Congrats - on both 🙂

Remembering this thread (and others)

/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/best-setup-for-beolab90s-with-multiroom#post-2111948

I am looking forward to hear about your future setup and how you get along.

Some pics would be nice too.

WIll post pics - so far this is all I got from the dealer: 

 

It's going to a temporary house (where we are renting until the new house is finished) before being fully setup and installed in Q2 2019. 

 

 

 

Hi guys,

 

Is it only me, or has no one really bothered that B&O are now making the most expensive mono loudspeakers ever?

Bring me stereo, please, that's how recordings have been made for a few decades now..

For a good deal of modern pop, rock, hip hop, loudness is prioritized in the recording / mastering process. Wide stereo separation is much rarer than it used to be.

And B&O still make a bunch of left right speaker pairs.

But in spirit I'm with you - I have an A9 in my bedroom, but I'd much prefer even a pair of BL3's (if I could be bothered with the rewiring hassle). Single point systems are limited, even the better ones.
Stereo not always necessary if imaging not a priority.

I actually like B&O party mode!

And "single-point" doesn't necessarily always mean "mono" (the A2, for example, plays different signals from each side, as does BeoSound 2 with its midranges). I can't verify right now whether this is the case with the Edge, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does something more than just playing a mono signal through all of its drivers. Granted, it's not going to magically give you a sweet spot, but that's not the point of the Edge either. The BeoLabs are for that.

You make a very valid point, and the fact that we seem to be going back to mono has bothered me for a while about many new wireless speakers in general.

However, after extensive deliberation, I've decided I don't care when it comes to the Edge, and I still want one...

+1.

Actually, +10. I feel pretty strongly about this. A dying breed, I guess.

''Pair of ti*s'' sounds better to me than ''Single tit'' 👍
