They're going to arrive in 48 hours .....

Thinking back I still can remember the first time I've heard them....

Now, almost 6 1/2 years later, its just only 48 hours until they will appear in my living room...

Goodbye my loved 8000s, goodbye Lab2 ... something big & powerful is on its way...

I hope it will be as mind-blowing as it was 6 years ago...

I can't await ....

 

Some lab 5's???

Party at Stephan's house!

I'm an automotive audio and acoustic engineer. I design loudspeakers and full sound systems for new automobiles. I also dabble with studio, consumer and pro audio projects from time to time.

I can imagine our excitement. πŸ€’ Beolab 5's?

I'd strongly suggest buying a few bottles of wine for your neighbours.. as an apology.

Yep you guessed it, its a pair of Beolab 5s :-)

I feel like a little boy getting his first bike ....

@9Lee: I really was thinking about that wine-thing for the neighbours, or a sign: "Serious testing in progress.. Do not disturb!"

I wasn't that nervous for a long time...

Will post some pictures if I can hold the camera still ....

I hope I get a pair eventually... Congrats StephanπŸ€’

Even if they were banging on the door with axes you wouldn't hear them!

A little tip.  Calibrate them in a very large room if you can, then move them to your lounge.. 😜
