impressive product design sound of B&O ! awesome performance in a compact luxury speaker ! great review, thank for this showing dream ! have a happy new year (deux mille vins saints

[@xieulong]

Andrew, please help! My surround sound system is 22 years old. Onkyo TX-SR700, Athena SCT speakers, and a Sunfire SD10 sub in a 5.1 configuration. I would like an upgrade to better sound before I get too old or before the tinnitus takes me. My room is only 12'X12'; so probably 5.1.2? I really like the design of SVS Titans, but those may be too big for this room? I was also thinking of doing separates, but again, probably overkill for this room? Would a TX-RZ do? Any advice?

I listened to these in person in the B&O store. I cried. And perhaps like you, I didn't even realise I was crying. The music was just... Intimate in a way that befuddled me. I too can only dream, but oh, what a beautiful dream it is.

[@randolphblack2554]

I am so very happy that a manufacturer is willing to follow science with excellent engineering. And the result allows you to realize that applied science can be beneficial to people if they are willing to be honest with themselves. I love the fact that I can be alive to witness this event. Keep up the good work, Andrew & Kristi, and keep the dreams alive because I wanted a Countach and a Pantera when I was younger!

I saw them in a shop listening room a few years ago, another customer had ordered them and they were just coming through the shop for delivery. The buyer was nice enough to let us sample the sound and... SHEEEET it was majestic. If you've been to a high-class opera house where the sound is just everywhere but also right there... like where ever I put my eyes that was where the sound was coming from.. crisp, clean, warm, powerful. I went home to my poor Focals and Proacs and felt haunted.

[@SnapperX3]

People dogging on these are something else. I'd take these in a heartbeat, they are just fantastic. So glad that you were able to get these in for review. It speaks to your credibility and good character. 👏👏👏

[@Ladco77]

One thing I noticed about this review is something I don't often see, and it also reminds me of your Klipsch La Scala reveiw - the speakers were engaging enough to let you get past listening to the speaker and just listen to the music. Not comparing the two speakers, but they both achieve that emotional connection that goes beyond technical excellence.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

BINGO. For me, forgetting to evaluate a loudspeaker is the absolute mark of excellence.

[@HIFIDaydreaming]

Bang and Olufsen A9 was a speaker that opened my world, to possibilities that there is something else great in world of sound... that blends quality audio with art. B&0 90 feels like it is from different world of luxury, hedonism and pure joy.

[@robertcowart2456]

I grew up in Paris, France (as an expatriate) and my dad would travel to New York on business. On most occasions he would pick up the latest albums from up and coming artists, one of which was a group called the Beatles. On the way home from work one day (back in Paris) he picked up a stereo system from B&O. Listening to the Beatles on the B&O was my introduction to listening to good music on a good system. A few years later he upgraded and bought another B&O system which was even better. By that time he had introduced me to the Yardbirds, and The Ramsey Lewis Trio. My dad has since passed but I still possess both stereo systems. Since those days I have owned a few Hi Fi systems, but the B&O's still sound good and the memories are irreplaceable. Thanks for the review.

[@Darrylizer1]

I will never own these but I love Andrew's enthusiasm. What the heck, I will never own a 180 foot yacht either but I enjoy marveling at the engineering. Fun stuff!

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Thanks for the kind words. I love that you can appreciate the engineering and the passion even if the price tag is out of reach!

[@gouddude]

When I was a teenager back in the seventies I purchased my first stereo with money I made during summers and a paper route. That system included a Beogram turntable. Something I STILL miss to this day. It was art. I sounded great and I loved LISTENING to music! Fast forward to 2025 and I'm well into my sixties. Yes, I too have spent a lot of money on different equipment. Can I afford the 90s? No, but music is an emotional experience and if I can find a dealer to hear these I too can dream. Thank you for a review that allows me to vicariously feel what the 90s offer.

[@christophercale]

The part of the review I relate to the most is when you "wax poetic" about the emotional/spiritual/magical way which a speaker makes you feel. I get it, I've felt it and I feel it still when I listen to my system. While I can only imagine what these speakers sound, and feel like, your description, combined with my own experiences, puts me right in front of 'em! For me, when a speaker makes you feel "that way", it's doing it's job. I look forward to 2025 and new content from you guys! Thanks!

