Hello, what is the difference between BL3 Mark I and BL3 Mark II? Are there other versions?

I tried searching for a bit, but found no information. Any information will be most welcome, as I am considering getting a pair.

I have 3 pairs of white BL3s. 2 x Mk2, 1 xMk1

1. Cant tell the difference sonically sound-wise between them.
2. Suspect Mk2 = revised parts as Mk1 components become revised.
3. Mk1 and Mk2 have zero wireless capabilities
4. I would say the Mk2 white has a thicker, more enamel-like “paint-job” over the Mk1.

I think B&O have moved-on dramatically since they introduced these ground-breaking speakers (2005 IIRC?). However, I think as a surround speaker they are excellent for the sound and compactness but would question their sonic performance in a primary music-room loudspeaker.

@anneblack response must be wrong. There is no “advanced wireless connectivity option with the inclusion of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities” in Beolab 3.

I believe Anneblack is some sort of robot.
It therefore has been removed.

Thank you Anneblack, Mr10Percent, and Hiort. Very useful information.

I concur that at least part of Anneblack’s info is unlikely, and I really appreciate Mr10’s detailed feedback.
