I really like the BS Shape,  the idea to have speakers that do not look like speakers and the wall-of-sound-singer-in-the-middle technology. 

I do have a couple of remarks / questions: 

I can see the colors working for interiors shown in the pictures and I can see that styling gets applauded in Mila, but I sure hope they will also release the usual colors (light green, blue, red, patrol, white to name a few). Anyone know if they will be available form the start? 

It would be really great if they could release white ones with "sound transparant paint" so you can have an artist (or creative family member) do some painting. 

As I understand the BS Shape does not connect wirelessly to lets say a BS Moment. Correct? How would you connect the Moment; I guess wired? 

If you would want to use them as rear surround speakers with a BS V1, I assume this could be done? How would the system change from singer-in-the-middle mode to surround mode?

Does anyone have an idea about the pricing of the additional speakers / amplifiers once you have bought the starter set? And the price of the acoustic panels alone?

Lee mentioned in his review the sound was "brash". If anything this system should have the potential to mitigate that with additional acoustic panels. @Lee  did you happen to ask this?

These (four) paintings were made by my wife - and actually I like them, too.

It is much more the question of finding another good place for them i the house....

....which I will have to work on ;-))))

P.S. When I showed her the BS Shapes she was taken from the idea of being able to co-decide how a soundsystem should look in your own home.

However, I said nothing about my wish for replacing her paintings - I guess this will take a bit longer....

....which is ok, since - in my case - the costs have to be considered too (= starting to save for it).

It won't be available untill this fall, anyway!

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Hi seethroughyou,

The BeoSound Shape is not a mono speaker. It is not even a stereo speaker. It is an advanced speaker that distribute the signal in the array of speakers, via a unique patented algorithm. It creates a unique effected (called "band on the wall") that places the vocals in the middle of the speaker and the instruments on the sides. The sound distribution to the speaker changes with your exact shape. The product is dynamically configured to your setup.

Br,

Is possible to use like REAR speacker in DD setup?
For exemple:

If I have beovision Tv with integrated center channel and pair of Beolab Sp. and beolab 2 subwoofer can I use like Rear channel?

The BeoSound Shape has also normal Power Link input, so it can be used in that kind of read channel TV setup.

After watching those videos, actually what is more intriguing is the "BeoSound core" more than anything. Looks to be a S8 connection hub that can pair with Essence remote, does DLNA and Airplay. Plus has optical out?? and Digital powerlink??

Yes, it does all these and more. But note, the Digital Powerlink is NOT enabled in the initial release of the product.

I like the concept and can imagine it in my apartment easily.

Just wondering why both Deezer and TuneIn are missing from the list of streaming options? Hope they get added by the launch date.

Deezer, TuneIn, Spotify Connect are there. As in all other audio products

If the Beosound Core would have some kind of remote + volume control it would be a great addition to a Beamer or such with a nice stereo hookup.

The BeoSound Core can be controlled from the BeoSound Essence Remote (via BTLE), as the other audio products
