I'm looking forward to hearing about the new Beolab 9. I do like the way they sound but I had never had my wife's agreement to change the BL 8000 to BL 9 so far, due to their look only.

I' wish B&O could design a new icon...

Prepare to make mincemeat of your wife's arguments! ;)

I've floated the idea of saving up and getting a pair of Lab 9s to replace my BL 8000's, and my wife has had the exact same reaction! If I really wanted to she'd not stop me, but she has strongly expressed her opinion that the penguins don't compare to the 8000's in looks. I have to agree despite the sound of the 9's. So, subwoofer may be in the future.

I don't know. I do tend to agree with her that the 8000's slim profile is more attractive. But hey, she says the Lab 5's look like Daleks. 🙂 At least I married a girl who appreciates Dr. Who!

My wife loves our Beolab 1, 8000 and 6000 so much. But when I show her Beolab 9, 5, 17 and 18 she always asks me: "Why are B&O speakers are looking so ugly nowadays?" My answer is: "The actual designers from B&O normally creating dustbins!"
