BeoLab 11 is a must for men as it looks like vagina. Deisgn must have been inspired by this beloved woman organ.

He's right, it does! Now I'm always going to think of that when I see a BL11 - makes me want one even more.

The more I look and read about this, the more it makes me want to get a BL2.  First, I have a 12 y/o boy and how do I explain this explicit speaker!!!  

Seriously though the tech specs aren't impressive.  Only goes down to 33Hz?  Relatively anemic compared to the BL2.  I can see it adding some punch to music and a little bit of boom to movies with my setup but it doesn't sound like it would give that impressive movie experience I'm looking for...

Anyone know the UK RRP?

Beolabia?

Just imagine the folks in Struer happening upon this

The woofers i the BL7.1 are pushed to its limits whereas the BL11 less so. Check on the SPL to see which one has a bigger headroom. A bigger headroom means lower distortion at normal listening levels. High end loudspeakers are about the overall specs which include SPL,distortion, dispersion, response smoothness, power response, impulse response, resonance frequencies etc and not solely on the frequency range specs which seldom gives the whole picture. 

Please, I think that picture was over the edge.

Even if we almost only are men here, I consider BeoWorld to be a family forum. BeoWorld are unique on the Internet with the friendly tone.

You can hint about what you think it looks like, but (in my opinion) not illustrate it,

Fully agree there Daniel. The picture should never been posted. It insults both B&O and our female members.

So... when will it be in the stores?

Don't want to spoil the fun... But I really don't see anything offensive in the BL11 picture... If it's insulting... then I'd rather remove all the BeoCom 1 pics too. We don't have to be more holy then the Pope. 30sec of R'nB music video's on MTV are more offensive then 1 BL11 picture... where as the MTV video's are more freely available...

A picture of BeoCom 2 is not offensive, unless you copy it to the middle part of a naked man, laying down with spreading legs just showing the middle part, and the rectum.

Could have done without the picture, but It is a medical picture - we've all been shown these when we were 14 at school. At that time it made us giggle at most.

We live in a strange world where you can show people killing each other on TV, and that's fine, but a bit of flesh is a shoking. Nothing shocking about the human anatomy.

Going back to the topic, the BeoLab 11 is marketed as BeoLab 2's smaller brother by the specs & the pricing, however, if it is really sold around EUR 1,500, it will come in direct competition with icons like B&W's PV1, that also has an aluminium body, ICE Power amps, but 500 W of them, and 2 woofers that are twice the size of the ones from Struer, with only positive reviews all around the world.

If I were to chose, I'd go for the PV1, in a surround sound setup of course, since the Lab 11 is the only one among both that can be used properly in a stereo setup with other BeoLabs.

First live video I've come across of the Beolab 11

I already picture where it is going to be... a nice brick wall... exacly half way between the left and right speakers...
