tom: Alex: Good point. Most people think the drive cones are either all the way up and down the 6000s, or just at the top. They're actually slap bang in the middle... I had the 6000s as front speakers for about a year, but now, as they have been moved to the back, I noticed that the position of the drive cones really matters, especially due to the

philipsmz333: Oh, the BeoVision 5 as a centre speaker not good enough for the BeoLab 5's? Oh well. I'm going to say, because this TV is SO BEAUTIFUL, I will put up with it, i don't care too much for movies anyhow, other wise i would have blown the $35000 on a BeoVision 9! Hmmm - I haven't heard the BV5 together with the BL5s, but it's

jandyt: BTW Chris, this is the combination he used. NOT Beolab 5000 actives but Beolab 5000 amplifier. Andy T. I can attest to the depth of sound in Frede's listening room, Andy. He was kind enough to play the same CD for me, when I was there. Wonderful soundstage. I loved the way his Beovox 2500 were mounted on the wall, above the Beovox 5000 "boxes"

britops: No the 4000's are on floorstands. They're still significantly higher up than the 6000s, remember? The two woofers on the 6000 are well below the level at which you have your BL4000s now. Most likely your 4000s are managing to reach over your furniture, delivering sound energy to your ears. While the 6000s were shooting into the back

britops: Razlaw: We have 6000s as rears with 1s in the front and they work wonderfully. We tried a set of 4000s also in the rear and found we preferred the 6000s. Opposite for me, I had 6000's as rears and swapped for 4000's which I prefer. Not surprising - can be a function of placement, materials in the room, better direction of the sound

ClausOslo: Hi there, About to buy myself a pair of BL5s and have a few questions. 1. Is there a problem using the digital output of my of my Sony DVD-player? If the output is S/PDIF (not Toslink optical) then you have no problem. If it's Toslink, then you have to convert it to S/PDIF. 2. Can I use the B&O remote to control the volum? Yes - and

philipsmz333: soundproof: Two in the back, and possibly another two - to either side if I decide to go for 7.1 (well, given that each BL5 has a subwoofer extreme, I guess that should be 7.2). But I think they're going to look great like that - and do a solid job. I am curious. The lower frequencies that are represented by the .1 are omni-directional

Peter: Not sure if the wall brackets will work so well horizontally! LOL A modification is probably required, but I think this is going to work out quite nicely - like having small BL3500s along the wall. And I'm going to be placing them so that the side and rear ones have their woofers closest to one another - that will concentrate the low end

As people here know I have some pretty set opinions on rear speakers in surround. So I won't go into those. (Phew!) But after Peter disclosed that the BL6000 come with a wall mount (see News here) I have been wondering about using these instead of BL4000s for my surround. As far as performance goes they're quite comparable in output, but I'm

There are lots of other brand video and sound processors out there, that would be wiser selections if you aren't going with the B&O speakers. I consider BeoSystem 3 to be a perfect solution to the needs of any home theatre owner, but that perfection really comes out when you connect B&O screens and speakers to it -- since the processor is
