Hi,

just popped into one of the stores in Hong Kong to see if they had any H6 headphones, which they did not.

Was listening to the beolab 14, for the size it sounded fantastic. It got me thinking would I swap this for my BL80000 fronts and BL6000 rears, I don't have a sub yet was looking at getting one when I get an extension built. But for near the price of aBL2 or 11 I could buy a nice 5.1 system (think my wife would prefer the smaller speakers)

Any one brought the BL 14 or swaped it from their older speakers? 

Regards

Toby

Don`t even think about it,you already have the far superior speakers.

I even have the 6000s as front speakers and just added two Lab 14s as rear.

Maybe it was the sub that made you think Lab 14 sounded better than your setup?The Lab 11 would suit you well I think,and I guess it is not as pricy as the whole Lab 14 system.

Too bad you couldn`t grab the H6,I love them,especially for travel.

Regards,

Jens

Thinking about realised it may have been the addition of the sub which I am missing, plus they looked shiney and new in the shop. Will wait to see what new sub B&O bring out.

So how many members of this site have actually gone out and purchased the new beolab 14? Or are we all sticking with our older speakers?
