To recap
When we first hear the B&O Play Beolit 17 we assumed it was a wired speaker. That it can kick out such considerable volume, with smooth low-end bass and a considered balance of mid and treble is true testament to the Bang & Olufsen roots to which B&O Play is linked. Play it loud, play it proud - there’s little better than the Beolit 17.
