Maybe the speaker is not as tall as the BeoLab 8000.
More the height of a BeoLab 5 ?
I am thinking more the size of the BL4000 so that you can either put it on a floor stand or on a shelf .... I am thinking in between BL3 and BL9 ....
Steph: Maybe the speaker is not as tall as the BeoLab 8000. More the height of a BeoLab 5 ?
I've been told that the height is the same.
Lots of high end speakers are tall, so, why not ?
Very curious about the "stiletto" shape...
I wonder if you get a special tool to keep the wood clean and free of cobwebs! Using beeswax could take some time!!

May be simpler to train the Bees to do it themselves!
While I'm sure they will be pretty (with my proviso about the lens) I wonder if they will be as universally visually "placeable" (or maybe hideable is a better word) as the standard 8000's and therefore have a more limited scope?
That said, I'm sure there are lots of interiors in which they'll look very good indeed and I would anticipate initial sales being very positive.
Ban boring signatures!

Yes, maybe not as "universal" than the BeoLab 8000, more "avantgardist".
Tomorrow is the day !
Pictures so far look good and as already been posted tomorrow is the day the 15th :-) can't wate
like everyone else
Maybe just Maybe B+O will have some new toys to buy
Then clearly B&O have been monitoring the Vintage thread and have designed a new speaker just for us !
BeoNut since '75
I have to confess that I do rather like the look of them. Luckily I don't actually need anything these days!!
Concerning the new BeoLab 8000 - the minimalist shape of the acoustic enclosure is spoiled by the big wooden grid; a special loudspeaker ! The new BeoLab 4000 with the subwoofer look modern, minimalist: Very nice design ! :-)

I really like the wooden grid! The only small concern I have is the really shiny silver ALT on top.
At this rate, I can see myself buying a set of these new speakers (fronts and rears) and the new sub! Roll on today. This could prove to be an expensive launch for me.
I just hope that they will be versatile and captivating, even though there is a MINUS sign on the website....
The new speakers seem to be iconic only...

You press "Minus" to get "More" details! I am surprised you didn't get the logic!
I have to say I noticed that little glitch. It should be the other way around...
Beoworld app with direct photo upload and emoticons.
Is it just the new McCartney album launched today, or should be see the new speakers as well??
I can see "The Shard" building from where I work... I wonder if I should by some binoculars ;-)
Nothing on the new products on their webpage yet?
Too long to list....
Just poor a cup of tea - sit down and wait 25 minutes!

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Grrr! MM
imac: McCartney... could B&O have picked anyone more out of date?
I don't want to be mean, but you are right.
Trying to get hip with the youngsters I presume. LOL
The first picture looks promising... Are these 3 separate speakers???
Could the first one even be a new Beolab 5 killer??? "Redefining an icon" !
Always getting personal....
bayerische:Are these 3 separate speakers???
Yes!

Redefined BL8000.
imac: Always getting personal....
Well one joke follows the other...
Why not wait and see?
And look out for the Album / CD / recods / i-tunes / MP3 etc. sales of his Album!Ralf
You could have avoided that

+1, wood looks interesting, while brushed aluminium would probably be more classy, less bling-bling.

They could have asked John Mayer and recorded the show directly at the Farm in Struer.
He`s playing anyway tonight just about 30 miles away....and I will be there...:-)
BTW: not too sure about the "new 8003"...

A sneak peek from the interview before the official pics
OMG the wooden thing... I hope they'll offer a version without the wood grille.
... and as we can see on the pic, they are completely wireless
My thoughts exactly. ;)

*just joking*
Karel,
Are you ready to swap your old BeoLab 8000 for the new ?
Steph: Karel, Are you ready to swap your old BeoLab 8000 for the new ?
Have to see & hear them in real life first.What interests me more the the new wireless transmitters/receivers! Finally be able to have a descent surround system. I wasn't able to connect back speakers to my BeoVision.
Karel.