[@Monsux]

It's always good to have those dream setups for every hobby. I might think these are the ultimate dream speakers that I never own. While someone else might think the same about my custom PC setup. Then someone else might dream about that person's home or a car. Or just family stuff… It's good to have dream things or goals, even if you never get them. I've had years of specific goal in my mind that I've worked on my free time. It's almost done, and I get that, “I finally did it” feeling. Now it's time to set another goal. I wish that others also set the similar type of goals.

[@hpschreck07]

I have always been a big fan of B&O starting in the late 70’s. This, like the Porsche 911 was always a dream brand for me and I’ve admired the marriage between style and technology. Great review on the 90’s. Now I want to go to my local shop and give them a listen. Thank you Andrew 🙏

I love your comment about just losing yourself in the music and how the speaker does that for you. I’ll never be able to afford or even want to spend that kind of money on those speakers, but that feeling is what we all are after. I just auditioned a pair of Raidho X1.6’s and the Technics 700 amp and started to get that feeling myself. No matter if you can afford $1500 or $150000 for equipment; that feeling of just enjoying your music is what we strive for. Great video Andrew.

May we all endeavour to be fortunate enough to own a pair! Greetings from Spain 😎

[@Evertb1]

I don't see a problem with you having an emotional response on the 90s. To me music is all about emotion. If a speaker is able to make you forget the speaker and just start an emotional journey with your music you are golden. I am currently very satisfied with my own set-up (self build speakers) but I would love to have a session with the 90s. You know you are doing well as soon as you start listening to album after album and just loose yourself in the music.

Nice to hear a hifi guy giving these the credit they do deserve.

[@smsd31]

During our pursuit of 'better' sound, I think we sometimes forget that the true purpose of our systems is to get lost in the music and feel its emotional impact. It's easy to get caught up in the hunt for the next best thing, but with a system like the B&O 90's, we are reminded to enjoy the music as an art form. I wonder if many audiophiles are more drawn to the hobby of comparison, upgrading, and tweaking than to the music itself. I know I am guilty of that! That's also one of the reasons why I appreciate Kristi's perspective so much-she truly focuses on the music and the end use of the product. It's refreshing and grounding! Thank you both! ❤

[@znoozaros]

As a neurodivergent person I'm definitely more drawn into the hobby of comparing, upgrading, and tweaking than to the music itself

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Thank you for your comment and support. I think many in the hobby are more drawn to the gear than maybe the act of listening to it, which I'm not knocking, I'm just saying it as a likely reality. To each their own, for me, while this is my job, I'm amazed how more relaxed I am in my daily life when I get to stop caring about the gear and just do the thing I want to do, which is watch or listen to my favorite content. Have a great rest of your day and thanks again for your generosity.

@@VEC7ORltI think it would probably be several tens of thousands of Euros to make a pair of those speakers in terms of materials and hardware. The cabinet is made from aluminium which is poured in a steel mould and milled down. And then there are the people who assemble them together and test them. I am watching a development video of those speakers right now here on YT. They made quite a few prototypes. There is so much that comes to mind when designing, developing and building such a speaker. Ofcourse they would need to make a profit on it, which is still a fairy big one probably.

I absolutely put audio equipment into art category. Especially something like this. B&W 800 series is art. Wilson Audio design is art. Especially when they give you the emotions and joy while listening to music as well. This one is such a stunning speaker. I would choose different design for sure, but regardless, it’s fabulous. And important thing, I’m actually very much happy they went with a fully powered design at such a high price point. I think that’s the best decision they’ve made here, basically putting other high end manufacturers on notice with it. I very much believe this in no way is irrelevant even if I think there probably isn’t a single person that can actually afford a pair of these in here. These are a statement, a test of technology and a testament to timelessness. If you buy these, you forget about buying a pair of speakers for life and pass these on to your children that hopefully are just as geeky and passionate about sound and music as you are. I believe this tech will trickle down in years to come, or at least I really hope it will, because that’s what usually happens with things like these. What an absolute joyous way to start a year, I have to say, I didn’t expect it to be the first video of the year. Bravo. It looks fantastic, sounds fantastic and as always is an amazing review. It easily and right away shows just how much work you’ve put into this. The progress this channel has seen in the short few years is nothing less than astonishing!

That's when I get pissed off. I have no problem with people using their money to buy something they can afford and enjoy. There is a limit however where the wealth becomes grossly over kept and undeserved. Particularly billionaires. There's also a question of "are these products ACTUALLY worth what the manufacturer and brand are selling them for? With no transparency about production cost, profit margin, Internal business mindset or customer support, we have no idea if these things only cost $10k to make, $20k or whatever, and the company is just packing away money on the backs of people who think they have something magical.

