I'm more afraid of bringing the BS8 with iPad down.

There is no way that's happening. Neither one weighs very much.

There are at least two (I think) pictures (somewhere on Beoworld) of people's wall mounted BS8s

Just tried this. I don't see any issue whatsoever. Even when I forcibly wobble it it doesn't seem in any danger of bringing the wall down. Whatever that text is from seems overcautious.

“Because of the upright position of BeoSound 8 when mounted on the wall bracket and the size of the iPad, we do not recommend using the wall bracket for BeoSound 8 when the primary source is an iPad.

When you place an iPad in the dock, the iPad seems unstable for operation even when the support part is completely tightened. “

Peter :

You have an email - the wall bracket is not recommended with an iPad.

Peter, can't you comment on here? I was also looking at the Beosound 8 and the wall mount....plus own an iPad. I'd like to know if there are any issues, before buying.

That's a bit rubbish, but in your case if you have an airport express you would never need to dock the ipad anyway.

What sort of wall is it? Stone, brick, cavity, plasterboard?

I have a Beosound 8 and thinking of wall mounting the my pride and joy! I have heard rumours of issues with the weight of the iPad and bracket of the Beosound 8 with it becoming unstable. Anyone else had this issue?

Also - I have it connected to an Airport Express - wondering how to hide the wires. Anyone done this?

Thanks
