Love it Michael, great video. I knew you'd like BeoSound Stage! It is pretty awesome. Looking forward to part 2. John.

[@Mikipedia]

Like it? I LOVE the bloody thing! The Beosound Stage is sooo good, I am so happy it's finally here as it's an excellent product and very powerful especially for it's size! Doesn't need a subwoofer imo

[@user-sk9lh5ng9w]

Can I use original remote control on sony tv? Or it works only with LG panels?

[@VishrutIyengar]

@@Mikipedia How does it compare to the AMBEO Soundbar?

[@Mikipedia]

Tim Dohov The B&O remote will only work in conjunction with the LG TV’s, the regular remotes will just keep on working with other tv brands and you can use the app for the settings otherwise.

[@Mikipedia]

Vishrut Iyengar I don’t fully know as I don’t have one and I can’t find a store where it’s quiet enough to even get a decent idea of what the sennheiser is capable of. One thing I do absolutely know is that the Beosound Stage is waaaay better looking and also quite a bit cheaper, last time I looked the sennheiser was almost twice the price too.

[@Mikipedia]

Hi everyone, BIG thanks to B&O Ter Horst in Utrecht for making this possible!!! links to all his things are in the description, so if you could do me a favour and subscribe to his insta, facebook etc that would be wonderful of you! Also, don't forget to tell me what you think about the new Beosound Stage down here in the comments, are you getting one? If you could spare me like that would help me out a lot and subscribe because the next video will have even more Beosound Stage music in it and soundtesting :D

[@farhadshakiba]

Thank you for making this video. Your demonstration of the mounting bits for the screws saved me a ton of trouble. It’s a shame B&O didn’t ship a proper wall-mount instruction video.

[@Mikipedia]

how do you like your Stage? I just bought one for myself too and will make some more videos on it obviously :D

[@YavNe]

No f-ing authorized technical service to montage your products for you. 🤣

[@puttypiss]

I currently have a BOSE soundbar and i am very happy with it but the B & O is another level.

[@YavNe]

What about Yamaha, Sennheiser or Sonos then? xddd

[@lukamarkovic7500]

Perfect soundbar that doesn’t need a sub...gorgeous to look at...the only thing that’s a letdown is the atmos part...any equalizer settings to change to get a more immersive experience?

[@Mikipedia]

Depends a bit on your room, but in ''listening modes'' you can tune a bunch more stuff if you make a custom setting. Have a try and see where you end up :)

[@soundsheavenly]

Great video Michael! I am off to hear the Stage on Friday at B&O Cambridge, I am looking forward to it. The wood trim looks as though it would work well with classic B&O music systems as well as being a TV sound bar ;-)

[@Mikipedia]

I bet you you'll like it a lot, it can really punch and doesn't need a subwoofer, next video incoming :D

[@Allanwify]

I got one the other day, must say its great value for money. Watching movie or just some Discovery makes a whole new experience. This is the way to go B&O.

[@Mikipedia]

Congratulations, glad you like it, I love mine too :D

[@Allanwify]

@@Mikipedia Everyone should get a Stage, worth every penny

[@anitahasbo7141]

Good and inspiering video. Love B&o

[@Mikipedia]

Thank you Anita :D

[@paulstein9258]

Next day. I made the HDMI ARC connections. My Direct TV remote worked perfectly. No pairing or going into the TV menu needed. It was already setup for my Sonos Playbar. I’m using it on my Samsung TV. Also works perfectly when I switch to the Apple TV on a second HDMI. I will look for the cable cutouts you mentioned. Instructions and the App are a disgrace. I had never used HDMI ARC before, and would have been lost on the connections if I didn’t have my Sonos Playbar Ethernet connections to follow. The Playbar doesn’t have HDMI but the Ethernet setup was identical.

[@Mikipedia]

Good to hear all is good now :D

[@Uzrdinma]

Most soundbars you see come with a woofer for extra bass. Does this single component pack all the bass?

[@Mikipedia]

Oh good god yes, and then some. It's literally like no other, it really goes above and beyond!

