Outrageous looking and sounding speakers from legendary maker B&O! Don't be fooled, these can produce a detailed yet thunderous sound capable of filling large rooms. They are powered with thousands of watts via built-in class D amplifiers. Great video review from Sounds Heavenly (Checkout the 11:30 min mark for connection options. These are powered so they can be connected directly to your TV or source without the need for any other equipment): Attention to Detail - How we build the Beolab 5 - Bang & Olufsen: Carefully and throughly tested in our listening room and working as they should. The grills have some fading toward the back side from sun exposure, but it looks kind of cool so we left it as is. There is also a 1" tear on the fabric on one speaker.

Outrageous looking and sounding speakers from legendary maker B&O! Don't be fooled, these can produce a detailed yet thunderous sound capable of filling large rooms. They are powered with thousands of watts via built-in class D amplifiers. Great video review from Sounds Heavenly (Checkout the 11:30 min mark for connection options.

The grills have some fading toward the back side from sun exposure, but it looks kind of cool so we left it as is. There is also a 1 tear on the fabric on one speaker. This listing includes both speakers, basic B&O connection cables, power cables, and a B&O remote control (remote not pictured). BEOLAB 5 As excellent as the technical performance of this revolutionary speaker is, Bang & Olufsen understands BeoLab5 not just as a high-end device for experts: The unique sound of the speaker impresses laymen as well as trained ears. The BeoLab 5 has a high gloss polished acoustic lens and is available with textile coverings A HIGH-END SPEAKER FOR ANY LIVING ROOMBeoLab 5 is the world's first speaker that adapts to its environment by pressing a button. Thus solves two fundamental problems which were previously considered as unsolvable in the speaker construction industry: Adaptation to the room conditions and direction control of the sound. The result is a pure sound and bass response, regardless of the placement of the speaker or the listener's position. When the listener sits in a room that is filled with the overwhelming sound of the BeoLab 5, he has the feeling that the walls disappear and the ceilings open up to let the sound flow. From the lowest to the highest tones the sound is pure and free from external noise, natural and enormous, without ever being perceived as loud - not even at the highest levels. Adaptive Bass ControlThe biggest challenge for a loudspeaker company is the unknown living environment and the position of the speaker therein. But these two factors are essential for the sound quality. For example, if a speaker is in a corner, it can be as good - the result is often a humming and inaccurate bass. A free-standing speaker typically produces a thin bass. The solution is called Adaptive Bass Control (ABC): The ABC technology, which features a flexible microphone system, measures and analyzes the reflections of the room and the surroundings (furniture, present people) and compensates them by automatical adjustment of the bass. Thus, the speakers can be placed anywhere and always offers the same quality of bass. If the position of the BeoLab 5 or the design of the room changes, the self-calibration can be triggered by a small button at the top of the speaker and accomplishes automatically within minutes. Acoustic Lens TechnologyYou can move around a grand piano as much as you like, and the music will still move you. In contrast, a traditional stereo speaker set-up locks the listener in a 'sweet spot' position of limited physical dimensions. If you move around, you lose out on the subtleties in the music because of the directionality of the speakers. The Acoustic Lens Technology (ALT) enables to freely move around the room and still listen to the same excellent sound. Thanks to two elliptical lenses at the upper part of the speaker, the ALT will ensure that the sound of the high and mid-tones is distributed horizontally in the room in a 180 ° angle and does not radiate on the ceiling or floor. This leads to an immense acoustic advantage. There is no longer a need to sit in a specific position in order to achieve the optimal loudspeaker performance. In principle the Acoustic Lens Technology reproduces the sound just like a ship's lantern radiates the light in a semi-circle of 180°. Conventional speakers reproduce sound like a flashlight, with a limited beam angle, especially at the high tones. Therefore conventional speakers sounds differently, depending on the position of the listener. THE DESIGNWith its bold, cone-like shape and the elliptical lenses BeoLab 5 breaks completely with the definitions of traditional notions of a high-end device, and provides a welcome addition to any living environment. When Lewis placed the bass unit in the base of loudspeaker, directed against the ground, there arose the cone shape. The acoustic lenses in the upper half of the speaker appear to float strung like a chain and give the BeoLab 5 despite a weight of 61kg, a visual lightness. The system includes four specially developed active speaker units, each with its own amplifier. The high and mid-range units consist of elliptically shaped, acoustic lenses made of brushed aluminum. The two bass drivers, one for the higher and one for the deep bass are integrated into a closed housing which is surrounded by a noble, aluminum jacket. In addition a heat dissipation, made of cast aluminum, is discretely attached to the back of the speaker. The SkyFi Testing Process for Speakers: Our speaker evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, dented tweeter domes, and cone damage. We also inspect the speaker connection points for loose or broken connectors. After the initial visual inspection we connect the speakers to a reference amplifier with our preferred test tracks. With the speakers placed with proper distance we listen to each driver to make sure that they are producing the intended frequencies with no signs of distortion or rattle. During listening tests with test tracks we check for proper stereo imaging and bass response at various listening levels. If there are any audible signs of issues, the speakers are taken to the bench where we perform a frequency sweep to isolate the issue so that it can be resolved by component repair or replacement.
