I read somewhere that two new speaker models will be launched next year. Have someone heard or read something about it?

Just launched the BeoLab 6002 and 8002... Maybe these are the speakers you heard about.

Nope,

New ones

Possibly the new BeoVox.

Which makes wonder for something. Why do they still continue with Beovoxes? I really love all my old Beosystems and have plenty of passive speakers, but how comes do they continue?

Because its market share that they have given away. Many want B&O but cannot afford it, people are priced right out of the brand. Fast. I know Trip will say something about how you shouldn't make decisions based on price, but the truth is - that is how people shop. Price.

This will give all of those people with non-B&O seperates systems (huge majority of listeners) a chance to get ahold of the brand. ...Ultimately generating revenue for B&O.

I just hope the new pieces aren't new in-wall speakers.

C'mon BeoVox 5!

could be the case!! But will totally agree with you. Please something in floor or table stand. No in-wall speakers!!!! But price wise, I bet you they'll cost as much as a complete NON B&O system!!!!!! Look at the prices of Beovox 1!!!!

In-walls.

Incorrect. Sorry.

I really hope you are kidding about the in-walls. All jazzed for nothing then...

See? Told you.

 

You have to understand, Evman, that referring to B&O customers as "people" was where you went off the rails. B&O customers are not mere people as you and I, but gods who walk among us, money spilling from their pockets, unaffected by the trends and tribulations of the day. So don't be embarrassed at misunderstanding these elusive supermen, many people go their whole lives without so much as glimpsing one.

Trip I have to agree with you, wonderfull wording about B&O "People" and B&O marketing the last years, in DK 1970 when I got my first real salery, as an industrial mecanic, I could  buy a BM 1000, BG 1000, and BVs 1000, for 1 month salery, at that time Danish Kr. 2,200.00. 1999 I went from Mexico to DK and bought a BS 3000 BLs 4000 for some 25,000.00 Danish Kr. exchangerate 5 Kr to 1 USD, not an average salery for new educated mecanic, but a chief tecnician did earn that, today to get a deasant B&O you wil have to invest some 25,000.00 USD, and thats a low estimate, I now have my own business here in Mexico, we do well, but will not even look at the new models, first of all the design, second the price. Evman look and learn 

 

Mr. English,

Evan, nice to meet you.

Don't take me too seriously, I am just having fun. I must spend too much time in regular retail, serving people and not these infrequent gods you describe. My business is very seasonal and very competitive. Price. Price. Price. So much paper wasted on erroneous "sale" signs to lure in the penny pinching public. Newspaper inserts, sign twirlers on the street corners, email reminders, payment plans, reward cards.... its all there. Its a price war. Good, old-fashioned salesmanship is out the window. Extended warranties and miscellaneous income are all the rage now.

Classic...

Back to the base, is there 2 new speakers coming ???

The reason they make in wall Beovoxes is so that there are no electronics so they can be fitted in damp enviroments - like bathrooms.

I have heard there is a new speaker to fit between the 3 and the 9  - maybe this is what is being thought about?

Last time i was in DK, there was much talk of in-wall speakers.  Dolby 7.1 or 9.1 with ceiling speakers overhead and wall speakers beside was something that was being looked at.

Agree with Trip - i think it's 'in wall'..  Custom high end setups need custom high end solutions.

I agree with the mystical customer - that did make me laugh.  If you don't have a local B&O dealer you can find them in Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini showrooms.  The female versions can be found in Jimmy Choo, Mulberry and Dior stores.

I heard it was legal to hunt them, but i'm not sure when the season starts and ends.. 

In wall = yuk

That rang a bell!

True, but I thought there was enough coverage with different mounting solutions. Floor, wall, table stands... Not to mention STB Brackets' product line to fill any gaps (which is officially recognized by B&O).

Eventhough I find B&O speakers very beautiful It seems that not everybody likes to be surrounded by speakers just by sound, for them the in-walls is a must have solution.

I find that for a cleaner look the in-walls for rears are specially well fitted.
