I just came across someone, offering me a โBeoLab 8000 acoustic lens upgradeโ.
It is offered as a set of two acoustic lenses, including a cover plate (for the โoldโ tweeter position). The kit is offered in two choices:
- โฌ125 for untreated plastic version
- โฌ200 for chromed version
I didnโt know it existed, and it made me wonder โฆ
- Could this be the acoustic lens if the BeoLab 3 or 18 as a replacement part?
- Anyone with experience building an acoustic lens on the BeoLab 8000?

Favourite Product: BeoSound 900011 June 2022 at 17:20 #35428GOLD MemberThere was โ as I recall โ a thread about something like that on the old forum.
However, I can not imagine how the speakers i.e. the sound should benefit from placing an โacoustic lensโ on the topโฆ..unless the speaker would be new tuned etc for this โ which probably noone can do apart from the guys in the Acoustic Department in Struer.
If you like the looks of an acoustic lens on these old speaker (it seems that the โlensโ is all that is offered) go for it.
Not my cup of tea and a bit expensive IMHO.

They came after a search for wooden frets for 8000โs โ same kind of mod to me :BL18 look alike.If I recall well they were available for BL6000 too.
As Millemissen, I wonder how they can actually โupgradeโ the 8000โs sound, but as lot of people as them for the style only part of me can understand.
I aslo find 8000โs with wooden grills but without ALT looks weird and unbalanced: that may be an answer for this, without altering the sound of 8000 by ot moving the actual tweeter.
