All the 90 years celebratory products is in rose gold but BL90 is in grey aluminium. A bit odd. It would be quite cool in rose gold and walnut :).

BeoNut since '75
Michael:I suggested a white version with walnut below. I would appreciate that combination. Add the rose gold and a dark browngrey fret and it's even better
You have hit on one of the problems. The Beolab 90 is labelled as a 90th anniversary product. Does that mean that it will be available for a limited time only? For a high end luxury product there is a lack of appearance customization. I hate that wood color. I would like a choice of maybe carbon fiber, or piano black or white lacquer.

Michael:I think it will stay in production for a long time, and that more speakers in smaller sizes will come later, utilizing some of this technology.

If I don't remember wrong, I read somewhere only 90 will be made. Didnt say if it was 90 pieces or 90 pairs. Anyone else who seen this?

The following excerpt from the above link made me smile... seems to imply that we may see more affordable products using some technologies as soon as next year!!!

Now that they've made the BeoLab 90, where can Bang & Olufsen go from here? "There are so many places we can go!" Marie Schmidt, head of Brand, Design & Marketing, tells CH. "One of the really cool things about doing this, something we've started up some time ago, [is exploring] some of the learnings and technologies that we've achieved in BeoLab 90, and how we can use that in smaller products that are available for more people. We're quite far down that line. Within the next year, you will experience some smaller products that are more accessible."

Seems that nobody can afford these - at the same time everyone also seem to want a lot of different options of the design/colour.
I'd take them as are - if I had the opportunity.
I have been so far out of the loop, I only have the Bang & Olufsen site as my home page so I have been seeing pictures of these glossy beoplay products but not paying much notice. Today I saw the image of the Beolab 90 and I thought "oh whoop dee doo another stupid B&O play speaker"
Oops, how wrong could I be!I just watched the video on youtube showing Geoff Martin presenting to the press, the main three principles behind this speakers function... and I was absolutely floored. This is groundbreaking - quite innovative and unexpected! I am so curious to hear these loudspeakers with my own ears. To me the Beolab 5s sound reproduction is near perfect, so if these speakers are better than the BL5, well I am in dis-belief.Very cool/geeky design too. Looks like Bang & Olufsen have been constructively busy behind the flimsy, gimmicky, unimpressive facade of the B&O Play label, working on their audiophile roots. Bravo!Once I have my pennies saved, I know what i'll be spending them on.Here's the link to the 30 minute talk

@Millemissen, I think is good to dream so now and then, Design in general is often a good conversation starter everywhere, I do agree if I had the opportunity I'd take them also as they are, but it's also interesting to experiment on visual level what could be altered on own personal taste :), for example I find the aluminium grill part on the soundbar of the BeoVision Avant quite distracting in a non positive way, if that was monochrome aluminium or covered with the same loudspeakerfabric as the rest of the speaker would look more in balance I think.
I have made an appointment at the end of november and going to listen to them at the dealer, really curious how they sound.
I might go for these... ;)
Millemissen:Seems that nobody can afford these -
BeoGreg:I can easily afford these. I think I could afford a few pairs.But I would be homeless, divorced and my 15 € prepaid phone won't play any music on them !

The wooden bases would be nice in brushed or polished Aluminium - maybe black carbon fibre..?

Duels:Can you keep the house and mobile phone if you only get one pair?
BeoGreg:Would be totally crazy. It's serious money 70.000 €.I'm allready afraid to take a pair of 18 instead of my 8000 so a pair of 90 : no way !
@BeoBoy68
maybe you could provide a naked version of that picture....
....should be easy with the BL18's ;-))))
BeoBoy68:Why are you afraid to take a pair of BeoLab 18 ?
Millemissen:@BeoBoy68 maybe you could provide a naked version of that picture....
Well, at least it's not another picture of the Devialet wart...

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Who gave permission to use that photo of my wife? Our lawyers have been infomed!
A pity that this interesting discussion on the BL90's has descended into this.
Dave.
BeoBoy68:@ Dave Don't be too serious I found very comic and interesting similarities in design lines between the aluminium frame of the BeoLab 90 and this lingerie.
Hi,
The BeoLab 90 is a permanent addition to the portfolio.
Best,
Nick
elephant:To me there are more similarities here
