Listen the new BeoLab 20 !

Amazing Loudspeaker for BL 5's half price.  

Very elegant and compact, the BLs 20 are simplier to live with WISA.

Let's buy them ! They are available.

I still think that the Beolab 5 sound much better in mid-range than the Beolab 20.

Also, I am not a big fan of the penguin design...

From what my dealer told me, the current WISA standard would not work with the Beolab 5. The Beolab 5's needs an extra channel in order to communicate with each other.

Do they currently communicate with each other??? I don't think.

I love the Emperor Penguin design, I think they look like nuns in habits.

Can't wait to see what a BL5 successor will look like, and wondering then also if there will be a BL3 successor.  maybe a little penguin, so a mix between BL4 and BL3 :-)  That I would really like.

Then we would have a complete 'Beoquinn' family 🙂MM

that was "news" for me too ... although I could imagine to calibrate a stereo field might need such an approach

The new Avant has a microphone entry for calibration... that doesn't mean you leave the mike connected all the time.

Some for speakers, they might provide a cable you connect only during calibration, if that's really needed and then you're done.

I cannot imagine that the BL5 successors won't be WISA.

I have attended all dealer meetings, the most recent being in Brussels in March and can confirm that there are no plans to replace the BeoLab 5....

PM me if looking for a pair in the UK!
