Good to hear

I was at a local dealer today just having a chat and catch up

After trying loads of speakers and ending up with my AMAZING Penta3 which are relentless I am not sure I have have the floor space for them in my new house.

Interested to hear them and compare with the Penta3

Four speakers in an 8 setup should in essence match one Penta3

Concerned though as I beolab 12-3 years ago on beauty and they didn't cut it.

Looking forward to some reviews on sound

Got my Beosound Shape today and it sounds amazing. Only question is when it will be able to work with the Beoremote One?

Very excited to about this product. Does anyone know if you can turn off the sound field processing? I’d love to have this on my ceiling for Dolby Atmos and would want the left right separation kept instead of whole wall sound field.

Alternative would be to buy two sets but that would double the cost 🙁

Congrats with it, it looks beautiful on your wall!

I still have not heard the system in real, but both my wife and I like the concept of this music system. Actually. The more we see it, the better we like it, it kind of grows on us.

So, to B&O from us: 🤒

Hi

It is not possible to install the BeoSound Shape on the ceiling or even on an inclined wall. The amplifiers run quiet hot and they requires air circulation to cool them. When a Shape is designed, the amps are always positioned in the lowest tiles to provide air circulation.

Regards

Opman

Thanks for the heads up Opman

🙁 My only last hope would be to feed the speakers via separate amps or putting the amp tile on another patch on a side wall but then it’s destroy the whole visual of the rig.

Back to the drawing board 🙁???
