From the picture, also a Beosound Edge behind the red guitar ?

I, personally don't see the point of the TV with the two 18's so close and the sub underneath.
I read once, while ago that candidates for a Ferrari had to demonstrate their skills in driving… Harsh, but in some way, true. In this picture I can see fetichism (not sure an English word), will to show, and overstatement, but not pleasure or love for music (John Miles, if you're reading…) or even sound.

If I use my "moderator" superpowers, I would add that this goes more in the "B&O in TV shows or movies" thread !

If similar would be the case for ’B&O drivers’, the company would soon be bankrupt.

I missed the Edge!  Must take exception to your swipe, though: The Edge has a purpose, being used as the beautiful guitar amp!  And placing the 18s hard-by the TV is because its own speakers stink, therefore off/muted and localization of sound & dialogue demands such placement of Front L/R given phantom CC.  The reverse shot shows another piece of equipment I don't recognize, underneath the Cedric Hartman lamp (which I do recognize: oooh, lamps!-).  (View Image" in your browser to see full-size.) Maybe a mixer, thus this is the mansion's "music room"? Yes, sorry to post a video screencap here in a thread that ought to be pictures of our own setups!  But this thread is moribund, and the photos immediately above came from the same YouTube channel, which doesn't rise to the level of Movies, nor even TV (IMO:-).

That looks like a guitar amp. Maybe a Mesa Boogie Lone Star Special 2-Channel 30-Watt 1x12 Guitar Combo? Glitch

Aha, of course!  As with the Edge, my personal "hidden surface algorithm" failed to parse the rest of the box behind the tabletop.  Thank you.

OK, here is another "hard-by" setup of Beolab 18s flanking a TV whose speakers are sub-par:

(Setup is "Speakers 2", i.e. no center.)  To my eternal cabling shame, note the diagonal Powerlink from the BV10 to the BL18.  But it was temporary: the speakers are going elsewhere, leaving the TV as a "utility" set in the office.  Now having fulfilled the purpose of this thread, ta-ta from yr servant, sincerely, etc. etc.

Upgraded some parts of the house with new speakers. The Emerge is an amazing speaker for smaller rooms and the Level is perfect for rooms where a portable speaker is needed.

Nice!  I believe you could remove the 4 black rubber bumpers from the corners of the Level -- they were intended for shipping, although they do fit very sleekly!  Underneath are tiny rubber dots & ells which hold the Level away just far enough from scratching the windowsill (or vice versa!-).  See close-up of @MBee's unit at the top of this page, fully disrobed.

@trackbeo

Thanks for your hint. But honestly I did let the black rubber protectors on the Level as I kind of like the look with them ? reduces the gold a bit.
