Liner Notes

The largest speaker made for the domestic market by B&O, this 102 litre behemoth was designed as part of the Beolab 8000 system. In common with the other Uniphase speakers, a wooden carcass was used with a resin front panel. The rear was also veneer finished, a feature only found on the more expensive speakers in the range. The construction also included porting to a downward facing bass reflex port which made the fitting of floor stands essential.
