il get a listen myself for sure, and even in your vid you can tell that it certainly does have exceptional ability, its filling a huge space there, its defo a back on track product, i dont particularly have a use for one, but already before actually hearing it in the flesh im starting to play that scarey game in my head that leads to you creating a need for it lol, stop it mikey just stop it! lol ;) great vid mike, keep them coming :)

@@gimble8638 lol You're very welcome, I play the same game when they release things that are this excellent :D It's even better in real life!

Is the remote included?

^^^ nah bud, only get remotes included with tvs usually (so ppl with full on systems/ muliple items dont end up with a tonne of remotes they dont need that they have paid for)

@@tommasorossi9531 the LG one is included with the LG panel and that works just fine, the B&O Beoremote One is NOT included in the price, but you can choose from like 6 colours if you want one :)

You're very welcome and thank you for watching and a nice comment! :D

You can virtualise rears but never really replace actual speakers unfortunately...

Nice, congrats, which store did you go to?

Looks just too sexy on the wall. Go for it!

@@Mikipedia In Nyon Switzerland

@@fcbarca2848 that looks like a very nice shop!

Peter Casey they cannot be compared at all. What you can’t hear in a review like this is how it can mimic surround sound.

uh yeah, that will be a shock to you I think :p make sure though that when you listen to movies or music that the soundbar sound preset is set to such. Upon first installation we turned a movie on and that sounded good, I then switched to movie preset and that actually gave me a literal jumpscare :p You won't be disappointed at all :D

that's kind of an incomplete question, which dedicated sub are we comparing? one of those massive SBS dual 15'' 2000watts or one that comes with bose or sonos ? The Beosound stage is partially designed to compete with the sonos play bar WITH SUB and I think it beats that no problem. In the end all sound including bass is just sound energy, size and shape make it easier to produce certain things but it's not dedicated by that. The pressure this soundbar makes in a huuuge room is very impressive, it only gets better at home!

@@Mikipediai wouldn’t go that far, it doesn’t get anywhere near as deep, nor as powerful. The Sub gen3 can hit volumes at 37hz not far off 100db whereas this does 86db at max output down to 32hz not 25hz. But this does sound much better for music, the sonos with playbar/arc, gen3 sub and surrounds handily beats this for movies. (Sorry for old reply, I was looking for this myself after I listened to a demo at B&O in Harrogate). Love the vids btw, keep it up

@@kylomeep4046 but now we're comparing something else, if you compare it to the sonos of 2019 the comparison still stands. either way, enjoy what ever you have.

@@Mikipedia the subs have the same output so it’s the same as the 2019 one so my point still stands that the sonos outperforms the stage by a significant amount. But yes it doesn’t matter as long as the consumer is happy with what they have as you only buy these things to make you happy at the end of the day. 👍

@@kylomeep4046grow up

It really is impressive, I love mine every day!

There is a price diff and also the system is bulky and looks ugly. B& O have the sound pedigree. Its not trying to b a solution for all situations and everyone. For the price and aesthetics and sound its a great buy.

The Ambeo is like having an Obelisk laying in front of your TV. This soundbar is just smooth and clear.

Thank you!

Love it, sounds great to me! If you have any pictures you'd like to show off, feel free to email to me! :D

I think you need more B&O Speakers! :)

hugo torres I am sure i will need more, but i think i will be satistfied with this sleek desing and no more cabling. I want only 1 device to play from tv, no need for more.

@@vilsonlekaj2374 Just Kidding. Anyway if you had a Bl9 with Wisa receivers or BL18 it will be amazing. Regards

hugo torres i never owned B&O, i ordered this already in December 2019, and still waiting to recieve it. This is the first item owned from B&O

I did in my first video, but then warner bros came around and literally blocked it worldwide. Copyright is so hammered down it's not fun anymore... Anyway when I did and I have tested it with films it sounded excellent, very spacious and you get a good sense of what traditionally would be rear and height channels. It's very impressive for films and music :D

Thanks for the insight on movie performance, really good to know. I guess it makes it an easy buy then! 😎

@@TheAnalogPlanet Yes very! I mean I was in a massive space and this Stage sounded huge and spacious, it only gets better when you put it in a smaller room as it doesn't have to work so hard to fill the entire room :p I own a lot of B&O gear, but this BeoSound Stage really surprised me with how good it is!

