Beolab 50 - I hate it! (But read beyond the header)

[Analogous]

I have not heard this speaker
I just watched a review (link below)
The reviewer is skilled and articulate and B&O has an envious legacy and unapologetically caters to the wealthy.
But the speaker looks beautiful, has some audacious innovations in design, and the stated performance measures leave nothing to complain about.
This is another example of how exceptionally complex and well designed devices tend towards simplicity in visual aesthetic.
The way the tweeter assembly rises and moves…..customisable sound stage!!!
I hate it that I can not have one and listen to it in my home.

The speakers look so stunning and majestic. Am sure must be sounding great.

It is at demo at the Den in Worli. So is the Beolab 90.

While many people keep contesting that at the retail price (above 50 lakhs) they can build a system far more advanced etc etc, I have always believed that active systems truly free you from the gear rat race. Regarding how its sounds, sublime. The way its DSP handles room is beyond my comprehension (such a single press on the app). It is every bit fantastic as the best of the system I have heard.

At home, I have a single Beolab A9 5th Gen. Same feeling as above. There is something about these actives.
