Beolab 90
Was walking through the merchant city in Glasgow the other day and had a wee shuftie in the B&O shop window. The stuff looks marvellous aesthetically so went in for a closer look. Got chatting with the manager who was very pleasant and knowledgeable.
I spied some really unusual speakers in their listening room-a sort of big oragami looking futuristic electrostatic and asked if I could have a wee shuftie!
Really unusual design, like a piece of art-nice alloy/castings/wood/unusual shapes. Manager asked if I would like to hear them- rude not to really.
Tidal streaming/John Martyn-Heaven and earth/Willing to work. Room heavily treated with acoustic panels /soft furnishings/carpet.
They are active so plug and play with a digital source-sounded very good indeed, frequency extremes were a bit more than Im used to with 57S and it takes me a wee while to dial back into conventional drivers.
Manager demonstrated some function that makes them omni directional for dinner parties-sound stage collapsed but returned pin sharp when he switched back.
Not blown away but impressed-asked the question, how much mister?
84K!!!!

I'll get a listen to them the next time I'm over at yours mate . Remember the cinammon buns .:D
-
Not an electrostatic Tony. I would love to have a go on them though.
You must look wealthy if he quoted you £84K they are practically giving them away on line - http://www.bomerchantcity.co.uk/product/beolab-90-2/

They are a bit posher than that-I reckon wee cocktail sausage rolls/ cocktail sticks with pineapple and cheese.
You would be required to eat them with a pinkie sticking out/ignoring the crumbs falling into yer cravat.
Pure class none of yer cheap pish cocktail sausages.
Next cocktail party Im having .....

I looked like a guy that should have a cup in my hand....
-
Crackin design, copied it (as much as I could) for a packaging design project I did at work.
Need to take a butchers next time Im in Glasgow, see em in the flesh!
-
Design was outstanding-real art installation feel to them. Finnish was exemplary. Reckon Lou would prefer them to the 57S.....
-
The price though...that's a lotta handbags n shoes!
-
Not enough drive units are used. For that sum I would expect at least double the number! :D
I'll stick with my '57s.
