Soo .. What do people think of this new speaker system?
You beat me on this thread, I was about to post the PR article!
Given the price, honestly, I would have expected a 5.1 system rather than a limited 2.1 system, and proper active speakers rather than amplified speakers.
This is like going backwards, and competing with the rest of the manufacturers, the only innovation being the flush wall integration, which i do find impressive.

The Amplifier unit supports six speakers so therefore it is 5.1

Apologies ... I got it wrong ..................
Amplifier 1 contains six separate amplifiers. Two Class D units rated at 2 x 150 watts power up the subwoofer. Each BeoLab 15 gets 150 watts for the midrange, and 45 watts for the tweeter. Adaptive Bass Linearisation keeps the deep bass cultivated and crisp all the way down to 45 Hz. It is only 2.1 BeoNut since '75

Nothing new there,other companies have been doing inwall flush mounted for years,and are bought of people who want their gear hidden as much as possible.I would say most b&o customers are the opposite.
