The Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage is a high-end 3.0 system. This one-of-a-kind soundbar is made of high-quality materials and can be turned so it sits up on your table or faces out when mounted on the wall. It sounds a little bit boxy and lacks low bass right out of the box. But its powerful companion app has a graphic EQ and presets that let you change the way it sounds.
It also works with Dolby Atmos, but to play it, it has to downmix to stereo. Depending on how the bar is set up, your mixes might sound a little limited, and it doesn’t have a room correction feature to help make the sound better. On the plus side, it has a lot of wired and wireless inputs and connections. This is a good option if you want a setup that looks high-end and performs in a variety of ways that you can change.

Where to get Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage Wireless Multiroom Soundbar?
Most of the pictures on Bang & Olufsen’s website show the soundbar mounted on the wall, and it’s hard to argue that it looks a little more interesting with the cloth grille facing forward. This is made even better by the small gap between the grille and the frame, which makes the grille look like it’s floating. (In the app, you can choose whether it’s mounted on the wall or sitting flat to get the best sound.) It can also be mounted on a floor stand, which costs an extra $800 and has a universal VESA 300 by 300mm mount.
Behind the grille are four 4-inch woofers, four 1.5-inch full-range drivers, and three 0.75-inch tweeters. Each driver has its own 50-watt amplifier. The woofers are set up in pairs to the left and right of the center. Two full-range drivers and a single tweeter are in the middle, pointing straight ahead. At each end, there is one full-range driver and one tweeter, both angled slightly to accommodate Atmos audio and wall-mounted or tabletop placement. The frequency range of the drivers is from 32 Hz to 22 kHz. The soundbar works with Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD, and the Bang & Olufsen app lets you shape the sound to some extent.