[@irarubinic7014]

Hi! Great review.. question: i have an open space 50sqm. Is the integrated bass enough for the open space? I had before a Harman K enchance 1300 + sub and the sound was full. Im worried due to the biggest size of the room and open space

[@Mikipedia]

I'd say so yes. This was filmed in space that is around ~110m2 and even 10 meter away the bass was very full. I have mine in my bedroom which is around 16m2 and it's such overkill that we barely ever even approach 50% volume. B&O benchmarked it to out compete the sonos playbar and sub together and I think they did just that :D

[@HookahChinois]

Hi great video, I need some information about it. This sound bar is more for movie and tv ? what about for audio listening ? Is it suitable for ? Or is it better to have for example KEf Ls50 with amplifier ? Thanks

[@Mikipedia]

It's for both and you get the best result if you choose the correct sound preset. the movie and music sound preset change the sound of the Stage wildly and it sounds amazing in both instances in that case. I have no experience with the kef's but this sound bar truly does it all in a much smaller package. hope that helps?

[@artistadrtm]

KEF will most certainly outperform in the music section, but not in movies, as each product is optimised for different things.

[@paulstein9258]

Bless you. After posting, I looked for the cutouts you spoke of. I missed them. They were there, as you said. This is another problem with poor instructions. Now I can make my wife happy and not wall mount them. I would prefer a wall mount.

[@Mikipedia]

You're very welcome and glad you found them! and lol, happy wife happy life :p Have a look at www.stbbrackets.co.uk/en-GB/product/BeoSound-Stage/BeoSound-Stage-Low-Table-Stand maybe that'll make her happier? the preset for laying it flat also works well btw, if it's lower there is next to no difference in sound performance, but this bracket may look cleaner :)

[@paulstein9258]

If you get the app working, I finally did, there is a setting in the app. You click vertical or horizontal. Again, no instructions. One minor issue, still. When I turn on my TV, the speaker takes 30 to 60 seconds to start. You can get up and push the buttons. During that period, the TV speaker shows on the TV. The B&O then takes over and shows on the TV screen. One thing I discovered and it’s great. I got a few google nest minis. I have a subscription to google play. In setting the nests up, I names them. In searching for devices, the Google Home app identified the B&O. I named it family room. I just tell the nest to play whatever I want on “family room.” Fantastic. No messing with Bluetooth.

[@milodsouza5713]

Great review will try to get one . What was that bass track you played . I want to add it to my speaker testing playlist

[@JMTZS]

Hello I don't know if you have heard the sennheiser AMBEO, is this better sounding?

[@Mikipedia]

I have, but only in a big and busy store so I can’t really judge it on that basis unfortunately. This one sounds absolutely amazing though :D

[@mrsmusic6396]

Hi, first of all thank you very much for your demo.. I am looking forward to buy the beosound stage for my lg oled cx, can you tell me some more about it. Are you still happy with it? Its it enough for film and streaming music? Will you make some more videos with the soundbar. Thank you ver much, i can't find enough footage of the soundbar and i like yours. Thank you. I hope you will ready this and maybe you can help me.

[@Mikipedia]

I did another video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn-UdHadobRne7c I am very happy with it, it's a great piece of kit and it very impressive sounding. I would say it's more than enough for films and music! And I will make more videos with it soon :)

[@yash94]

Hello there I am confused between sonos Arc (with sub and 2 sonos one gen 2 ) And beosound stage -2 Which one would be great for home .? Can anyone help me Thanks in advance

Sonos is probably fine for home use too but I like B&O more personally.

Hi Michael just curious does this create a rumbling sound same as with a subwoofer?

Yes it does, i currently have one shaking me in my bedroom :p

[@rodieme1155]

[@dietercabral]

Does it have a remote?? or do you use it with your tv's remote?

[@Mikipedia]

You can use the remote of the TV, but if you have an LG tv you have the option to buy a beoremote 1 and use that for everything if you want. but you don't have to.

Are they still making recievers. The last time I was in a store years ago way back it was a big long metal piece . And you didn't have to touch anything to open just hover your hand over to open 140 watts .. coolest thing I ever seen

[@Mikipedia]

I know of what people would perceive as receivers they made, but I can't think of any in the last 10 years that actually had speakers attached :p Unless you're talking even longer than that ago? :p The still make stuff like that but different and I am not sure you can call them receivers anymore :p Any idea what it was called?

