[quote user="Stars"] Lee, you have placed the sound in between BL6000 and BL8000, but how does it really compare with a BeoSound 1 (or even BeoSound Century) ... a much more attractive product too in my opinion? And in response to your question about alternative designs ... I was convinced (and hoping) BeoLab 11 was B&O's first iPod

The BeoVision 3 was a 'budget' (and i use that term loosely!) version of the BeoVision Avant. Same tube and chassis, but without the big speakers/ inbuilt DVD/VCR/ rotating stand. The Avant had the rear connections exposed, and i'd imagine the designers of the BV3 at the time didn't give rear covers much thought. It was only the BV6

[quote user="Beofan2"] This Youtube video presents BS8 in english. It´s from the presentation in Copenhagen.

[quote user="AdamS"] You see, I have just studied this brand new piece of B&O equipment from every angle and the only comment I can come up with is "That is hideous". [/quote] Hey - it's dividing opinion, which is what original designs are all about. To be fair to B&O, the poor designer is between a rock and a hard place

No other 'tech journalist' bothered to casually rip off the fret to see what was underneath, so i duly obliged after they had all gone home. Bass drivers bigger than BeoLab 4000 - probably a similar size to BeoLab 3 drivers from memory (i'm at home now staring at my BeoLab 3's...) That tweeter must be a new one, unique to the BeoSound

Inside of the rear cover. Note the 'service' connector..

The connections at the rear... You need to remove the plastic cover to get to them of course - they aren't on display.

'arty close-up' - total amateur, admitted..

'Rear of the Year' ? Probably not. Doesn't look that bad though...
