Sorry a little of topic, but I guess Bang & Olufsen tricks us in the attached picture. 

Who placed that deer??? 🤒

 

The deer is asking itself "Where have the power leads been hidden for those 'Wireless' speakers scattered around the floor?"

😎 Even with the hint I really had to zoom in to find that blasted deer!

Why, we all know if you are rich enough for B&O you can have the electricians custom wire up outlets right where you want the speakers! Dig up that travertine floor!

Actually, I suspect for most people it's easier to find a nearby outlet than to string wire from the TV/processor to all points in the room. But, with no wires, will we now see people selling custom, audiophile air (called ether) to allow for better transmission of the sound from the transmitter to the speaker? Air that provides more, well, air around the instruments? That provides solid bass without being thick?

So obvious that we are talking about marketing material. 

I assume no one will ever think that the placement is a realistic one?! Anyways, just get the cables running under the floor.

Wow, 

Lee, thanks a lot for sharing the information.

I am impressed by the design. Especially the wood, alu combination.

Is there anyone in need of my current speakers ;-)

Do you have a cheap pair of Beolab 5 or 9?

hehe, selbst die BeoLab3 mit Füßen werden auch schwer mit dem Rad zu transportieren ;-)

Many thanks Lee for taking the time to write up your review - it's exciting times indeed for B&O!

Just to be contrary to some, I like all three of the new speakers aesthetically a great deal, but the new 18 in the wood in particular, just looks sublime to my eyes.

Wonderful design, and there is literally nothing else out there in the market place that looks so unique IMHO - modern, very, very stylish, and yet classic and timeless all at the same time

Well done B&O!

Oh John, you always have such a nice positive attitude.  Is there ever a cloudy day in your part of Australia?

Off topic, both go hand-in-hand. I was over in Cyprus the other week, mid-October, and it was about 28c each day, crystal clear blue skies, like the height of a British summer. Got back here, raining every day, Christmas trees in shops...

And the rest of the world wonders why Brits can be so dour :)

Being positive and fair on B&O, they've done a superb job releasing top quality wireless speakers. Now, if only I hadn't committed to a new little sports car... ;)

Just thought you guys would be interested to see it.  There's a gap between the top of the sculpted 'cone' and the bottom of the main speaker driver and amplifier housing which I was told was bass porting..

Sorry, Lee. Your arrow is pointing a little low... but you're close. 

The arrow is actually aimed at the connector panel where you'll find the PowerLink, RCA phono and TOSLINK connectors, as well as the switches.

Cheers
