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

If you let Ministry getting the lab 5's to work hard, the neighbours will indeed attack the door with axes. 😜

I,m jealous, be a while before i get some, cant wait to see the pictures.

You know what gave the final "GO" to buy these? The review here on Beoworld... I think I've read it at least 20 times ...

B&O should really post this on their website, its so great!

30 hours to go.... and counting

Great! I remember when I got mine. They are truly great!

I read that review right after I came across this thread of yours Stephan. It must have been my 5th time reading it.

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.

Congratulations!  🤒  I'm happy you are happy.  May I suggest the Telarc/Eric Kunzel version of the 1812 Overture?

Kevin's obviously way too cultured.. 😕

I suggest doing what we first did at LifeStyle AV.  Turning them up so loud they visibly moved the front of our trousers, then made objects shuffle across shelves with the vibrations.

Yes, we're all big kids - but we love our jobs 🙂

Lee, you are all too kind!  My BL8000 can vibrate a 300lb dining table, so I can imagine what the BL5 can do at the LifeStyle AV.  Just be sure your trousers are not too tight!  😂

@ evman: I've read it the 21 time after my post :-)

Hope this will be not too hard to drag those to the second floor by myself...

I just feel bad about my front 8000s and the sub, every time I'm thinking about selling something from B&O, I spend the double amount of time thinking of ways to justify to keep the stuff ....

I think the guest toilet and the kitchen are not B&O equipped, hmmmmmmm :-)

Around 10 hours from now on, and I cannot sleep ....

Ouverture would be nice but my 9000 will NEVER leave my livingroom as this started my collection and the whole B&O thing...

Truely a B&O icon in my point of view and I'm still stunned of the quality.

I never experienced any issues besides a swap of the CD drive unit due to a dusty/old lens..
