not struck by either the BS8 or the Tangent box!

I think the Tangent box isn't Jacob Jensens best work, but ist is far better than the BS8. I have seen the BS8 in flesh and it is outright ugly.

I quite like the look - but:

1. Stereo in a box that narrow?

2. Where are the speakers? - must be in the sides

3. 7W a channel

4. 100 - 20,000 Hz

 

I looked for a manual but couldn't find one.

Is it any better in a BS8 Peter? I doubt it.

Take a listen, John. The stereo image is amazing given the drivers' proximity. 

Fair play Trip. Am planning a visit to the local dealer next week, so will try it out. Think there's a valid point about there not being much in it WRT the cms of difference between the driver placings in the BS8 and the Jensen boxy thing though. It's not as if there are metres in it!

Quite nice, isn't it?

With the iPod in place one gets Monolith associations from 2001.

My preference goes to the black BeoSound 8, though.
