Just back from iKEA to buy a bookshelf speaker for my garage, but they had run ouf of the black I wanted.

When I asked when the speakers would be back in stock I was told that a new bookshelf and lamp are due for delivery in January or February 2022.

I can find leaked details about the lamps design change, which I think looks good. However, I can find no details at all about the changes to the bookshelf speaker.

Does anyone have any info on the new speaker?

As far as I know there isn’t a new bookshelf speaker being released. Especially since they have recently began selling a speaker stand for the current model:

Maybe they were just saying that there would be a new shipment of the current bookshelf speakers in January and February.


I saw those, but this was the Sonos specialist and he was adamant that the new speaker would arrive Jan or Feb 2022. 
I can only assume he is correct 


There’s been no indication in the press that I’ve seen. Nothing’s impossible, though.

The pictures I have seen on endgadget website show a slight difference in appearance. The prices in Holland, where the launch info was leaked from, states it is 99€ , but not clear if and when, plus cost, the release will be in the US.
