Brigantinus:They really look wonderful......, but i don't wanna keep them clean
Beolab 50, Beolab 8000 x 2, Beolab 4000 x 2, BeoSound Core, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century, BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay P2, BeoPlay H9 3rd Gen, BeoPlay H6, EarSet 3i, BeoVision Eclipse Gen 2 55", BeoPlay V1-40, BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)
Maybe the prices even go up - they are both popular speakers.
P.S. I'd like to see a white BL3 with the shiny lens;-)

There is a tv - and there is a BV
so sad... another iconic B&O product fades out...
Probably just to make place for something new ;-)

MM, sounds like you have some interesting info -- care to share some hints?
Yes, given their current 'direction' a 70's style large, wood paneled full of drivers is probably in the works.. Hmm I believe something like that exists.. the Bose 901!
A serious note, this was coming as the last of the David Lewis era are done.
The Beolab 5 will be a massive loss to the lineup
R.I.P. Beolab 5

Any insights whether white will be available?

smile and enjoy the moment

Sad, but I guess the demand had slowed considerably? More surprised about the BL3s if I'm honest as they still look modern and sound amazing.
The BeoLab 5 will be replaced later this year (summer?) with a BeoLab 90 jr. Prices are expected to be BL5+35%.

The BeoLab 3 will not be replaced.

That's interesting!
Any idea of the naming?
BeoLab 50, perhaps??
Same. The BL3 are my fav B&O speakers other than the 18's. I love mine.

BeoLab 18's. Beolab 3's. A8. A9. A2. H7.
Too bad they never made a rose gold option :(
Good, beautiful if also a limited speaker, the Beolab 3. It's weak spot is in classical music reproduction.
It shines in jazz and pop. So all in all a not very all-round speaker.

In the so-called 'midrange'. There was a discussion some years ago, perhaps to be found in the archived forum, where David Moulton himself (designer and inventor of the acoustic lens) also found that the Beolab 3 lacked a bit of 'midrange energy'.
What it actually means is that somehow classical music doesn't have the 'presence' through the 3's as I would like it to have. A certain 'directness' is missing, one of the strong points of the Beolab 3 always was it's 'airiness' and transparency, and to put out a sound way beyond its size. That makes it perfect for pop and jazz; a saxophone played through the 3's sound very life-real. as if the musician is playng right in your living room, however, as said, that is not the case with more subtle classical passages. It's difficult stuff, (psycho)acoustics.
Hi, Carlito,
Possible to post the picture in here again. I can not see the photo in the original website; I want to have a look the final version.
Thanks!
Daniel

Beolab 5 design is still outstanding.

LOL! Nothing like being direct! You really made my morning, thanks!

//EA
Beo in white is my thing
Currently own: BeoVision Avant 55", BeoLab 5, BeoLab 18, BeoRemoteOne, BeoPlay V1-32", BeoRemote4, BeoSound 3200, BeoGram 6500 (MMC-1), BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, LC2, BeoVision MX7000 and BeoLab 3
Or BeoLab 89 ;-)
Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
Chris Townsend:If it's a bi directional speaker, should it be the Beolab 69 Beovision 7-55 Mk2, Avant RF 28, Beolab 9, Beolit 15, Beoplay A1/A2, Beocom 2, Beotime, H3 ANC/H8/H6/H2, Form 2, Beoplay A3, Beovision 5-42 connected to a DVD1
My only concern is that having another speaker in the portfolio with BL's 90 features embedded will decrease the chance of a new Beosystem "5" with room compensation...
Or is it the other way around?
My dealer says they are called the BL45......priced around 30k......no idea what they look like though.......
Hi everyone,
Thinking of pulling the trigger on some Final edition 5's with the polished aluminium and in parisian blue. Would be upgrading from a pair of 20's. Got a good price from someone who bought ex-demo and is now moving on to some 50's. Its been awhile since I heard them, will again before purchase.
Moving from an apartment to a house next year, so will store them for a little if I go ahead. Would really appreciate any opinions on whether this is a good upgrade?
50's out of my price range most likely forever! I heard a rumours there might be 30's at some point. I love my 20's, which were upgraded from 9's, but I must admit there are a bit finicky. I had several problems with getting a static kickback sound when certain songs or tv apps are started. Went from a bluesound to a connection hub to an essence mk2, the latter was the worst offender. Never had this with the 9's, and although the 20's are a much better speaker, the 9's were a little warmer in sound.
Thinking about an oppo (or something else) for an input device with some new cables from sounds heavenly in the uk. Dont own a B&O tv, will buy a new tv when I move but leaning towards loewe. Beyond that I like to keep things wired and I dont use a center speaker.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or input!!
DId they ever make those Beolab 3's? I've seen a few pairs of the Beolab 5 around, but never seen the Beolab 3 Final edition available anywhere.

Another owner who has experienced the BL20's "dark side."
On topic, I haven't seen many BL5 / BL3 final editions around or even posted on these forums as purchases. Good luck!
