Seems that B&O is demonstrating some impressive (car) audio at CES:

Wow! That's crazy! 

My friend's who is in tech has flown over to attend the CES. Maybe I should get him to visit the B&O booth.

Looks so so amazing and cool. I like! I hope I will get a place one day where I can wire all guest rooms with those loudspeakers! 

I think they look horrendous, on or off. I wouldn't want my wall blighted with these speakers. I've seen something very similar before in a B&O showroom already.

They look great!  Wish I had a place to put them.

Wow, didn't see those coming! I really hope they sound spectacular in the ceiling and that they can be used as surround sound as i am moving house soon and was wondering how i might get extra speakers in the lounge!

I assume they will take a line input from a Playmaker - really need to find a way of airplaying to multiple rooms without having to use stupid iTunes - i use only Spotify these days.

Has anyone seen anything of the rumoured new surround sound system? Which i assume would be BeoLab 14 if they miss out the infamous number 13?

Just to be clear - these speakers do not have the amplifiers built in - there is a separate unit called the Amplifier1 which contains the six amps required  to drive a pair of BL15's and a BL16. This amp is quoted as "rackable" which sound to me like it needs to be hidden somewhere. I assume that this will have multiple input connections and switching etc. but I cannot as yet find any specs or puctures of said Amp.

If you google Beolab 15 one of the first articles has all the amp specs etc
