The Beolab 8’s look amazing and sound incredible. Josh installed a pair for me this week - thanks! They are fantastic and re discovering my music library 🎉

Somebody changed the B&O app eq settings of Josh’s voice in the end, damn. He really dialed up the bass response lol

The beolab 8's design is just perfect. I enjoy just looking at them.

Beautifully presented sir! I have listened to the balance and the 8's I ended up going for the levels! But I am very tempted by the 8's at some stage in the future

When I was building my system, I decided on a pair of Balances for my rear channels. Their wide setting fits perfectly with the Theatre & 28s I have in front.

Excellent video Josh, thank you. I had a pair of Beloab 8s installed in my kitchen almost a year ago, replacing a single Beosound 2, and can honestly say that they provide the most realistic clarity of sound of any speakers I’ve ever heard. They completely belie their small size. I mostly listen to classical music and it can be tricky to find speakers that reproduce acoustic sound so realistically. When it comes to solo piano music many speakers can ‘boom’ or sound inauthentic, however one adjusts the settings. I even prefer listening to the Beolab 8s over my Belolab 28s (which are amazing) that are in the living room - this may be in part a reflection of the different rooms’ acoustics, but nevertheless…

Were you talking about the Beoplay 2 upping the Balance here towards the end or vise versa ? Thank you
