No idea.

I think at a guess £4K

Closer to £5,000 or just over for 8 depending on choice of cores, dampness etc.

That installation looks amazing. Too bad most houses aren't built with faux walls to hide the real wall. I'd be curious to see a "normal" real-life installation.

Very interesting to see the detailed installation pictures and the laser lines.

That arrangement, although appearing wonderfully irregular, had units at the extreme left and right at the same height from the floor.  Is this important to achieve a good sound stage or is that not considered to be an important sonic result with these units.

I'd imagine it looks pretty much the same – except in many cases one cable cover for the power cables coming down from the Shape's lowest point. Within the Shape itself cables can be hidden & routed behind the covers.

That's a nice touch. I didn't know that, thank you!

B&O product history since 1991: Ridiculously long to list in a signature.

I would hope no one will end up with a visible power cable. That would spoil the aesthetic.

I'm assuming one can daisy-chain power between units, -- or does each unit have to have a separate cable? Effectively, can only one unit be plugged into the wall?

As promised we would like to share our 20 tile BeoSound Shape installation experience from the Ealing showroom, west London.

We installed ours onto a plasterboard wall which had timber behind from a previous Avant 85” installation. From start to finish with two professional installers this took 4-5 hours and the end result is amazing.

Thankfully all of the new builds in Ealing have plasterboard walls so most installations should be relatively easy.

We hope you like it! 🙂
