That makes sense. Any idea on the price for replacement covers - for both regular and for Kvadrat? It would be interesting to see what the cost would be for "redecorating" later. I'm sure there will be seasonal colors added in the future. I would like to see a light blue and a red.This is because dampers (and speakers) are sold in pairs. There are two pcs per box. This is why if you have the same price in the case of an odd number

I understand that all the hype is around BL50 but the Shape is also new product.
Did your dealer already got it? Did anybody see the BS Shape, hear it, touch it,...? Any comments, thoughts,...
thanks!
The BS Shaape was presented (to the press) at different locations - not launched yet.
In Denmark we will be able to see/hear it soon:

The Fredriksberg store in Copenhagen have a 20 tile installation of Shape. I will be in Copenhagen next Monday and will pay them a visit.🙂The BS Shaape was presented (to the press) at different locations - not launched yet. In Denmark we will be able to see/hear it soon: http://www.beoherning.dk/produkter/hoejttalere/beosound-shape Whether it will be available at that time, I don't know. Probably wise to tease it early - would not be good to launch two products at the same time. Or three for that matter, if you count in the BV Eclipse. MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.

thanks guys. I hope it will be in shops asap.
I plan to purchase18 tiles structure but would really like to hear it first. I´m really curious about the "wall of sound" concept, how it sounds and how the instruments are positioned.
the press reception, limited though it was, seemed fairly enthusiastic - i wonder how the AV guys will review it, especially when its described by B&O themselves as more for background listening....
I spent some time today listening to the Shape in the very nice Fredriksberg store in Copenhagen.It was a 12 speaker tile setup with Core and "dummy" tiles making up a total of 20.Visually it's really as cool IRL as on photos.The three dimensional illusion you get by the shapes is really cool. A few of the tiles had Kvadrat fabric and that sure gave a nice finish. Login to view imageI was really impressed by the sound.It was detailed and had a good "bottom". The 12 tiles really gave that "band on the wall" feeling mentioned in the marketing.You really could not tell that this was not traditional "stereo" soundstage.Again, it sounded much better than I ever could imagine. However, a 12 tile setup would cost close to 100K Danish.Wonder if a smaller setup of like 4 tiles, would provide similar impressive sound.

Interesting Hiort. I am also interested in how a smaller set up will sound. I am thinking of it for a modest room, figure I can always grow the set up in time if needed.As discussed on other thread. How did the Core behave? Did you have chance to have much of a play?Thanks for posting
No, I did not play around much. As of today e.g AirPlay and Google cast was the only option as I understood it. IR support for the remote will follow.Interesting Hiort.

I heard these yesterday in Oslo and was left really impressed. It was a 4 speaker setup. I own some Beolab 20s but with a 3 year old and a newborn maintaining a secure perimeter around them is becoming exhausting. We are moving into a new house next year so I am thinking to change.
