Dear Puncher,
The listening position is the mirror image of the last photo I posted.
The same couch on the opposite side of the room and instead of patio doors a wall.
When the Beogram CD7000 arrives, I will post photo of the listening position with the Beogram CD7000 and 7000 record player in the background.
I still need to tidy up and hide cables under the underfloor conduits.
Cool - enjoy!!
Well done, and good for you! It makes me happy to see people buying something which will bring great pleasure for many years. Put me down for them when you upgrade and I'm back on my feet 😁
I had the pleasure of a full demo with Geoff Martin on these, and I can say that they are the best speakers I've ever heard in my life. It's like sitting in the front row of a live performance..
I won't say "enjoy them" - as you will, in spadefuls.

Install team look very professional, who are they?
The installers are Daniel and Martin from bang & Olufsen Exeter, a big thank you to them!
The installation of BL90 is a lot of effort and quite time consuming due their size and weight. They were patient and made sure i got a handle on the basics of everything before they made the 4.5 hour journey back when they left me at 5pm.
They seemed as excited as me; we were like giddy little school boys on Xmas day!
Martin was apparently a customer for years before joining their team and is true Beonut like us all here.
Matthew who couldn't join us as his wife was about to pop (have a baby) was charming, relaxed and very helpful over the phone and has made contact with me since as has Daniel to try and resolve some teething problems related to software so tehy were even more helpful after they'd sold, installed and left me. Matthew went to a school up the road from me in Reading and worked in B&O Reading and before that in B&B HiFi (now closed). I probably met him when i was in my late teens and bought my Denon Receiver and NAD CD player off that very store.
Something that expensive and ugly must have a redeeming feature, I can only assume that they sound fabulous!
Just my opinion.

Hello Graham😁
Amazing that B&O thinks these things through.
Yeah, I wish.
The BL90’s are a real PITA for installation. I purchased pair #4 in the UK and the first for my Dealer as a customer install.
I watched all the YouTube vids on installation and then did all the homework on how to get these 140kg monsters into my 2nd floor flat.
Kerbs (kerb-Road side drop from direct delivery
Ramps, steps, embedded door mats in foyer. Usually no pallet lift or pallet trolley available from the courier.
Lifts - usually 800kg max load - so OK but the BL90 pallet (800mm Euro pallet is too wide to fit directly in. Need to dismount)
Needed to then travel down a corridor. Service skate ok.
Getting through front door - again too wide for pallet and Service Skate (which I ordered for my own future use). Carry through required.
The unbolting of lockdown brackets from the pallet, Service skate, lifting lugs etc....all PITA. On/off/off etc...
Gawd help anyone who has to navigate any steps or stairs!
Basically, they are heavy, no real easy way to move and very difficult to grapple/handle. Stealing them has to be near damn impossible unless the thief’s have a day to do the job. It really comes down to multiple muscle power and humping them to position. Makes you very nervous I can tell you. Doubly-so when you the have to do another house move on your own without expert installers.
Anyway, STY, enjoy your new toys. They are awesome!

May want to check your App controller too. Looks like the BL90 App is ready to ldownload the latest SW release to 2.2.0.6387
