That's pretty much the worst thing you can do with the speaker. He should stand 60-80cm away from all objects. But try it out. Men in Black is well suited.
I would not do that either.
Looking forward to your results.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Probably won’t make a difference for a sub since the sound is not supposed to be localized. The side passive radiators as far as I know have no bearing on the sound quality. I have a BL2 and it basically a boomy sub good for movies. So this placement should be fine. My two cents worth.
B&O in my life 😊:
Thanks for all our advice.... I am still trying it in its new location.
It may be my old ears but I can't tell any difference in sound, I just wouldn't want to damage it.
For a normal constructed subwoofer with one or two forward facing speaker chassis it could work somehow but for Beolab 2 with the passive radiators I doubt that it'll work (and sound) good.
Please just try it out and let us know if you are happy with the result.
There is only 1 driver firing from the front. The sides just need a bit of airflow. If you leave it there, perhaps keep the power of it a bit lower..
OK peeps,
After listening to movies and audio (vinyl & cd/Spotify ) I can say there is no difference in sound, I have turned down the input/setting and put it in corner setting via switch.
The sub is set quite low anyway so not to destroy the neighbourhood.
I will continue with it in its current position.. Unless advised of potential damage!
Or if any sound guru's from b&o could advise
My take is that it might well make the Beolab 2 sound boomy and horrible.
However, given that I've always thought the Beolab 2 was boomy and horrible anyway - you've got nothing to lose!!
