    BeoSound 8 - new colours

    Dear all

    The BeoSound 8 colourways are due to be revamped. The introduction of Red, Orange, Yellow and Silver will be available soon with Black and White remaining in the portfolio. The existing colours will be phased out, phew!

    I am sure Orange will please a certain BeoWorlder!!!

    Regards

    Stuart

    Cheers,

    Hey  w5bno123 thank you very very much for that info! It sounds like Tue is actually listening to us!!! Can't wait to see the new colours. I was'nt keen on last years colours as im definately not a 'pastel colours' guy! Yellow & orange sounds awesome!

    Thank you Evan & Chris too for the cheeky posts :)

    I'm looking forward to new products in the winter who knows maybe a smaller, cheaper BS8???

    B&O have released the press release this morning detailing the new colours which all look great and will give the product a much wider audience. If anyone is interested in the pastel colours give us a shout as we have one of each colour on stock!

    Plus of course you have the dream combination of BV10 with orange speaker grille (the COOLEST most stylish television/art ever) with the BS8!!! 

    Does anybody else think of Mark Rothko's art when they see the BV10 or is it just me?

    The BV10 has also been color-updated : now available with a glossy black aluminum frame, and the red fret appeared.

    Re: BeoSound 8 - new colours

    Unfortunately and strangely, nothing that matches that :

     

     


    Since 1995 : Beosound Century, Beolink 1000, Beocom 2400, Beovision MX 6000, Beocord VX 7000, Beo 4, LC2, Beosound Ouverture, Beolab 2500, Beocom 6000, Beolab 8000, Beosound 9000, Beovision Avant 32, Keyring, Bottle opener, Beosound 2, A8, Beosound 3, Beovision 10-40, Beo 4 Navigation, BeoTime, Beocom 5, Form 2...

    Re: BeoSound 8 - new colours

    Yo BeoGreg that is the iconic blue like the BeoSound 2500 (THE system that got me back into B&O years ago!!!)

    I always wanted that blue years ago for my Century (the Century colours were really boring!).  Im sure next year dude...

    These colour updates are fabulous for us fashion dudes!!! Well done B&O!

    I'm surprised Paul Smith the British iconic fashion designer isn't selling BS8 as he does sell Yamaha micro systems etc!   Now Paul Smith stripes on those BS8 speakers...

    You're right Paul!

    I don't remember where I saw that, but that's exactly Rothko paintings that inspired David Lewis when he designed the BV10.

    That's my love for Rothko that made me decide to choose the orange cover for my BV10, it makes me feel I have a Rothko at home Big Smile

    B&O should have lauched the same color with the new ones.

    Hey BeoGreg i once had a BeoCom 1600 in blue! I loved taht phone but runied the keyboard when i knocked a glass of water over it dam!

    Edouard i've loved Rothko's art for years. That's awesome what you wrote about David Lewis. I always smile when I see his art in movies - Meet Joe Black and Prime (were they talk about Rothko).

    I havnt seen any BS8's in the movie yet mind you I m disappointed that i havnt seen it mentioned in many magazines here in the UK (GQ & Conde Nest Traveller had a little picture but I havnt seen it in any other mags yet - not even The Sunday Times Style has mentioned it yet which is very bizarre).
