Rear Speakers Recommendation
Hi everyone,
I have a Beovision 10 with a pair of Beolab 3 as front speakers and I am thinking about adding some rear speakers for a more surround experience when watching movies, which ones would you recommend.
I must add that I live in a condo so I can not go over the top in terms of sound power (is my humble understanding that the better the speaker the better it sounds at low volume).
It would be just for movies as I prefer to listen to music in stereo with the beolabs 3.
Thank you

Re: Rear Speakers Recommendation
People tend to say that Lab3s are wasted as rears, so you probably wouldn't like another pair working at partial capacity for the same price.
I would go 4000s or 4s.

Re: Rear Speakers Recommendation
I'd go for another set of Lab 3's or go for Lab 4000's which make good rear surrounds but with keeping with the Lab 3's you have matching speakers all round and the acoustic lens technology that your used too.
Bv7-55 & Bv7-32...Blue,lab1's x4,Yes4Blue, 6000x4Blue,Beocom6000 Blue,Beo5.Oh what a Blue set-up & a Beosound 5...After all,its Bang&Olufsen!

Re: Rear Speakers Recommendation
I would get the cheapest available. Second hand pair of BL4000s would be my choice. Beolab 3s will be only worth it if you have £3000 burning a hole in your pocket. I would actually get a BL11 first.

Thank you for all the recommendations.
Doctor, I find interesting your advice. I have a couple of question:
1) Have you heard at the BL 3s with a BL 11?. If so do you think it add some to the set-up?
2) Regarding the rear speakers, I must say that I agree with you about the BL4000s, my only doubt is if the BL3s will not overpower the BL4000s?

Re: Rear Speakers Recommendation
For a nice surround sound experience an other pair of BL 3 would be just burning money... a used pair BL4000 or Bl6000 will do the job perfectly, your mounting/placing preferences might help to make up your mind. So hopefully with the saved money you could place an order for a BL11.
However, if both are not in budget, I would invest in the BL 11 first!

Re: Rear Speakers Recommendation
I have just purchased a set of used BL4000 MK1, and I have BL9 as front, BL7-2 as center and BL2 as sub. I think the BL4000 fits perfectly into my setup.
I just listened to Toto Live in Cencert "Falling in between" using speaker 4 mode, that was actually a totally new and exiting experience. The BL4000 sounded great here also.
There is something about B&O.....

Re: Rear Speakers Recommendation
Thank you all,
So far very interesting. I would say that based on the posts I am leaning towards the BL4000 or the BL6000. Could someone tell about their experience with any or both of them.

Re: Rear Speakers Recommendation
The BeoLab 6000 often ends up firing into the back of the sofa as the drivers are only half-way up the column which often makes them next to useless IMO.
The BeoLab 3 is actually the most ideal speaker in the range as a rear - loud enough for domestic surround sound, and a VERY wide dispersion (something which is often the downfall of bad surround sound systems).
Saving that, the 4000 is also great as a rear speaker, and more suitable than the 6000 in (almost) every way...
