BEOSOUND SHAPE : THE BEOWORLD REVIEW

I would consider a setup with 0 speakers and a lot of blanks to improve the room acoustics for my bl 5s.

In which case why not just order some acoustic tiles?

It's different I'll give you that.

Sure will sound good.

Just hope the install isn't as messy as the beolab 15/16, which never sold too well.

Don't forget to order the small Bang & Olufsen badge then ;-)

Only place  in my home for the Shape would be the ceiling - would be a nice option, I think!

Thinking about it - I might be able to find a piece of wall for it/a small version....

Must admit, I quite like these and it's good to see B&O doing something a bit different, instead of yet another uninspiring portable speaker!

Unfortunately, as my speaker tastes are more towards the "it's not the speaker; it's the packing crate it came in" end of the size and ugliness spectrum, I'm unlikley to purchase any, but I sincerely hope it sells well.

LOVE the idea.

LOVE the look.

HATE the price. It's a joke. You're better off buying an A9 and wall mounting it as it will sound much better and cost less.

Nice to combine with some Kaleido plates from HAY (also from Denmark)

How can you know - did you already listen to it?

And if yes, in which configuration?

Think people are making judgements based on the demo posted on Vimeo.....did seem as if you needed more than a basic configuration to match an A9 from what I remember....anyway will be interesting to see how many dealers have good sized configurations vs just a basic one for customers to try....
