    Well.. we've known about this for a little while since we heard the design team singing 'White Christmas' in summer, but we thought i'd leave it until the last minute so you don't have as long to wait in order to find out. Us sheep hate waiting, and we assume you humans are the same!

    Not sure if you already know that BeoLab 6000 and BeoLab 3500 are coming in white? (pictured.. it takes ages to upload from our sheepcam) - however...

    Tomorrow, at the Dealer Conference at the Hotel Martinez, Cannes, France - dealers will be shown a product in the current range that will be produced as a limited edition 'all-white' version.. There will be 1,500 examples/pairs or whatever produced as a numbered and certificated run for the whole world, and once they are gone - no more will be produced.

    I really cannot say what they will be, as we will be lamb-chops if we get rumbled - but dealers will be able to pre-order when they see it/them tomorrow in Cannes. So, if you have your dealers mobile number, i would consider texting him/her with an advance order tomorrow.

    Re: Whiter than us!

    lets hope these white offerings are not all B&O has to offer- they should have scapped the 6000 not paint it white

    Anyone care to guess what the product is?

    White BL5's?

    White 6000s should be very pretty.  I have always found the 6000s one of the prettiest speakers and the sound is much better than many give them credit for. After listening to Beolab 1s, Beolab 4000s, and Beolab 9s for years, a re-arranging of our speakers moved our 6000s from rears to a link room and I was amazed at how good they sounded.  

    Beovision 7-55 with Beolab 7-4, 9s and 4000s

    Beovision 10-40 with Beolab 1s and 6000s

    Beosound 1, 5, 2000, and 3000

    Re: Whiter than us!

    Both speakers look very good in white, but I think it takes time to get used to white B&O...

    Re: Whiter than us!

    No - i think we are misunderstanding the sheep..

    White BL6000 and White BL3500 are going to be released.. fact.

    There is a 'secret' product that will be unveiled tomorrow, that will be made of 1500 pieces worldwide as a special edition.  Personally, i think it may be the BL8000 in white, but i could well be wrong..

    Re: Whiter than us!

    Beolab 5s? Or would 1500 pieces not tally?

    Re: Whiter than us!

    Mmm ... 1500 pair of white BL5 seems a bit too much...

    Re: Whiter than us!

    If  the 'secet' product is a speaker, then I think it will be the BL8000. The BL5 is not selling enough to produce 1500 of a special edition (pairs or units). But why shouldn't it be a BS3 or 6?

    Re: Whiter than us!

    My dealer tells me that white 4000 and 6000 speakers plus 3500 will be available Oct 1.  He did not mention a limited 1500 piece edition product but I would guess the Beosound 9000 since it is rumored to be discontinued in January and this would be a typical B&O way to renew interest in an old product.    

     An old story is that the white CX speakers were created to help use up the rejected aluminum cases.  Something like one in seven were rejected due to flaws in the finish.  By simply painting the rejects they could be turned into sellable products and saved from the waste bin.

     

    The secret sheep are late to the party,  photos of these products were posted here on 8/30.  Down with the sheep.  Lamb chops for everyone.

    The whole post was not about the white products that we already knew about expoman if you read the post carefully - it was about the limited edition 1500 pieces product..

    Re: Whiter than us!

    I agree with Tom about the BL5s, although I suppose this is still possible. My guess would be BL9s seeing as there is a speaker trend going on.

    Re: Whiter than us!

    Hmm... I wonder why there's a white BS9000 in every picture? Hmm

    Or maybe it's 1500 pieces of white CDs Laughing

    Re: Whiter than us!

    I think all of the products would look cool in white, but the the ALT products need to be available white i think, to look more modern and seamless.

    Hmmm....maybe it is a special introductory version of the Beosound 5.  B&O did something similar with the introduction of the Beosound 1.

    Re: Whiter than us!

    But what if black BeoSound 5 looks better than the white one? I mean no customers have seen one in flash, in fact ... How do we know its original colour-range, actually?!

    Re: Whiter than us!

    No I didn't personally, as I was busy answering on steph's and linder's input ... so it's a white BS9000

    And they are several sheep not only one - I always felt suspicious as he/she was using we in self-reference ... using only one BeoWorld member account - they seem to speak with one voice - or save they do those sheep Cool
