BV11 does look very good, have a great picture and sound and very nice features.
BV7-55 is for me THE B&O product, it is much more than a TV, for me it defines the design of B&O.

Speakers: BL5 and BL3

BL5 is what we want, but dont have the money. BL3 is design wise very special and does sound really good. I do have the BL3 and BL9, and to the BL9 I must say that it is amazing how much power such relative small speakers have. 
It is very difficult to make iconic speaker like the BL8000's and include the ALT technology. BL8000 is an design icon, but I do not really like the sound that much.

Me too. But please do look up on both BMR (http://cotswoldsoundsystems.com)  used in Naim and the LAT bass technology now temporary put on hold by Tymphany till the market is ready (http://www.d-s-t.com.au/LAT/) and you will realize that the technologies are there for a loudspeaker with a form similar to the lab8000s to far exceed the performance of The Lab9s - way more ideal and seamless polar response from the lowest mids to the top from a single driver basically a better and far cheaper alternative to the ALT lens coupled with lightning speed powerful bass reproduction . 

In fact B&O can charge me double the amount of the Lab9s with a form similar to the Lab8000s if they have those technologies well implemented and included together with their top of the line third generation Ice Amps of course. Trust me the third generation amps are technologically way more superior and better sounding than its predecessors. The high distortions that used to be present in the high frequencies are more than halved and it is now available fully balanced but if they can debut an even higher calibre Icepower module similar to that or surpasses that of the Hypex Ncore or finally deliver a state of the art direct digital amplifier topology like they proposed more than a decade ago then we say B&O is at the forefront of Audio technologies that WORK. 

Be the first and the best! 

I am crossing my fingers on that. I can finally say goodbye to loudspeakers that take up more real estate than necessary. Most affluent people stay in prime districts that are in excess of tens of thousands per SQF so.... 

Is someone going to do something about this troll, and his obvious copy/pasting of marketing material without any critical thoughts of his own?

Reminder.....

The original post asks you to choose one product.

There is no need for endless friction concerning anything else.

Edit

Why dont you keep on topic WonderfulE, or start a separate thread? This thread should be a straight forward product list with reasons for choice.

Please don't dismiss my thoughts without even looking into at them. B&O and several other manufacturer's latest subwoofers are based on push push technology for a reason. LAT might be in limbo but its technological advantages have already be well noted and a part of its topology has already been in widespread use. 

And I know of several people in audio who are busy on perfecting on BMR already. How's flat dispersion off axis from 100hz up to 25khz at 100 degrees and beyond without the need for acoustic lenses or extra drivers not revolutionary? Explain to me. 

I infer that you might not like me and might not be interested in friendly intellectual exchanges but...

Fine, but I still wonder.

Hmm, I wonder what Tue would mention :-)

BEST is a relative word, BEST selling in quantities, revenue, earnings or BEST design (subjective) or BEST performance (kind of subjective).

I think it is difficult to mention just one single product. If I should, then it would be the BV7-55 for the iconic design (not like any other TV's), superb picture and sound quality.

But I could imagine that BV7-55 do not generate that much earnings for B&O.

Beolab 9-wow!

I'm not sure how this relates to the OP? Again it is a rant about what you think of B&O and their speakers. I don't mind you expressing your opinions, but it gets annoying when you keep hijacking threads. Please start a new thread on the topic you wish to discuss...

Can we stay on topic?

The Beolit 12.

I know I will get shot down in flames for this, but having just moved house and only unpacked one rooms B&O equipment, the rest will have to wait till I build an extension and do some work on the house. 

Having the Beolit 12 I am able to have music in which ever room and the sound is better than any other little speakers I have tried. It suits my purpose at the moment wonderfully and come the summer it will be used again in the garden and down on the beach.

Are you the Forum moderator or the thread police or something. That's hilarious. Next what are you going to tell me to do?

I was simply informing the like-minded B&O follower that the technology is there for the Lab8000s to outperform the Lab9s. I like the Lab8000s too so... Excuse me. And were you the one who started the topic? Yeah.... I don't so.. Plus it wasn't remotely that all off topic. And was I ranting? What's the definition of a rant? Jeeze lighten up Jonathan. 

And Jonathan the forum police I was imply trying to sneak in some constructive advice on what the Beolab 8000 replacement should be so hopefully B&O might take notice that people are willing to pay more for the Lab8000s if the performance is better. In my previous post of this thread was I ranting about the Lab8000s?
