Hi

I love the Beolab 1. I have them in red.

I don't see anything that can replace the look, feel and sound of these bad boys.

They have moved around the house a few times and now stay permanent in my bedroom.

Anyone else have these? Put some pics up...

I'm looking for more... chrome blue... chrome and cream... black... anyone selling?...

Regards

Sadly I've never had the opportunity to hear a pair, as when they were in production there was no B&O dealer near me. I've always found pictures of the "red" Beolab 1s interesting, it's an odd shade of red, kind of a muted wine color rather than what I first thought of as red when I read about the color being offered. They are a striking looking speaker, elegant and modern and minimalist.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus. Sad

Beovirus victim, it's gotten to be too much to list!

Yes Jeff you are right.

They are more maroon / burgundy with a chrome effect.

All colours have a very shiny solid chrome. I love the blue ones.

I have paired mine with a Beolab 2 in my bedroom.

The bass is phenomenal.

Hello Razlaw

The system also includes a BV7-55 with BL20s in another room. The BV7-55 is the master. Thus if I spin the wheel on the Beosound 5 it turns the 20s on and adjusts their volume. The Essence remote adjusts the volume of the BL1s. Also can be used as a simple on/off remote.

Finally, I had a hole in the wall where an old Beolink Active Kit eye had been located and needed to fill the hole. LOL

Razlaw, you smashed the red setup 💪🏻🔥

I like the BS5 with the BS3200. ML playing NL is the way to go in my head with B&O. The era of sexy B&O has gone...

I'm trying to do BS5 with the BS9000 once my house gets wired up.

Nice scene 👍🏻

Kiran & Razlaw

Extremely nice setup with the bordeaux red BL1, congratulations!

I will post some pictures but first will be moving house during February and will place an overall 6 BL1 at the new place...4 in black, 2 in silver. 

re 750 £ for a pair - looks like a smashing price.
