StKong: luthier: If Beolab 9's are ordinary penguins, Beolab 50's are Emperor Penguins. The 12-3 on a stand were penguin-like, too. I really think these new BL50's look like Pingu:

Keep them rolling in!
Personally, I like 'Pop Up Speakers' as it kind of says it all, but then 'Batteries' is brilliant...
I'll give it a until Sunday evening, then I'll pool all the suggestions into an email and send them to PrizeDrawBot for judging...

Given the fact the tweeter lens pops up, I kind of like the name "turkey timer."

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
They look like the contours of à French map! So I'd go for the Frenchies!

Gaz calls them the tulips
He said they are like a tulip and the pop up is the stamen in the middle and the lamelas and cloth are the petals
The BeoLab 11 is the 'Tulip' so you can't have that one...
he's going back to the drawing board
He now thinks it looks like the WOMBOK
The Chinese Cabbage :-)
BeoNut since '75
My wife's suggestion is meerkat, as the top pops up out of a hole like a meerkat checking around
hahahaha damn, I was rushing here to give that answer

BeoGreg:Just asked my wife what she thought of the speakers looking at the manchester shop video : "I don't like them, they look like trash cans". Now that's a nickname the trash cans ! I personally like them, but not for my wallet.

I personally like them, but not for my wallet.
See my picture of trashcan above!
My girl friend said they look like "perfume bottles".
After seeing the video, they look like "heaters" to me (with the lamellas)
Thinking a little bit more of this, I now/also see them as old car's "radiator grille"
BeoGreg: Now that's a nickname the trash cans !
I do hope she's not implying you're throwing your money away!
I suppose, though, that if B&O actually did make trash cans, they'd be made of wood and aluminium.
I could just imagine Geoff tuning them so an empty Pepsi can hitting the inside of one gave a flat frequency response so as not to startle wildlife living in or around them... or something. He'd do that. I know it.
Puncher:See my picture of trashcan above! Ban boring signatures!
9 LEE:''Pop Up Speakers' as it kind of says it all
Hmmm, the beam width mechanism and the light are missing here...
If you imagine it's an eye, eyelid going up or down, pupil opening and closing, and you blend this with the pop-up tweeter, it becomes... "Pop-Eye" ! (the sailor man )
Good evening,
I found something more respectful than a trash can that looks like the Beolab 50: the three sided bottle of the "Dimple Pinch" scotch whiskey.

a macabre inappropriate sick-joke approach:
BL90 - "fat man"
BL50 - "little boy"
The wide acoustic lens makes them look like overgrown hip flasks.

Oh look it's The Bl 50 Salt & Pepper pots....
How about Moai, from Easter Island
Bv7Mk3: Oh look it's The Bl 50 Salt & Pepper pots....
Was (one of) my thoughts, too.
I even found a very nice picture to post.
But - alas - I gave up posting after 10 + unsuccessfull attempts ;-(

There is a tv - and there is a BV
What has happened with this competition?
It did what threads do... drifted off into obscurity whilst I was giving everyone a chance to read it!
Winner will be announced this afternoon, or evening at the latest. All suggestions have been forwarded to our remote button-pushing metal bon viveur 'Botty' for his circuits to beep over.
By the way - in Denmark they are called 'skønheden og udyret' (the Beauty and the Beast),
because they are beautiful, when just standing there....and quite beasty, when they are turned on to play.
Hey Bro
My BS35 is chomping at the bit
to hear your beep
Can ya feel the heat?
Hey Botty
My BS35 no longer has a single valid tooth...
