I recently almost got a pair of Beolab 5. One speaker was not self-calibrating correctly, so I withdrew, but not before listening to them.
I liked the sound very much. For me the strengths more than outweighted weaknesses, and I liked the design.
At the other end of the range, I had a Beosound A2 (untill my daughter took it from me to use in her tiny student’s flat in Paris). Its noway near Beolab 5, but for its size it could be among the best portable speakers I have heard.
Not all B&O are equal, but they can sound very good.
