    Very nice interior

    Came across this French interior designer Olivier Lempereur and saw one of the interiors that he designed and features a BV5, BC2, BL2, BL5 and BL3s + a lot of other link products.

     I have to say this is one of the most beautiful integration of B&O products that I have seen...only thing is the placement of the BL5s...I think the lounge is a bit too close

     Thought I would share my thoughts...

    Looks nice, but a little to crowded IMO. I had to look very closely to detect the BL5s. I prefer rooms with less furniture.

    looks to me to have had quite a concentrated theme of straight clean lines until the beolab 5s and beocenter2 were introduced to the room, which is a startling contrast of curves, 

    in my opinion the only stereo and speakers from the last 20ish years that dont suit the original concept of the room,

    b+o do the clean straight lines better than anyone, it just looks wrong to me,

    each to thier own, and thankfully were not all the same or wed never experience variety

    always nice to see b+o in new setting though

    Damn these interior designers!

    Agree with Jay here, lots of nice lines and then the shapes of the B&O stuff kind of ruins the form in a way... stunning as it is a pair of lab1s or 8000s would have looked so much better.

    Spot on Tom - way too much going on, maybe losing two sofas would make it into a fantastic room.. not that I would complain if this was mine anyway!!

    Re: Very nice interior

    It is a beautiful room! Like others mentioned above, I don't think I personally would choose to have that much furniture, but maybe the needs of the room demanded it.  Maybe it's a hotel lobby or something?

    And contrary to opinions above, I don't actually disagree with the design statement of the BeoLab 5s in this room. There are horizontal lines in the Acoustic lenses of the Lab 5s that work well with other horizontal lines in the room, and the form of the Lab 5s is simple enough that they don't argue with the furniture and architecture.  There are some round lines in the sofa cushions and the lilies on the coffee table, and I think that gives some credence to using some round lines in the speakers.

    I do, however, disagree with the placement of the Lab 5s from a sound quality perspective.  In this room, crowded as it is, it would be rather hard to get floor speakers to sound good at all. As it is, the speakers are crunched behind the sofas; the sound would be quite hindered. I think several pairs of BeoLab 4000 in series on the walls would have been a much stronger choice. 

    ...my two cents ~AJ

    A waste of a pair of BL5s.

    Re: Very nice interior

    Now, as I look to the picture of the room once more, another questions occurs: Is the postion of the BL5 any good in this room, or are these speakers so good that they can handle this?

    Re: Very nice interior

    The highs and mids would be distributed well, but I can see how the bass would be a bit wallowy. All sub-bass and very little detail as far as the upper bass driver goes will result in kinda dull bass with no upper-kick to it. Kinda like a Bose system, except the frequencies which are there do actually sound quite nice...

    Re: Very nice interior

    in my opinion there are several mistakes concerning the speakers positioning... like soundproof said it's a waste of BL5s.

    there is no space around the bl5s, the room is too crowded and you only can see a tv program when the curtains are closed; another thing is the user positioning, you'll never be in the center of the stage.

    definitely is not my kind of room.

    Re: Very nice interior

    Just spent more than a week in the ARTS hotel in Barcelona Smile

    All rooms equiped with B&O: standard bed rooms have BL4000, BV6 26 plus BC2..... at least....

    rest of the hotel fully equiped with BL4000 or BL6, BL8.....

    really best decorated hotel I know in spain!

    Re: Very nice interior

    Kudos to the designer for trying to mirror both sides of the room by the placement of furniture and art, however like what some people have said it does come across as slightly too corporate looking. Reminds me of the QANTAS Club in Sydney, albeit with better furniture and electronics and no darn mini pies.

    Dear All:

    I will echo others--too much going on.  Personally, I am more into mid-twentieth centure furniture, minimalist and comfortable.  If you took away some othe pieces, sound and appearance would improve.

    But you can choose! Music for the left ear or music for the right ear, depending on which side of the room you choose to sit ... Devil  It's a silly arrangement of sofas.

    Re: Very nice interior

    It is, our TV room but still a work in progress which is still needing a decent rug, TV unit and coffee table... we're pretty proud of how well all the B&O matches though! Big Smile
