Good to see that there are new product being introduced, but.... I saw a picture of the speakers thinking this must be some kind of Aprils fools joke. I could not imagine that this design is serious. The beautiful, balanced BL8000 being mimicked in such an ugly way... Unbelievable! As for the subwoofer.. No words for that either, how ugly.

I think if you trawl the internet, you'll find not many companies do catalogue shots with wires in...  If they do put them in, they soft focus the background - and the cables.

If the deer has any concept of AV it'll be wondering why seven speakers are configured in such a crazy way.

However... this is just to demonstrate the various placement positions, nothing more or less than that.  You see beautiful girls draped over the dynamic, handsome, well dressed driver of the new Bentley Mulsanne whatever - but in reality he's usually a balding, overweight middle aged man with a wife that looks like her face caught fire and it was put out with a shovel..  

Not many lounges look like that but it's stylish**, minimalist - and clearly expensive as it's in the country and not a rough council estate in Bradford*

Sell the dream. Everyone does. It's marketing!  Let's get back to the products though - this is what the thread is about. What do you think of them??

Agreed Lee. But for those not aware of just what 'Wireless' means for these new speakers, there could be some confusion.

Maybe a future underfloor induction type of power system could bring about really 'Wireless' speakers!

Graham

And let's face it, the old Beovox systems are much nearer to being 'Wireless' when it comes to hiding what is akin to bell wire as opposed to mains flex.

Yes, they launched Beolab Transmitter 1 a small box you can add to any of your BeoVisions or BeoSounds via Power Link get wireless performance with the new speakers. The box has 4 Power Link sockets, 1 Toslink input, 2 RCA inputs.

does not photograph well - go and see them when in the shop - they look awsome

yes, they all have power link connectors, toslink and 2 x RCA

They do not photograph well in black - you should go see them when they are in your local store. They look great!
