The audio quality defies their size.

This is always a big selling feature for BeoLab 3s. BeoLab 5s & 9s are great, but in a way they do just what you expect them to do. 

If I show someone the BeoLab 5s, quote their price, and maybe mention their power and then ask the client how he thinks they'll sound... well the answer is obvious. To a lesser extent this works for the BeoLab 9s as well. Over $10k. Over 1,000 watts. Of course they sound great. 

But the BeoLab 3s are the size of musk melons and don't cost a lot when you factor in their amps. But when you play them in a room with the right setup they absolutely defy any expectation that their size, price, or power could have set.

I'm surprised the BL6000 hasn't been named yet! I've always loved the design and after 20 years, they still look incredible. From the sleek design to the nice design touches (like the mirror on the footplate, which gives the speakers the illusion of being round, while in fact they're a bit flat), I've always been in love with them.

And of course the BL4500, in my opinion they're a close second. I've always hoped to owd a pair - sadly I don't...

For me:

Nr. 1) BeoVox Penta

Penta speakers have excellent sound. Even with the latest audio technology, they follow with.

Koreansk Link: BeoVox Penta type 6611.

ICEpower connection.

No debate, 8000. And the fact it's still in the product line supports that. 6000 looks nice too.

Also have to agree with Trip on the Redlines. I love them as well. 

Pentas don't really do it for me. Nor do the 4000s. And I'm not a big fan of B&O's wooden box speakers, even though they have very nice covers. Still a wooden box.

Now, if the question had been which are the most beautiful SOUNDING speakers...

Then you can't choose😂
