At Bang and Olufsen, what caught our eye is certain to be kind on the ears. The BeoLab 5 is yet another stunner in the B&O lineage of “art meets audio”. This seemingly extra-terrestrial sound system packs 2500 watts of digital amplification through speakers that employ “Acoustic Lens Technology”. With Bang and Olufsen’s ALT speakers, there is no sweet spot– the listener can move around the speaker from any perspective and still be in the center of the aural action. What’s more, these speakers adapt to the shape and reflections of your room to provide even bass response, uncolored by nasty architecture. If you want the ultimate audiophile experience, however, be prepared to pay the premium.
