Mates,

I have a friend who has recently acquired a BS3,BL9s, and BL3s. . .

He did not pick up a center channel and is trying to decide. . .as with most things.. . money has become an object after the above stated acquisitions.

I have been helping him to look for a center speaker but have recommended a set of BL4k (second hand) as a center unit. . 

Any thoughts on the BL4k pair versus a 7-4?

I realize the 7-4 would match the ALT from the other speakers. . but, has anyone used this setup(or something similar) that they care to comment about?

I'm curious is the BL4k's can keep up with the ALT speakers. ..

Thanks

Hi, There has been a similar thread recently about the same topic. I have just been through the same issue myself, I went for a beolab 7-4 only because it was a good price! The 7-4 is a dedicated centre speaker so is perfect for the job, but I reckon that a pair of 4000's would be good also! I think its al about what comes up at the right price at the right time, Cheers Nick

Having listened to Nicks 7-4 I can say that the sound quality is quite simply stunning.

Would I pay £2,500 for a center spaeker? No.

Would I buy one second hand for a bargain price? Absolutely.

Cheers