The first time I hear them I was taken to a different place. I honestly had a spiritual experience, i hear music i had heard before, but discovered new things about it, I hadn’t heard before. They blew my mind.

How does that compare to the Sony SSCS5 Bookshelf speaker?

[@KristiWright]

*Haven't you heard? The SSCS5 comes with a bat, so you can DESTROY every other speaker you ever encounter.*

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Funny.

@@KristiWright 😂

[@audiovideotech9777]

@andrewrobinsonreviews comparison test is needed

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

I just did it and we finally found a loudspeaker the SSCS5 isn't better than. Thanks for watching (seriously, though, thanks for watching).

I love that products like this exist. It's got the sonic goods and a completely unique construction that is high quaality. I would argue that in the high end space, these are reasonably priced. Something to aspire to. Even if this isn't your cup of tea, you have to appreciate the innovation and inspiring design. Great review as well. 10/10.

[@rolf-arnesand2304]

Not in proximity of my financial range but thanks for the peak under the hood. Knew of the speaker but I was not aware of the insane amount of speaker drives and amplifiers.

[@jlayfield]

Wow!!! Outstanding review as usual I had no idea that B&O made such a speaker system for a home Wish i could have heard them. Keep up the great reviews and tha k you for sharing

[@MultiJonsson]

What a way to kick off 2025 👌

[@roccobruno8027]

Although not active speakers I can only hope you're able to review the MBL 101 E MKII or MBL 111 F. On a separate note, reviewing either of the German Physiks PQS-302 or the Carbon MK IV would also be great. Additionally a non-omnidirectional speaker like the Monitor Audio Hyphn.

They are just Gorgeous! Beautiful piece of artwork. Congrats for the review Andrew, extraordinary! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Jonziebal]

YES!! Great review! B90s have been a dream speaker for me since their release. And I will own one some day

[@PieroC]

Hearing the intro I thought I was watching an art documentary brought to us by Andrew

[@KristiWright]

That's what he was going for!

[@PieroC]

You both nailed it!

[@warrenfourie511]

Wow. Didn’t expect this review so soon. As someone who vividly remembers first setting eyes on b&o products at a friend of friend’s when I was 14/15 (the dad was a wealthy lawyer) I’ve been a fan of the brand for 30odd years. As I’ve mentioned before I have a few b&o products of my own now in part from watching your reviews. Even tho the app still drops some of the speakers too often for my liking, it is true that these products just make music fun and easy and a part of daily life in a way nothing else on the market can. There is something about the b&o way/sound that you recognize as excellent but don’t need to analyze the way you do with traditional kit. You focus on the music not the equipment which is a true gift.

[@JKadison]

Great review of such a unique product

[@andreasglende4952]

Happy New Year and thanks for another great review 👍🏽 This resonates with my own experience with Beolab speakers. After many years of HiFi «nevrosis» with a constant search for better components, I realized that I had ended up only playing music that sounded great on my setup. Did I listen to my gear or to the music? After ending up with Beolab 50, I slowly started to listen to the music I love again rather than «audiophile» tracks. I wish I could afford the 90’s, but I’m truly happy with my 50’s. No need to worry about the need to upgrade amp or cables 🙂

[@harisjaved1379]

This is pretty mind blowing when a floor standing is beating a 17 inch sub, impressive.

[@pieflies]

Considering the specs and price of the Beolab 90 I don’t think it’s surprising at all. I’d be extremely surprised if the SVS was better.

[@boneseyyl1060]

I am impressed by the design of this speaker. Of course it is B and O, a company that really seems to think outside of the box, so no surprise there. The Wilson Chronos seem crude in comparison. The power specs are a little crazy, though. I can see whole cities going dark if two people decide to use them at the same time. My hope would be that they could scale this thing down a bit to mere mortals level. I have been thinking for a while that traditional receiver based , X.4 channel systems are becoming obsolete. And speakers like this only convince me more, that this is where we are heading. Who needs a dozen speakers when two can fill your room with 3 dimensional sound. Great job B & O, keep 'em coming.

[@ToddAngele]

I’m definitely questioning my own reasons for watching this video too 😂 but here’s to dreaming 😂😂

[@Dreez76]

Happy new year Andrew and Kristi . Thank you for your informative videos. I bought myself a xmas gift in the form of Jamo D590 in new condition, and they blew me away with their sound.

[@KristiWright]

That's awesome!! HNY.
