Of course you need to see it in real life. Otherwise you are just guessing.
Errrm, no. I don't know, maybe you are one of those who are unable to judge these things from photos, but I am not.

Is the BL28 going to transform itself to a more simplified design when I enter the shop? Will the black 'spine' disappear? Is the base going to shrink? Please enlighten me.
No that’s fine, You meet a beautiful woman in real life but you turn her down because you once saw a picture of her you didn’t like.Is the BL28 going to transform itself to a more simplified design when I enter the shop?

Personally, I am happy with the product!100% fit into my interior!
No one is suggesting that.
But if you don't like something, going to see in most cases won't change your mind, especially when you get such a good preview from videos / AR apps.
Also, are those who say immediately upon launch "I'm going to get one" wrong? Because they won't have seen the product in real life.
I dont see the same criticism levelled at them.
Cant have it both ways.

All I can say is, I keep an open mind and don’t judge from first impressions.
Alas, that might be too rational for many a beoworlder.

Actually Henrik was suggesting that. In my experience of buying B&O over 30/40 years, seeing something in store in the flesh has often made me like it more than I expected based on pictures. For example I fell in love with and bought BL18s when I saw them in store, but hadn’t been that impressed with pictures. But as far as i can recall I’ve never seen a product in the flesh and thought it isn’t as good as the pictures. As for those saying “I’m going to get one” on launch, then those folks would of course be taking a chance. (But a chance based on knowledge of B&Os competencies so not a total risk. ) And I will probably do it with the Emerge. Criticise if you like but as I say I’ve ever seen a B&O product that I liked in pictures but not in real life.No one is suggesting that.

B&O’s picks tend to not properly show off the real looks of any product, 99/100 things look better to way better in real life
I have to say I’m really into the design. I like how it looks like it’s floating along with the positioning of of the sub woofer. It actually looks better wall mounted for me. Somehow just knowing how my 18’s are I would still have a separate sub
I think it would look much better without that cheap looking touchscreen at the top that suddenly makes it look like a Samsung speaker or something from Best Buy. If only they put the tweeter from the 18’s up there. Sigh
Also. Not so sure about that fabric. Maybe it will look better in person or with the right combinations.
I may fall in love in person though
