If you need a better subwoofer for your home theater, then check out the upcoming BeoLab 11 from Bang & Olufsen.

Where it differs from the traditional square box in the corner is that it consists of two separate speaker cabinets that face each other, containing 6.5-inch drivers.

That introduces an acoustic balance, which means that it generates bass with minimal vibrations and can be placed wherever you like – even hung on a wall.

The company says: “With BeoLab 11 you get a richer sound not only in the bass area but also in the other frequency areas as it takes over smaller loudspeakers’ reproduction of the lower frequencies.

This means that all capacity in the smaller speakers can be used to handle upper bass, midrange and treble”.

The BeoLab 11 will be available in North America by mid-May 2010 for $2,000.
