After 13 Years of faithful, reliable, effortless service, my Beolab 5's have finally gone!
They never scored well with the Wife and she told me to replace them with something more acceptable.
I shall miss them greatly and hopefully, they will be given a good home with their new Owner.
My condoleance!
Whats next? .....BL90

Yes, BL18!!!
.......I told her these would be more acceptable.
She agreed!

Really? I'd say they were photoshopped - but there's a shadow

smile and enjoy the moment
At least the 5s sounded good.

I would call that going from being Mr 10Percent to being Mr 100Percent ;-)

Very, very well done - I'm genuinely 100% delighted for you!!
I'm sure you've worked very hard for them, or to be in the position to afford them - and I wish you all the very best with them. They're amazing speakers - and one day I'll own a pair too. One day.
I'm afraid that by sticking your head above the parapet and owning these you are now our 'poster boy' and will be expected to give extensive reviews.

Hahahah NO WAY!!! They look truly horrible. Evil even. I take it that you're joking?
Life is there to enjoy, make the most of it. They are big compared to the 5's!
Paul W: Hahahah NO WAY!!! They look truly horrible. Evil even. I take it that you're joking?
Totally agree. Out of proportion, overkill. They're designed for living rooms with high ceilings you could land a plane in.
WOW! Congratulations, Mr 10Percent!
Nothing spells dedication as pair of these. And compared to replacing the wife, the BeoLab 90's are a bargain... did you take advantage of the BL5 trade in offer launched by B&O last week (trade in your BL5's and you will get a discount similar to what you initially paid for your 5's)?
What is your initial impression - going from the 5's to these?

Wow yeah!
congratulations on the purchase. That's a serious commitment to a B&O way of life. Visually a very active presence in the room compared to the BL5. The 5s are quite striking but in a passive aggressive way. I hope your house is detached!

Hello Mr10%
Big congrats to your new BL90!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, personally I like them a lot.
I listened and saw them in the Copenhagen flagship store in their relativly small / cozy listening room.
It struck me that they are much smaller / less massive in real live and blend in very well.
It is an outstanding speaker and also to be seen and noticed, obviously. Enjoy them. We'll envy you, at least I will.
wow wow wow and wow......
we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
Amazing! I'm truly happy for you! Way to go!
WHAT THE FUUU...!
When's the party?!
I think you may very well trump everyone if you post your pics in Flash Your B&O
Speechless. Congratulations!

Still waiting for the photoshop confession. I can do shadows too!
Simonbeo: Still waiting for the photoshop confession. I can do shadows too!
I confess I cannot do Photoshop at all - especially shadows
I confess I want to swap out my bl5 for a pair of bl90 too. But i cant afford them and they would not fit the room. But im happy for you and would like to hear your opinion when you lived with the bl90 a few weeks.
Good idea Leo!!!!!!!

Aesthetics
Sound quality
Price:performance ratio
What you love about your new arrival and what could be better...?
We'd love to hear more!
