B&O Beosound A9 Speaker

Elevate your audiovisual experience with the B&O Beosound A9, a masterpiece of design and engineering. This iconic speaker system combines stunning aesthetics with uncompromising sound quality to create a truly immersive listening environment.
The A9's speaker housing measures 27.6 inches wide and 8.4 inches deep, and it stands 35.8 inches tall when the legs are screwed in. The bass on the A9 is intense without being over the top. It delivers a crisp, bright system, balanced out by powerful low-end, for sure, but it is the higher frequencies that own the stage.