Stage is the only way, the Balance has no option to tune the latency (yet?! don't think it'll be made to do so). In terms of sound they have a similar output but I think the Stage has an easier time breathing so it doesn't need the same power to get to the same volume level. This is just a simple result of having bigger cabinets to move in. I have a Stage now and love it, it's mind blowing for how big it is and properly loud, it's also a fair bit cheaper but doesn't feel like it should be. To me the Stage feels like an absolute bargain :D

Hi Peter, the soundstage of the Stage is definitely wider than the physical width of the product. It does a really good job of both tv/movie and stereo music. The thing with separate speakers is that you obviously can make the soundstage as wide as your cords are long and the bl17's and Stage are very close together in performance. If you'd never want to expand, personally I'd go for the Stage so that I could use the beoremote one and that I wouldn't need to have the TV on just for music(which you would with the bl17's). The Stage is a much more rounded product with internet radio and streaming etc all build in and that tips it over the edge for me! Hope that helps?!

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly Michael, you are a true advocate of B&O, your loyalty to the brand is second to none. I love the stage, it’s so versatile and unique. It’s definitely not just another soundbar!

@@petercasey1453 You're very welcome and thank you!

Glad you like it! and thanks for watching and commenting!

first come first served I guess, so get your order in soon as it's well worth it imo! Thanks for watching and commenting :D

Egon Spengler I preordered mine today from Selfridges (paying full price). Have been told to expect it from Mid-November. If you email or call individual stores, you may find they have some left. I was told each store had an allocation of 10 on release, and I was sold the 7th.

music is always in the description! I think you're reffering to Otxhello - depression. How do you mean ''does it work well with the Balance?''? And why would you get rid of all that for a soundbar?

Same as the Contour, so 550 watt total.

@@Mikipedia I will probably follow suit like Ur set up I won't tell Faye my partner that it's 550 watts 😁 I'll let her find out 😁 can wait for your show tonight x I will always like it! I've set a reminders for every show 🙂👊🇬🇧

no not like that, you can multiroom the audio around your house, but i don't think that's what you're asking :)

i have the sane question. How exactly does mutiroom work? Is it playing on all connected speakers at the same time? If so, cant i put 2 small BO speakers behind me to work as surround sound?

Thank you, glad you liked it! and thank you for commenting :D

Go for it, you won't be disappointed :D

which MK of the A9, mk 2 or 3/4 are we talking about? makes a huge difference to my answer. either-way the A9 is a stereo setup and the Stage is 3.0 as is left center right. For TV but mostly movies this is a better setup imo because you can sit anywhere and there is a clear distinction between channels. now if you only watch talkshows it may not matter so much, but for anything else I would go for the stage. in short the the A9 is a music system that you can make do other duties, the Stage is a complete system that does everything well, the Stage is seriously impressive and it amazed me how good it was even knowing most things about it going in to the review. really airy, spacious, tight and very VERY powerful.

Isn't the DSP stopping distortions , like in not making the woofers try anything they can't? Usually it's just less bass when cranking up dsp stuff.

I have not, but I love the Stage!

The guy is a B&O fan, why would he advertise Naim?

Not that I am aware of, mine works flawlessly with my LG TV in my bedroom.

@@Mikipedia hi Miki, i’ve read its a 2.0 hdmi port, is this correct? My question is can I use a 2.1 hdmi cable in the eARC port?

@@burhanuddin2540 I think so, haven't looked at the specs in a while. But HDMI cables are always backwards compatible, so a better cable will work just fine :)

I personally would never go with Bose, I'd rather have the sonos playbar and sub if I had to have anything else. But the B&O Beosound Stage is designed to beat that sonos combo so I would have the B&O product every time :D

thank you!

that's an interesting idea! There is no real reason you can do that other than the mount is kinda meant to hold it in place via it's own weight. Is there no way you can put it under the screen laying flat? You can lay it flat and there is a setup option for laying it like that. I'd just be slightly worried when it's ceiling mounted and you don't have a way to stop it moving of mount when the bass kicks in. but besides that you can do it for sure, if you find a way to make a sort of locking system for the mount as it's a long way down :p it's a very cool idea though :D

mikipedi4 thanks for the comments. Well off to the B&O store in Munich this afternoon so will check it out. I assumed I would have to make a custom mount of some description so will keep you updated when I find a solution.

