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.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I think the BL6000s are by far the best looking loudspeaker that B&O have come up with and I can't help thinking that I'd even prefer the 8000 if it simply resembled a scaled-up 6000.

Some interesting options though - personally the BL4000s don't do anything for me.

i love the BeoLab 7.1 as they are small and powerful.

when i  had it for my BV7 32" the Beolab 7.1 can fill the whole room with sound and it has a down firing sub.

the Beolab 7.1 is way better then the BL8000 ,BL 6000 , BL 4000 ,BL4 because its a 3way speaker.

i have owned most B&O speakers but not beolab 5 & 9 (one day i will)

Also you can not go past the penta's they (MK3) are the best speakers i have ever owned.

i think its even better the the beolab 1, for me the bass is better in the pentas .

i know its a big call but that is what i feel.

 

 

 

I own BL 8000,6000,4000 and 3500

for me 3500 win 

My opinion: Beolab 8000, and the Beolab 5's. the 8000 is surely an iconic design, but the BL5s are sure to head that way as well.

1) Beolab 4500 

2) Beolab 8000

My top three:

 

1) Beloab PENTA

2) Beolab 8000

3) Ex aequo Beolab 400 and Beolab 2500
