For those who seek a different type of speaker, based on revolutionary new technical concepts and state of the art design, go to a B&O dealer and take your time to listen to these organ pipes. Certainly the amount of money that B&O asks for these speakers is rather high, but it took the Danish company over 8 years to develop the new techniques that made it possible to built-in two high quality amplifiers into each loudspeaker.

So you are actually not only purchasing two loudspeakers, but four amplifiers as well. The performance of this loudspeaker is amazing, especially when you take the size of the unit into consideration. The sound is crisp and clear and there is no distortion at high sound levels. For me, the bass is strong enough, but if you want "club bass power", you can add the 850 watt Beolab 2 subwoofer to these loudspeakers.

The Beolab 8000 can easily compete with much larger and often a lot less attractive looking loudspeaker units. The surface is made out of polished aluminum, which reflects the color of your interior. This feature, combined with the timeless design, makes it very easy to blend the Beolab 8000 into every interior type and style.

The loudspeaker was designed by David Lewis, an award winning Danish designer and are also part of the permanent collection at the New York Museum of Modern Arts.So you'll be buying art as well. I'll admit to the fact that the purchase will financially drain you, but you'll have a lot of pure listening and design enjoyment for the years to come.
