Looks like the BL 4000/6000 colors from the late 1990's. Those colors never sold to anyone except the dealers who were forced  by B&O to display them.  People do not want colored speakers. They want invisible speakers.

That might be true about 'people' - but not about 'people, who buy B&O speakers'.

And it might be true about you, it seems.

Yes - thumbs up Agree

David Lewis said : I dream to design an invisible speaker.

One reason why he liked to use polished aluminium like mirrors for loudspeakers.

Totally agree lets sample the poor sods and make some more money out of them!

Was crazy then and still is crazy.

B&O need a new visionary like Mr Lewis, and fast!

I have to say that almost without fail, young or old, trendy or homely, big spender or small spender - 95% of people who want B&O want neutral colours.

However, if you filled a store full of products in silver, grey and white it would look pretty uninviting and quite dull.

Maybe B&O expect to sell little or none of these new colours, but it brightens the place up and at least gives you the option of colours - even if you don't take them up...

Seems that this is the new colors portfolio for BV11 and BL 17 and 20. So bye bye to blue. A shame.

I had blue Beocom 2400 and 6000, blue Beolab 2500, blue Beocord VX 7000, blue Beovision MX, Avant, 10 and 11, blue H6.

The Dream tv, aka AV 9000 was also blue.

Beige BL 17 really ?

Not my cup of tea.  If you are going to have colour, primary colours look better than pastel.

Well the "new" green and bordeaux red are pure David Lewis, just have a look at the 1994/1995 catalog,

Actually, I think B&O has a new star...just not in their design department.

For what the company purports to be, and has been erratic at, it's nice to see Geoff Martin rise to a position of note. All his and his teams' products sound great, IMHO.
