[quote user="Stephan"] Is it decadent to use Beolab 5's as rear surround speakers [/quote] Hi Stephan, Having demo'ed out a 7.0 system with 7 BL5's back when we did the press release of the BeoSystem 3 in Struer some years ago, I would say that the answer is "no". :-) cheers -geoff

[quote user="Peter "] His reputation was well trailed by Lee who described him as a chap who could make the composition of a billiard ball sound exciting. [/quote] Hi Peter, Thanks for the glowing report! (My Mom was very proud when she read it. ;-) ) I enjoyed our chat as well! Now, however, I feel compelled to learn about the composition

[quote user="MightyQuinn"] Greetings Everyone My wife and I have talked about getting a B&O system for years, and yesterday we finally pulled the trigger and purchased the following: Beosystem 3 Beolab 9 (front channels) Beolab 7.6 (center channel) Now we need to decide on the rear channels. Seems like the Beolab 3, 4 and 4000 are the

[quote user="Emil"] All, Thanks for your valuable input. Geoff, many thanks for your comments. It would be really interesting to hear about your findings if you find the time to try the BL11 with the Montana shelf. Best regards, Emil [/quote] Hi Emil, Well...

[quote user="elephant"] [quote user="beoaus"] Do the BL3's really sound better with a BL11?[/quote] Not sure that the BL3s necessarily sound better themselves, but the BL11 cuts off at 33Hz whereas I believe the BL3 cuts off at 50Hz. (fyi BL2 is 23Hz-120Hz) [/quote] Hi, While all these numbers are true, they don't tell the

Hi, I would not expect that you would have any problems with mechanical coupling causing your shelf to vibrate. Whether you'll have an acoustical coupling that will cause things to rattle is another question entirely.

[quote user="sjmcguckin"] Hi Geoff, Is there value in AST if you have a simple BV7-40 and BL7.2 set up? Thanks for your advice. Stephen [/quote] Hi Stephen, If you have only the BL7.2 and no other loudspeakers, then you will not be able to turn AST on. AST requires that you have at least 3 loudspeakers connected in order to enable it (it will

Almost at random... make sure that you can view the TV screen from the viewing position.... Apart from that, it really doesn't matter where it is. :-) Cheers -geoff

[quote user="Razlaw"] Thank you very very much. I am still confused about a couple of issues. When in the set up menu and measuring all of the points from point A and B, one of the points measured to is viewing position.
