Given the humid and hot weather here. My B&O casing black finish is turning tacky again. It happened to my beocenter 2, Beolab 3 (grey casing, replaced by white), Beolab 2 (speakers replaced), Beolab 10 and even my beo-phone dome charging base.

I have always love the design of B&O and have always want a Beolab 5. However, given the degrading of the environmental finish, I have the feeling that the neck portion of the lab 5 will have the same issue. But how about Beolab 9? It seems to me there is no such finishing on the Beolab 9.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

I have read about occasions when the rubbery finish have turned “sticky”. Happened to my Beocom 2 base also. But another base I have still looks fine. No problem with my BL3s.

Sorry my mistake, I was asking for the Beolab 9. My lab 3 grey casing turn tacky too, but am ok now after I changed them to a white case. The speaker cover are all fine with my lab 3, but not with lab 2 : (
