Wow, that is one of the most ridiculous looking surround setups I've ever seen.

 

I would not call it ‘ridiculous’ - but it is a weird one, for sure.

These guys were allowed to play.....and they did play 😁

There is something similar (not quite as weird, though) in the cinema room of the BeoHome in Struer - I am sure it sounded ridiculous good at the ISE.

I was lucky to get an invite from an friend or i would not have been attending.

I visited the Bang & Olufsen stand and looked and also listend to this set up.I,m no expert but it sounded not good.Way to loud and to much without much detail in the sound.Iw was a loud film they showed me.I also saw a pair of black big speakers who sounded very nice.Costs were 35000 euro,s  a pair in black version but really nice.

Why the ceiling speakers? Can any B&O product decode Atmos now?

Indeed. Oh and it looks horrific

This type of installation would make sense in a dedicated home theater. However, who would ever want to drill that many holes in their regular living area walls? It seems absolutely ridiculous that B&O would present this type of installation when they don't even have a BeoSystem to support a 4K projector and Dolby Atmos for a serious home theater.

I know the brand likes to be different and aspirational, but who the heck would aspire to that setup

Guess when there’s nothing genuinely new or interesting to show, this kind of thing happens

It’s a showcase - please don’t overreact!
