I have both the Beolit 12 and the 15. I sent the 15 back and got a second beolit 12. The sound on the 15 had lost the all the fantastic warmth of the Beolit 12, so even with the flakey wifi connection and the battery issue, for sound the Beolit 12 is much better IMO.
I sometimes use the two Beolit 12s as multiple speakers around the house, which is a nice extra. However what would make this combo incredible would be able to use them as a stereo system (one speaker play left channel and one speaker play right channel) that would compete with Sonos, but I suppose it would also compete with B&Os more expensive systems!
I really wish someone had a software solution for that!
You could feed two BeoLits with a right respctively with a left signal through their line-in connection.
But I am sure this would be a 'bad solution', since the speaker is conceived as a stereosystem, and you would not use 'all of it'.
Another way to do it - perhaps - is to use a cable that splits a mono signal into a RCA (L/R) connection (double mono).
But overall I am sure the result will be disappointing - if you compare it with a 'real/normal' L/R speaker setup..
The BeoLits were created and tuned to work as a standalone speaker system!

There must be another way, using software!

How come Sonos can send left and right channels to tp their stereo speakers and not B&O?
Of course you can do that.
The big question - however - is, if that is a good idea?
Generally speaking a loudspeaker should be used for, what it is designed and tuned for....
...and the BeoLit's - as well as the A9's - are tuned for being used as a single speaker (with stereo content).
Try it out - if you like it, I can say nothing against it.
Problem is you can´t do it, not with any third party software I have found or via apples airplay/itunes set up.
You don't need any software to test that!
Just feed the speakers with a right respectively with a left sgnal to see if you like the sound of that sort of speakers combination.
If it works/if you like it, you can ask your question, whether there may be a software for doing the same.
I guess you are looking for a wireless solution for it?
Btw - which kind of benefit/improvement for the sound do you expect?
yes, a wireless solution is the whole idea :)
The Beolit 12 has a really beautiful and full sound, but stereo separation (of obvious reasons) is almost non existent.I have two Beolits set up in my home, they sound great, but stereo separation would make the audio appear more spatial set up asd a multisystem.
As said, Sonos can do it, and it sounds great.
