Genuine question here. Aside from seeing them in Official Dealerships I've never seen one in a private home, a place of business, or even heard anyone mention having bought one.. 😂

Reason : I keep looking for a pre-owned one to buy (old habits die hard..) and I'm just not seeing any.  Either they're so amazing to own nobody would even contemplate selling theirs, or they've sold in such low numbers they're just not around second-hand.

I'm tentatively guessing the latter, but wondered if we have a silent majority on here who own one and are just being pretty cool and aloof about it..

I’ve heard people buying them, very few though. Sales for the UK last time I actively looked where very low for the first 5-6 months. If I remember right it was under 100... But the launch and actual time to sale also probably didn’t help much. Though most of the people that have one seem to be happy with it. I like it, sort of, but it’s not for me.

They’re probably also too new atm for second hand sales

I haven't bought one

I have no where to put it with the A9, A6, BS1

Plus, i dont have anywhere , where i could put it on the wall at 90 degrees without hitting it walking past.

I think they would suit a warehouse conversion or really high end architectural places. 

I know someone that has bought one in the bronze and it looks beautiful.  But i think its like when you buy a car you generally keep it for a few years before contemplating selling it.

Haven't bought one.

To be fair. I don't think it's a "home" speaker... More something for a hotel lobby, fancy fashion store... but not something you would have at home.

Still fantastic looking spreaker though. But very limited use at home.

It's placement requirements mean it is all but impossible to accommodate in a "normal" home environment - hence low interest/sales.

Given b&o's current woes, the product they have chosen to work on/release are a strange choice at best!

Hi Lee 

We have sold a few but it has been flying out yet. 

We recently installed one in the Aston Martin showroom in Wilmslow. It is in the hand over area and has a customised wheel cover courtesy of Skiniplay. 

Hopefully this will generate more interest.

Actually it would somewhat work as a floor speaker, but in that segment it's up against the A9 at half the price.

Form over function! Simply to bizarre... Wasted resources!

Sad when your new product takes a beating from your old one. In the future will people look back on the iconic B&O products of the 2010s and A9 be the only one?

This is brilliant! As I said.... Edge is probably more a showroom product.
