I'm pretty happy with my BeoLab 5's. They dont really leave me wanting much more. But that being said I'm considering purchasing a set of BeoLab 9's for the system in my living room. Since I keep reading about all these "between BeoLab 5 and BeoLab 9" rumors I'm holding out to see what (if anything) gets announced.
