I'd posted some photos of my various B&O setups last week, but I think they were lost when the site was restored, so I'm posting them again--with a few extras. We just completed our latest and (for now) final installation in our new home--and we're really enjoying the full B&O experience.

Fantastic!

Besides all the B&O-stuff I like your collection of the Vitra George Nelson clocks in the house. Classic design objects!

Josh. Your house and collection is beautiful

 

 

It looks like your collection is mainly brass and smoked oak ? Is that true of your 3 Harmonies ?

Thanks! Yes, the Harmonys are all brass/smoked oak. We chose this finish for 3 reasons: 1) After years of having nickel hardware in our previous homes, we selected all brass fittings for this home, and wanted to keep the look consistent throughout our home. 2) I wanted the flexibility of moving speakers around without mismatched systems. 3) It's what my wife liked most, and therefore she didn't really give me a hard time as things added up.

I should also point out it was not my intention to have 3 Harmonys. I originally planned an Eclipse for the office for some variety, but settled on the Harmony, again as it's what my wife liked best and it gave us the ability to better hide the game systems behind the TV so they wouldn't be visible from the front.

Thanks. I'm almost as obsessed with clocks (and watches) as I am with B&O, and I'm a big fan of Nelson's designs, as evidenced by some of the other furniture in our home.

Thumbs up for your collection and interior design taste!

 

 

Quite a stunning collection. Noticed you use the 28’s as rears in the office and you have 18’s as extra rear in your bedroom. Shouldn’t you switch the 18 to rears in the office and have 28’s as fronts there?

 

Surely you have thought this through very carefully, as you have done with your complete gear.

 

 

I’m also into brass completely. Have ordered additional BL50’s and Harmony in brass, as this colour is EOL. Such a shame as it is the best colour for my taste, just blends in so nice and more warmer then normal alu.

Thanks. We have the two pairs of 18s and a 19 in the bedroom for full surround, as after the family room, that's where my wife and I watch most of our TV/movies. We also utilize different speaker groups there for background music with the speakers playing in double stereo, or listening in either the bed or the chair with only one pair of 18s (the 19 is used for all modes). The TV in the office doesn't get as much use by us for TV/movies as the other Harmonys, except by our daughter, who watches/plays video games there after work hours. So the 28s were placed with a focus on the lounge chair for more critical music listening, with the added benefit of using them as rear surrounds utilizing the Harmony for front left, center and right. So, for music, we use wide mode while at our desks, and narrow mode for listening in the lounge chair.

And, yes, it's a shame if indeed the brass tone is going EOL, as we quite like it and it was a real selling point for us. But I guess it'll always be available bespoke for a premium, so perhaps it's just raised the value of our systems in the future (not that I'm thinking of parting with them).
