I think you would be disappointed by the amount of 'secret info' that we get! 😂 The sheep tend to spill the salient features anyway! I don't think discussion of new products is banned anyway! The problem always comes when products are rubbished before all the details are known. Equally the posting of pictures which may or may not be accurate seems to cause problems rather than help. I have no problems one way or another persoanlly though as I have no official communication with B&O!

Alright all this discussion made me curious. I found 2 pictures, but not that "spanish site".

No idea if these are legit. Make of it what you want:

• http://postimage.org/image/1tkuecl44/
• http://www.hifi4all.dk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=46053&PN=0&TPN=120

The first one looks pretty nice, in a retro-futuristic-ken-adams kind-of-way.

Now lets see if anybody censors this :-)

Hi,

my dealer showed me a pic of the "real thing" last week: It looks different!

No need...

Your first link arrived on BeoWorld HERE on September 20, 2010

Your second link arrived on BeoWorld HERE on October 25, 2010

Alright, but I think I found that spanish site:

You need Angela El Grottos, but she won't help... pics pulled overnight.

These pictures are not of the BeoSound 8...it looks far more classy than that!

I have seen the product, but as you all know, us dealers are not allowed to show pictures of the product, but believe me it will be worth the wait - very special!

I hope that the pics on that site were fake. To me it didn´t look to hot. And they surely were photoshopped.

Anybody who saw them, and have seen the real deal at a dealer? Were they real?

Edit: Sheffield beat me to it. 

That was what I was hooping for. 

And now you know why we don't just post any old picture on this site. There are three versions in those pictures! I am sure we will get good pictures and reviews soon!

Just for the record, B&O don't 'sponsor' BeoWorld !!   Never has one pound, Kroner or Euro in sponsorship money passed from B&O to BeoWorld - ever.

And i've already emailed B&O to say images are doing the rounds on the net and could end up on BeoWorld.

All we wish to do is be cordial and civil to the brand we are all here to enthuse about, not screw up product launches they spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on.  That said, as mentioned, i emailed B&O yesterday to say images were doing the rounds and it's the dealers who let them out who should be under the spotlight, not us.

Sorry to throw the cat amongst the pidgeons; but surely as an enthusiasts site, isn't this the place where we do try to find out what's coming and share that with other like minded enthusiasts? As enthusiasts, talking about and seeing upcoming products has to be a good thing pre-launch, as it creates a buzz and gives it free publicity. This helps in giving great momntum to a product launch. 

I don't agree that we should be 'choked' just because we're worried about offending a company or 'ruining' a product launch. Remember we are B&O's customers. We buy the products they make, thereby giving them revenues and (hopefully) profit. It is B&O who need to be cordial and civil to its customers, not the other way round.

Without customers there is no B&O

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that B&O do sponser this site with products for the Prize Draws rather than with cash.
