BeoLab 9s and 5s all deserve as many stars as can be given, they're all first class speakers, maybe even BeoLab 3s. B&O needs to rethink their plans if they're going to be releasing more speakers like the BeoLab 4s though. For £900, you can get a much, MUCH better sound! My £250 active studio monitors sound MILES better. They're great for (very pricey, but stylish and functional) computer speakers, but B&O really needs to stop marketing BeoLab 4s and similar as 'hifi speakers', because that's something they simply aren't. Audiophiles are seeing B&O marketing a pair of mid-range active HIFI speakers, and conseqeuntly being INCREDIBLY disappointed.
It's moves like this that really damage B&O's reputation IMO. Market them as computer speakers or rear speakers in a small surround sound setup, and overall they'd be far better off. Would probably boost sales of BeoLab 4000s as well, helping to persuade people to move up to the next level in the range.
