Thanks! Very interesting. The stands have been on the B and O web page for a few days now, in pictures, but nothing actually said about them.

So am I right in saying it has a fabric front? Therefore no acoustic lens. 8300 kr=Β£900?

Whilst I'm here can anyone remind if the the 12-3/2 price please.

Yes, the Lab 12-1 has fabric and no ALT.  And it is correct that 8.300 DKK is about 900£ Smile

 

Prices in the BeoLab 12 series:

BeoLab 12-3 16.295 DKK

BeoLab 12-2 10.995 DKK

BeoLab 12-1 8.295 DKK

 

Best regards,

Frederik

On the picture of the press release, is the BL12-1 the one with the silver/light grey cover on the floor stands ?

Strange look without the alt...

Just saw the BL 12-1s at a dealer with white fret. They looked a LOT better in person than in the pictures. I think they would serve as excellent surround speakers

@Ratzlaw "Thanks! Very interesting. The stands have been on the B and O web page for a few days now, in pictures, but nothing actually said about them."

In fact the stands were for several months on one picture on the homepage - long time before they were announced official.

I have seen them several times in Denmark and in Germany as well.

Looking nice - but before judging the sound one should hear them at home.

There is a tv - and there is a BV

I heard them next to the 4000's and they were noticeably better in most respects.

They look better in the flesh, and even then sound better than they look.

The BeoLab 12.1 is better than oldy 4000 but shame that the front is not in aluminium. For the price and sound quality, the 12.2 sounds better in performance and alu-aesthetic is great. BeoLab 12.3 performs in bass but the price is too high like ever with Bang & Olufsen. These speakers are not made in Denmark but in Czech Republic. 😜

Tonker:

Agreed with everything you said. Beovision 10-46, Beovision 8-26, Beosound 8, Beocom 2, Beotime and a shed load of A8's and Form 2's. Oh and a load of Beo4 and a gathering dust 6.

Yes I agree for an extra Β£700 for some alu and alt is actually good value

Regards
