Born Rich: In December 2009, Bang & Olufsen presented the second generation of the Advanced Sound System for the new Audi A8. The highly praised sound system has been now made available for the new Audi A8 L, the long wheel-based model of the A8. The luxurious A8 L enriches the passengers in the back seat with extra comfort. The Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System has been tailored for the longer A8. They have modified the midrange speaker box in the rear doors and chosen a larger midrange grill to complement the extended dimensions of the rear section. Moreover, a profound sound tuning was done to achieve the quality sound experience in the spacious car. They have gone for five additional loudspeakers for the new Audi A8 L. There are 19 speakers in total, with each fine tuned for a perfect sound experience. The loudspeaker grills for the midranges and woofers in both front and rear doors are made from aluminum to match perfectly the Audi A8 L’s interior curves.
Exclusively optimized for the A8 L, the “Volume Levelling” feature makes sure ensures that every passenger in the A8 L enjoys an optimum sound experience regardless of the surrounding noise conditions. Audi and Bang & Olufsen have been continuously developing high-end sound systems for different Audi models since 2005.

Übergizmo: If it weren’t about the price, most folks out there would want a few Bang & Olufsen products in their home. Now the company has just announced its BeoVision 8, which is a smaller version of its BeoVision 10 LCD, and less expensive. This 4-inch display touts 240Hz motion processing, something that the folks over at B&O claim to be nearly double that of the conventional LCDs. Being a B&O product, you’d expect it to sport some pretty awesome sound quality. The BeoVision 8 will be available this summer, and should set you back around $5,400, pricey, but it shouldn’t force you to sell your assets, right?

Übergizmo: Struck the lottery and need a better subwoofer to irritate your neighbors? That’s what the upcoming BeoLab 11 from Bang & Olufsen is for. Aside from its stylish looks, it promises some awesome bass. It offers two 6.5-inch drivers facing each other in an aluminum shell, and will handle all your beats really well. It’ll be available in North America by mid-May 2010 and will set you back a good $2,000.

EngadgetHD: Typically devoid of fancy lights, knobs, and switches, amplifiers typically don’t get a lot of marketing hype; heck, most people who own a receiver aren’t even aware of the amplifier section.
Bang & Olfusen’s Class D ICEpower switching amplifiers wrinkle that a bit — the compact footprint, light weight, energy efficiency and impressive specs are enough to make the newer technology marketable as, well, new.
Sadly, from Audioholics’ examination of many samples, it also looks like the newness stopped there and several manufacturers have slapped crazy price tags on an essentially “reference design” implementation.
There’s plenty of good technical info about the test bench performance of these amps in the link, but with several happy ICEpower users it’s hard to say that the subjective performance is unsatisfactory; the wide price range for essentially the same amp is what’s troubling. If nothing else, let it serve as a cautionary tale of not falling for the latest thing just because it’s the latest thing — when you’re shopping for an amp, take your ears along with your wallet.

AVReview: Bang & Olufsen has kept to its traditionally extravagant aesthetic with the launch of its new golden range of home AV products.
Though they may look a little Arthur Daley to the untrained eye, B&O assures us the entire range is made using only ‘real materials’ such as aluminium, glass, rubber and wood, all of which has been selected for its ‘quality and ability to fit naturally into any home environment’ (as long as you live in a gold bedecked palace, that is).
The gold colour range has been selected for a limited few products in order to maintain a level of exclusivity, with each product made to order.
