The pricing is in the Engadget article.
Reasonable pricing.
Looks nice and clean, if pricing is right this could draw a lot of people to the brand (again). But pricing is key!

It is stand-alone I see no PL in the spec thoughBut can it be used as a centre in a surround set i.e. incorporating your other BeoLabs? Not obvious (unless I missed something) from the website. In which case, no long orgasm. I'm pretty sure this is a standalone product, designed for use with an LG TV and thats it. But if anyone else has information to the contrary, please let us know.
Yes indeed.
As was posted here by myself and others (many months ago), this was always going to be the standalone product.
And as Roger indicated at the time of the Harmony release, the pricing would be reasonable at 1500 Euros ((1250 GBP), which is what is being quoted.
A fully fledged Eclipse style sound centre is much further down the road.
Oh, and this has no upwards firing speakers, so I cant imagine the Stages' 3D / Atmos sound is going to be that impressive, maybe in a small room perhaps.
Someone (not me) is going to have an evening long orgasm... The words Dolby Atmos and B&O in one product.
Anyway... first looks: meeeeeeeeh... Looks retro...Will have to see and hear it in the flesh.

Well, the Beosound stage will fit in with the Symfinisk from ikea. Looks like it is the same designer 😎
Speaker arrangement:
This looks great and truly suggests great value for the extra price. I really hope it works out in spades.

Don't encourage him or he'll pollute this thred too! I'm quite happy that he is happy posting to himself on his own little ego-thred.
It is understandable B&O had to ditch both PowerLink and WiSA in this specific product (even though I am wondering if PL still has a future). On the flip side I am thinking about potential new gen B&O customers: it is not a smart soundbar and I haven’t gone through the specs yet, not sure if Spotify and other audio services are built in. I still see Sonos as technically more attractive from that perspective. Aesthetically there is no comparison, the Beosound Stage is very nice. 🤒Maybe it’s just me but the style has some Ruark Audio flavour. I like the buttons, they might be a nod to the classic BeoGram 4000. The price is not sky high, I hope they will be able to sell in volumes. 🙂Olivier
My B&O Icons:
Same built-in sources as e.g. Beosound Edge.
