Saw this in my local Harvey Norman in Melbourne the other day..
Acoustic Lens plus a mix of Beolab 6000, 8000 & 1.
It's just not cricket is it
doesnt look like lens, rather just element pointing upwards
blah-blah and photographs as needed
Probably one f those new 'Dolby Atmos enabled speakers', where the ceiling speaker is 'upfiring' from the top of the main speaker.

Either that or they just use it to smear the soundstage upwards to give it more "air" ala the Bose concept.

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
One of the primary purposes of the acoustic lens is to reduce the reflections aganst the
ceiling and spread the sound from the tweeter in the horizontal.
If the 'LG thingy' were an imitation of what B&O intends to achieve with the acoustic lens in their speakers,
they would have totally missed the point.
No - it is their take on 'immersive sound' - the new trend in multichannel audio - probably using their own upmixing algorithm.
Just search for LG BH 9540/9530 on Youtube - and you'll see.
