    BeoLab 9 - Chocolate Brown

    Just thought i'd share this - but the image hasn't come out as well as hoped!

    Just had my BeoLab 9's re-covered in Chocolate Brown to match my new Natuzzi Sofa at home.  I'm thrilled with the results !!

    They look great, Lee. I'm actually a bit surprised B&O has never had a brown in the rotation. With all the wood & leather tones it would compliment it seems more natural than some of the more "exotic" colors we've had over the years. 

    And the best part is you'll be able to get another color pretty soon when that Natuzzi falls apart!

    Great looking speakers Lee, but as a one time owner of a Natuzzi suite I couldn't help but see Trip's viewpoint! (In our case one chair slowly changed colour from the rest of the suite!) (Is there a Sofaworld forum?????)

    They look beautiful. I enjoy very much seeing people customize the colors on B and O. I just changed the color on our BV 10 as I did not want any of the available colors.

    Anoher great idea Lee! You seem to be a great customizer of your speakers, first an all-white pair of BL8000s and now these. I was sad to see you had parted with your first creation not too long ago. Sad

    Re: BeoLab 9 - Chocolate Brown

    A better shot of them 'in situ' with natural daylight.  I'm getting a Chocolate Brown cover done for my BV10 to match this week.

    I do like customising things.  I like to be the same but a little bit different if you know what i mean.  I drive a Black car.. with a bright Red leather interior.. which i love - and some people hate!

    Anyway - here's a BL9 in Cadbury's Brown.

    Looks really nice Lee!  Is that the larger sized BV10? Would be nice with a pic of the complete setup in the room.

    Re: BeoLab 9 - Chocolate Brown

    Sounds like a new "FLASH YOUR B&O" coming up!!!! This is quite an impressive result. so Lee, maybe consider changing to Custom tailored B&O ?!

    Best regards

    I like !!  Yes -  thumbs up

    You could also pop off the glass doors of the 3000, unclip the black side panels - and have them vinyl wrapped in Burgundy to match.  The glass doors have a green tint, so it wouldn't be an exact match - but you'd get the idea..  I did the same for my Daughters room, and i did them in Pink!

    What are we like! Laughing

    hi there lee the speakers and the fret on the bv10 46 looks amazing so much so it you could believe that it came from b&0 themselves.

    brilliant.

    It's as fake as Pammy Andersons top lady bits, and it's 6 foot.  Our lounge isn't actually that big!

    Re: BeoLab 9 - Chocolate Brown

    Thought this might be a good place to post this question: Is it possible to change the color on Beolab 5s from black or white to another color? If so, is there anybody who does that?

    Thanks!
