Bang & Olufsen is has always been one of those companies that combines technology with bold, occasionally polarizing designs. I admire that the company is willing to take risks, even if I don’t always care for their individual efforts.
I am very curious to hear what you think about their forthcoming speakers, the Beosound Edge:
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Yes, they are visually beautiful. But like a lot of B&O designs they cannot blend in with your existing environment, but instead claim space as its own, announcing its presence and demanding attention.
I think the bit about rocking the entire speaker to adjust the volume is a bit absurd, and the wall mount in particular seems ill-conceived; why project sound parallel with the wall? Oughtn’t it be fired into the room perpendicular to the wall?
Time to weigh in, design fans: Yea or nay?
