I have a pair of Beolab 9s that are currently blue. After looking at 5s for years, I am about ready to get a pair. The 9s will become rears. I will need to change the color of the 9s as the 5s do not come in blue. I like the looks of white 5s and 9s but know their are issues in bright light of seeing through the cloth and dirt. (9s in bathtub thread for instance)Just wondering what those who have white 5s/9s think of them.

White Beolab 5s/9s

I have black 5's at home. One of them has a small nick in the fabric from hitting something maybe during moving. I personally would stick with black. It hides a lot, also I have seen the white ones in the store and don't like that you can see through where the speakers are.
It's not that I don't like the white, I just think it's a long term investment and black makes more sense.
(maybe you could add a pic of the room, so others could help you decide)
Thanks! I have seen the 9s in the store in white but not the 5s. I guess the same problem the 9s have seeing through is also present in the 5s. I wish that were not the case as I really like the white.
PS....I would post a picture of the room but am in the process of redecorating it so current colors and location of my 9s are different than will be with the 5s.
Why don't you get someone to change the colour of the cloth to match the BeoLab 9 blue. I notice you are in the states but there are quite a few people over here in the UK who change colours of B&O fabrics. I had a BeoVision 10-46 fret changed for a client to match the green on his old BeoLab 6000's and 4000's and they absolutely loved it.

Good idea.
Also, just found this company. If you really like white, try it.
White in anything B&O looks the most elegant and sexy. That's my opinion anyway for the day!!
I have heard there are companies who might do that but have not been able to find them.Why don't you get someone to change the colour of the cloth to match the BeoLab 9 blue.

I'm beginning to wonder what white would look like on mine at home, I have dark timber floors. Would be a nice contrast.
