Yep, I agree madslp. They don't really match with the different surfaces

The 6000s do look better on the wall, the 8000s look incomplete IMO

I think the surface on the wall brackets are ugly, why not go for the same surface as the pipe - Chrome.. Not B&O standard..

I think the 6000's look great on the wall, it looks VERY high up though!!

I agree the wall mount takes away from the BL8000 design. The BL6000 looks really good on the wall mount but the BL8000 belongs on the floor!

Ah... ok. Fair enough. They do look magnificent on those bases :-)

I think the 8000s are such an iconic design and make a statement standing in a room on their own. The wall brackets take that away a little IMO. I don't think the wall mounting is horrible, I just don't think it does them justice...

The way the aluminium rises out of the black base sort of makes them look a little more 'magnificent'

Hi guys,

Do you really think it's naff? I think perhaps it's how it's not contrasting with the back wall is the issue (the concrete background).

I think it's a handsome way to display the speaker on the wall.

From a recent thread \/

Beolab 8000

Jonathan — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 19:24:03 GMT

I was in a B&O showroom on Saturday just having a little look around. I was speaking to the salesperson about my Beolab 8000s and she mentioned there are wall brackets for these!

Has anyone seen what they look like? Anyone have a picture?

I'm very curious......