@@64BBBB good, have fun! the simplest thing would probably be to use the supplied bracket and make it a movement stop out of some angled metal bracket or something L shaped bu that may not be entirely invisible, if that's a must :p Good luck mate and let me know what you end up doing!

mikipedi4 OK so visited the Munich store and the stage is ordered. Have until mid November to figure out the mounting bracket. Right now i am looking to emulate a wall mount but from the ceiling. Will also reach out to the B&O folks to see if they have any suggestions. Will keep you posted.

Congatulations! Maybe you can use two small L shaped brackets as all they have to do is to keep the shape from moving off the supplied bracket rings? Beoworld forum may have some other ideas too :D keep me posted!

No you can't join them in that way. You can combine them all as a multiroom system but then all the speakers will play the same thing in any room/location. You don't/can't get to pick and choose which channels go where.

@@Mikipedia ok, if they speakers will play the same thing, what is better, 1 more exspensive speaker as Egde, or soundbar + 2xM5, how do you think?

@@point4894 That heavily depends on your planned use case. If you want to do music only, in one room, then the edge will be best. If you want to have music through out your house then you obviously have to go for two M5's (or one M5 and two M3's). If you want to use it for TV/movies and music and still have a huge sound then obviously you'd have to go for the Beosound Stage(again only in one room). The Stage is the best for the combination of all these things, but for pure music the Edge is the better (although not hugely so) option unless you want it in more than just one room, then go for multiple speakers a la M5/M3's. If you can get a Beosound Stage and two M5's then that takes the cake and you'll have an amazing tv and music experience through out your house. ** The M5's still WON'T give you surround sound or function as rear speakers though, they will play the same sound or something else all together.

No, you definitely don't need a subwoofer. You couldn't even add one if you wanted, but my friend Steve from soundsheavenly measured it and the Beosound Stage on it's own goes down as low as 18 or 19hz. That's basically the same as the older Beolab 2 subwoofer B&O used to make :D

@@Mikipedia Wow this is very impressive response. I need to do a demo soonest.

@@Mikipedia I had hoped that it can be paired to the beolab 19 Sub through wifi network. but i'm thankful for your clairification.

@@Beoliving I honestly don't think you need it, in the video I was in a ~100M2 space and there was bass everywhere and plenty of it too . Have a listen too and ask for a Movie demo and set the soundbar to the Movie preset, it shocked me literally....

@@Mikipedia will certainly do so this coming weekend. I hope my local stockist has one in the showroom for demo purpose. B&O gear tends to arrive late in my country. Kindly send me your email details please? I'm looking for a set of Beolab 5's to be shipped to my country (lifelong dream) lol

depends on what you want to do, so what do you want to do?

Listen to music and movie sound

@@perandersson9215 do you ever want more speakers or expand the system? Do you need your tv to move and point to where ever you are sitting?

No just soundwise comparision

@@perandersson9215 it's narrow but I prefer the Stage. But put a beolab 19 with and eclipse and I prefer the eclipse

To each their own, it doesn't need it imho so I am not bothered by it. I bought one and still love it every day :D

@@Mikipedia Well.. living with a quality sub makes me feel there is something missing BIG TIME without one.

@@patrikbjorling4391 Give it a try before judging it is all I can advise. It's really good for what it is, who knows, you may like it :p

sure but YT has a very annoying policy on copyrighted materials.

Maybe silly question, but do you like the Beolab 7 more looks wise, as David Lewis did that one? What did you think about the sound of the Beosound Stage?

@@Mikipedia yes D. Lewis designed the BeoLabs 7 family. I have not yet listen to this speaker.

Jacob Jensen design the best 👍

I think the stage is an amazing design. Understated beauty, not at all like other so called sound bars. IMO it’s the best thing B&O has released since Beosound 1 and 2.
