No, you can't win a pair, so don't get too excited..
However, you can win a finely crafted and laser engraved BeoLab 35 end-cap, signed by the man who is what did the sound tweakage on the new BeoLab 50... Mr Geoff Martin !!!
I had the pleasure of sitting next to Geoff for Dinner at the launch of the BeoLab 50 and Shape, and each one of us were presented with one of these, personally engraved.
I joked that Geoff should sign his and we'd offer it as a prize on BeoWorld, then carried on shovelling in my main course.
Lo and behold - it arrived a few weeks later, signed and back in its little carry bag!
So here's the competition. The winner gets it...
______________________
As a bit of fun, we need to give the BeoLab 50 a 'pet name'... My customers seem to make names up for them, and freakishly they all seem to come up with the same ones independently of each other!
The BeoLab 5's they call 'Daleks'...
The BeoLab 9 : "Penguins"
BeoLab 2 : "Divers Helmet"
BeoLab 3 : "Mini Divers Helmet"
BeoLab 4 : "Pyramids"
BeoLab 6000 : "Columns"
BeoLab 8000 : "Church Organ Pipes"
and so on....
So : you've seen the images. Question : How would you describe them?
Best answer wins the prize!
Beolab 50 : skumtomtar
Beolab 50: Gort or Lighthouse
The directional flat acoustic lens, to me, it its most distinguishing feature
Matryoshka
It's a giant battery......
That could be a winner!

I would call the BL90's son... "Junior"
Or because of the pop-up tweeter, "Beam me up, Scotty"
Or "Wankelitto", due to its shape seen from above (Wankel engine)
"Augustus" may also work... (poise and standing, like the roman emperor's statue, and month of launch)
Rick74:Matryoshka
Shaun. :There’s a surprise inside.
Clever idea !
"Pandora" may be an alternative
Or "Jack-in-the-box"
But considering the size of the drum, you expect something bigger to leap up
Sal:Lighthouse
Duels:It's a giant battery......
If Beolab 9's are ordinary penguins, Beolab 50's are Emperor Penguins.
luthier:If Beolab 9's are ordinary penguins, Beolab 50's are Emperor Penguins.
The Neuralyzer from Men in Black.
If you could get one with a black front and one with a white, we could call them 'Salt & Pebber'.
Weebles wobble.......
Anyone remember the blow up clowns that you couldn't turn over? Minus the hair of course...
I was think a kinder surprise egg, a suppsrise rising from each egg!
Cylon egg.
Jeff
I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
The Bomb
BeoGreg:I think it's to early to tell a nickname of a speaker that is not launch yet.
Maybe you are right!
Darth Wader certainly wasn't what came into my mind, when I saw and heard them - neither was 'the bomb'....

I think everyone is going to end up calling them the "pop-up" speakers.
BenSA:I think everyone is going to end up calling them the "pop-up" speakers.
"The Lift" (or "The Elevator") is also appropriate
Hi 9Lee
BeoLab 35 end-cap rests on stockings :) ? .. sexy :) :)
StKong:The 12-3 on a stand were penguin-like, too. I really think these new BL50's look like Pingu:
