Seems as if the edge is more of a company purchase than people buying it. The same goes for the Shape which was launched to be in hotel lobbies, restaurants and work places. There is something about the Edge that makes it look like it’s just the prototype and real one will have some detail on the hoop round the outside. The control detail on the surface is nice but not that apparent to make the speaker look “finished”.

For me personally the lack of detail would be its strongest selling point. I like it's smaller size relative to the A9 as well, even though this is not reflected in the price.

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... 

That sounds like a fair number to me - if you'd said 30 I might have been surprised. I sort of like it, too, but not bowled over by it. I'd rather wall-mount an A9?

Not a huge fan of metal surrounds either, partly as I was tarnished by the BeoSound 4 all-metal base which was 'mare to polish!

Also, Peter Tyson has a few ex-demo units:

Hi Lee, good to catch up with you earlier. Yes, it’s the latter. I remember when they came out last December, we though they would be a great seller, and with the launch date being so close to Christmas, and knowing they’ll be in short supply I ordered 5. Sold one to THE customer who buys everything...couldn’t give them away. Sneaked a couple out on EBay at silly money, but a proper white elephant!

I think it is a difficult product to place in most homes, doesn’t have great sound quality, nearly every dealer had issues with the bass port opening and closing, and for the money BeoSound 2 blows it away...