@@Mikipedia beomaster or beocenter I looked completely aluminum just a piece of metal .. looking at it you would have never known it was a reciever to play music .. I was 5000 at the time and the matching speakers for it at the time were hexagonal metal also 5000 at the time

@@guystevenson1046 Ah yes, that's a bit longer ago than I expected :p Probably a beomaster/beocenter 9000 at that time with Beolab Penta's at the time. Although the penta's were discontinued more or less at the end of the 90's. The don't make stuff like that anymore, atleast not like that as nobody uses tapes/cds/vinyl much anymore it seems. but you can still get them second hand and I bet you it'll work just fine. That era of stuff was waaaaay overbuilt and is very hard to destroy :p

How do I go about looking into that

[@bcrerste]

Can you please tell me if the wooden Stage in your unboxing is "smoked oak"? I'm asking because it doesen't look "smoked", just plain oak. If this is how the smoked oak really looks like, then I'll order one. I'm just afraid that your unit is an older finish which has been discontinued...

[@Mikipedia]

This is the smoked oak one, the label on the box says so too at 3:38. I don't think the pictures on the website make the colour out what it seems to be irl. I don't think any colour has yet to be discontinued besides the special editions.

[@bcrerste]

@@Mikipedia Thank you for the reply! What version do you think looks better and more... luxurious - wood or bronze tone?

[@Mikipedia]

@@bcrerste The wood personally, you could also always go for a standard one and add a Prestige Creators cover like I did here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKOWn31qmraMm80 but if not then I'd go for the smoked oak B&O one :)

[@nameless5r]

I wonder, this or Sennheiser 🤔

[@paulstein9258]

Hello again. Since vertical mounting this on the top shelf is out, due to the unbalanced speaker, I contacted B&O to ask if laying it flat degrades the sound. They replied, contact a dealer and have an installation tech come out. More $$$$. By the way, my review is now published on Amazon.

[@Mikipedia]

I can't find your review or any for that matter. And I sent you the link for the vertical mounting options for on a table that is stable and very well made, it's up to you where you want that or not. The Beosound Stage is not made out of the box to stand up straight by itself, it's either for hanging on the wall straight and or lay flat on a table. In both ways you can set it up for which ever way and the DSP will change the sound direction and speaker usage accordingly, the sound will stay the same in almost all cases with in a few percent and that's basically inaudible. You don't need a dealer to do any of this, so there are 3 choices: 1- get the vertical mounting bracket from STBbrackets and have it how you say you want it. 2- wallmount it so it's up straight. 3- have it lay flat. It's up to you to pick one.

[@paulstein9258]

My review is on Amazon sound. It was held up until it went on sale. The full app finally and mysteriously showed up on my IPhone. In the App it asks it it is being used tabletop or wall mounted. I pressed the tabletop button. Couldn’t B&O have told me that? In the vertical position, used as a soundbar, the sound is much better as it is directional. In the horizontal position, used for music, it doesn’t make any difference. Nice fill the room sound. I am using the Ethernet connection. Someone mentioned it has some internet music streaming. One time, during hookup, I apparently got the internet streaming and heard a non English speaking voice and some music. Can’t find any instructions on getting them. Not a real problem. I subscribe to google for my music.

[@Mikipedia]

@@paulstein9258 They did tell you that, many times. In all the material it's either wall mounted or flat on it's back called table top. Nowhere is it ever showed as standing on it's side ever. I don't know why you would stand it upright anyway on a decorative piece anyway in case of scratching etc. and if you ever change the direction you have to look at a scratch... Also the table top stand I sent you from STBbrackets consists of a metal stand with bolts to mount it solid in the back and two rubber feet for the ends to keep it level(just in case), so not very cheap and not very accurate. Also the reason screws are not provided is that not all walls are the same and if you use wood screws in gypsum/plasterboard, for instance, they will corrode over time and then it could just fall off the wall at some point. And yes, Internet streaming is built in. You can use Chrome cast, Airplay, Deezer, Qplay, Bluetooth and TuneIn. TuneIn is a free internet radio service and Deezer/Qplay are like spotify so that explains itself. You can control them all either via the app or with TuneIn you can select your favorite station and it'll start up automatically when you switch to that source. In the app at the bottom of the product page there is even a tab for a whole expanded support page/user manual.

Thanks, I wanted to know the television brand too. Also, I have been a B&O fan since the the late 80's and have made many buys, Beosound 2500, 2 Besound 9000's, 2 pair of Beolab 6000, RX2 turntable. H6 headphones, Beosystem 7000 receiver and cd. Looking forward to seeing the Stage in person. And honestly to me, I think the price is a steal for a B&O product in my opinion and purchase history with B&O. I'm sure I will purchase one before the price increases.
