No idea on the new Beolabs, but some hints on which existing Beolabs might be phased out.

Could you be a little more specific about what you have heard about those 'new Beolab 8000'?

Will it be BL 8003, BL 8002 mk II Huh? - or succesors to the 8000 series with a different design..? Confused

So 8002 will be gone and replaced by something  totally new? New design or new electronic parts, ALT maybe?

Will these sit above or below the beolab 9? I'm thinking of getting a pair and I don't want to buy some and in a few weeks they get superseded

8k replacement will be much different.

Still has the stiletto look though.

ALT on top

I think end of the year is reasonable for an expectation.

Don't forget one thing : when B & O says october, it means between may and august the year after.

Let's see if there is something new in the products launch and delivery.

Dates are more likely screwed up when a poster passes on rumors he got from a person who signed a non-disclosure agreement. Why believe someone who lacks ethics?

Contracts aside, releasing a bit of material or even rumours might actually do them some good.

They are launching speakers, not the Space Shuttle for goodness sake. Does this privacy thing spring from some hugely successful strategy that makes B&O huge profits? Virtually no other big company I can think of, doesn't release some teasers.

Isn't a(n anticipated) launch date a teaser in itself? Many people seem well teased. I'm sure we'll see a few more "does anybody know" and "I was told" threads before the endless three weeks are over.

I spent the whole day today working with a bit of an audiophile who is about to set up a theatre room. He has his finger firmly on the pulse of whats coming out in the tech market, and he has not the first clue about most of the B&O range, let alone whats about to launch.

I took him along to the Beolab 14 launch and he was impressed. That was the last time B&O crossed his mind. This secret launch thing just doesn't work. Get some cool adverts out and then there might be more people at said launches.

It's a business, owned by shareholders who make the rules, smart or dumb.  

Maybe I am naive, but I cannot come up with a scenario where any company tolerates outsiders freely disseminating confidential product info.  Apple actually had private cops hold a person hostage years ago, and elites at BeoWorld stated they were not at liberty to reveal specifics they learned at a private showing a while back.  Nobody even challenged that.

But, to your point, it probably doesn't matter.

Soooo... people want speakers without wires? Ok.. cool... and how are they going to be powered? Batteries?

 

Anyway...  Looking forward in seeing the siblings of the BL8000 & 6000.. At first I thought that the BL12 range was the replacement...

I think one day, batteries could be the solution. I don't know if you saw what phillips did for home cinema.

I dream of an hifi system with great active speakers to listen to music with two detechable speakers to watch movies (same system than Phillips but with sound improvement).

I think it is possible to have surround speakers working on batteries. for me, cable are not a problem for an hifi system but for home cinema, batteries could be the solution....

Just an idea ;)
