Absolutely gorgeous, love the combo mid-century and modern minimalist vibe you have, great windows and roof line too.

Tough decision, I find the shape fascinating and it would look good in your space, however, it's inflexible (once you drill holes and put it up you're stuck with it more or less) and your current system is more amenable to being moved/changed if you ever want to rearrange the furniture. Plus the Shape is expensive. I'd say you'd get better audio performance by adding a sub.

 

Thanks Jeff.  IIRC, you're in SoCal, so you probably know about the Eichler homes

BeoFrederic, I'm in Georgia, but I do know about the Eichler homes. Stunning pieces of mid-mod architecture, I read Eichler was living in a rented Frank Lloyd Wright home after selling one business while deciding what to do next. The experience of living in such an iconic piece of architecture compelled him to try and bring it to the masses, and he did an amazing job. I live in a mid-century house my late father-in-law designed, with many of the prevailing design elements of the day. I take it you're in SoCal if you own an Eiclher. The glass/roofline sure pegs it as one.

I know, it's so hard to decide without listening, my nearest dealer is about 900-1000 miles away I think, unless he's gone under too. The Shape is inflexible, but as you say so sexy looking and you do have the perfect venue to display it in. Tough decision.

Re knock offs, my dining room table is a Knoll Saarinen table, the official one, because my wife wanted a large one and no knock offs are made in this size. The chairs, however, are knock offs. I got all 6 knock offs for the price of one official Knoll one!

Will be interested to know what you decide to do, sub or Shape!

 

My set, not entirely B&O, but entirely Danish 🙂

Is that a BG 9500?  I’m jealous.

A very beautiful idea to hide the beautiful Beolab 11 subwoofer. :-)

Agree - although you could also say....’a beautiful idea to flash the BL11’.

Location: Flensborg————Danmark

Good looking setup and room.

The BL11 looks great. I have always thought it was one of B&Os most beautiful designs.
Really lovely and artistic display

Beautiful way to turn the BL11 into part of an art display! Wonderful setup.

Your set up looks beautiful.
