It's really hard to find a review online in English or someone who has reviewed these speaker in depth.

Searching online will not reveal too much as very few have uploaded their sets. 

There is one review on Youtube which doesn't tell anything useful and the reset are nothing related.

I can find a lot of BL5 , BL9, BL18 heck even BL90s reviews online  but the BL20s aren't relatively that new.

I didn't think they were unpopular! Just because there aren't any reviews just suggest they are unpopular. they are an excellent speaker following on from the 9s and between the 5s. I hear many say that they couldn't note too much of a difference between the 20s and the 5s so they are a pretty impressive speaker. Go have a listen at your local dealer and I guess go from there. I was very impressed by them but having a pair of 9s which I was very happy with at the time I didn't see a need to change personally.

B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.
11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.

Hello,

Though I can not speak for other dealers, I can say the BeoLab 20 is the third most popular Loudspeaker set that we sell here in Seattle.  Our clients seem to be very happy with BeoLab 20.  The only reason these do not sell as well as the more popular BeoLab 18 or BeoLab 17 Loudspeakers is the price point.  At $14,500 USD they are significantly more of an investment then that of the $8,630 starting point of BeoLab 18 or the $4,990 starting point for BeoLab 17.  From a sound perspective, these are a more natural warmer sounding speaker then that of the more dynamic and punchy BeoLab 18's.  The audiophile crowd seems to enjoy BeoLab 20 quite a bit more, due to the sound characteristics.  I hope this helps.

Ryan
