The technical specs are very impressive, but it's massive. If only it had aluminium legs. Or a giant coil spring would be fun, so it could nod about.

Looks like official pictures.

I like it. I can imagine it hanging from the ceiling.

what the hell is that ? 

A beautiful object.

I think they have found this ugly thing 30 years ago on a loft in GDR.

Perfect to match with Vitra Eames DSW chairs and RAR rocking chair!

I like it !

Now that some of the blurbs seem to be confirming this contraption is mountable on a wall, well -I think I could see that!

The specs seem strong. I think it might be fun in a kinda' funky way.

But, at that price -funky alone doesn't cut it! It just looks too Walmarty discounty.

I just don't see many of these moving off the shelves and into PLAY customer's abodes.

The PLAY message seems blurrier than ever!

I have a bad feeling the A9 may ultimately become known as a platter for someone's head!

Now 18 months later the range of products from B&O(Beoplay), that i associate with the brand and find desirable,is getting smaller and smaller. Dear god let the Beovision 11 be as good as i have been told it is. My loyalty, and the associated pocket will only reach so far.

Well, my dealer said that the BV11-55 should come in at around £10,000 with the stand, so that's some "good" news. I do wonder about the differences between our solid/heavy BV10 and the forthcoming BV11. Will be interesting to hear more info from Russ, particular how the speakers perform, compared to our BV10.

I can't say too much.  For now, I'll just say "Wow!" with regard to the BV-11.  You'll be able to ask me more soon enough.

As to the A9, it is not nearly as deep as you would imagine from the comparisons with the A8.  The sound was quite good in a medium sized conference room.  In my current main room it would happily replace my BeoSound 9000/BeoLab 6000's.  Yes, I'm considering it!

 

😠 russ would you honestly consider changing your beosound9000 and beolab 6000s for this frying pan?? 😂do you work for bang and olufsen by any chance ? 🤔
