Hi there

What are the differences i have beovision 7 with Beolab 7.4 underneath but im not sure i am so happy i think beolab 7.2 will look so much better expecially when i go for wall mounting or table mounting.

Does the 7.2 fit on the same stand (floor motorised one).

What one is better and finally does anyone wanna swap.

Hi there,

It sure is easier fitting the 7.2 if you decide to put the BeoVision 7 on a table..:)

The 7.2 fits on the same stand but you need a different bracket to mount the speaker on. When you go to the dealer make sure to tell him whether it is a BeoVision 7 - 32 or BeoVision 7 - 40 you have. The brackets are different..

 I would personally always go with 7.4 when having other speakers connected to the tv. If no others speakers are connected 7.4 will not sound very good, since it is a mono speaker.

The 7.2 is a stereo speaker and plays awesome. Especially  when no other speakers are connected. What colour is your 7-4?

Seanie,

Hopefully I can answer your questions. The biggest difference between the 7-4 and the 7-2 when not trying to over-complicate, really comes into play with how you use your TV. If you are putting the display on a surround sound set-up, then we would recommend a 7-4 as it is optimised both with cabinet and acoustics to perform for voice prodomently (what most people end up lacking a bit when used lets just say with a pair of BeoLab 4000's). The 7-4 is not limited to voice and is a great performer in both surround or by itself, but I have found if you are NOT going to put the BeoVision 7 in a surround sound set-up, in most cases you will benefit with a 7-2 more. The 7-2 will give you a true stereo left and right, where as the 7-4 is more mono (remember for voice). I think the performance of the 7-4 sounds so good because of the ALT lens which projects the highs more uniform and even in the room, similar to the BL9 or BL5. But in a stand alone set-up or even in a 3 channel mode you will receive better performance with a 7-2, unless your left and right are BL9 or BL5.....I know so many twists and turns:)    The stand is the same stand, however if you choose to go with a different speaker option you will have to purchase the holder for that particular speaker. If I remember correctly the BL 7-2 is a recessed flat type holder, where the BL 7-4 is lip hold type. You should be able to use the same power link jump cable and power supply though:)

hi there

thanks for your input and i do havea  surround set up, i just wonder if i wanted to put the tv on the wall or on a ssmall stand as i have really gone off the tall motorised stand as all you can see it wires even with the sock.

does anyone have pictures of the tv on a small stand or wall with a 7.4 where can the 7.4 go as it will just look sillt on the wall i think????

The 7-4 makes the BeoVision 7 look lighter, whilst the 7-2 (or 7-1 in the case of the 32" BV7) can make the TV look 'heavy' and actually a little larger than it really is.

I'd recommend the 7-40 wall bracket if your wall can take it! Excellent piece of engineering and very very cool when it's working. You can mount the 7-4 to the wall bracket too, and the BV7 display will angle vertically independently to the 7-4 which is on a fixed plane. They both turn left/right with each other though, and fully motorised!

Sonically, when using other BeoLabs in the setup, especially BeoLab 3s, 9s or 5s, the 7-4 will give very noticeable sound improvements!

Just like that! I prefer it with the 7-4 underneath personally, but it's all up to you, not us.
