I hear a lot about BL3's and frankly speaking I might have to find a place for them somewhere - like Peter did(?) :-)

Hi saf

Well they are quite small, you should be able to squeeze them in somewhere...

Have a nice evening

I hope no one is offended.

No No, Clakke you simply speak your mind and a discussion can get as fine as people are willing to do just that, really. Now, my 'main' (taken over by the rest of my family) speakers are BL5's but I guess I just wanted to say that the 6000's can still sound great under certain circumstances (as others also pointed out). I also have BL8000, but what I think is more remarkable than that, is that I actually don't feel compelled to get rid of either! :-)

Personally, I would not be so harsh on them - if/when combined with a spare BL2. In that case one can be reasonably certain that this combination doesn't sound THAT cheap - at least not in terms of $ :-)

Hello

I hope no one is offended. That was not my intention. As I wrote, this is just a personal opinion when listening to different setups. However, it was possible to tweak or move around speakers when it come to Beolab 8000 or Beolab 3 to get an excellent result. That did not seem to be possible with 6000, but note that I did not try very much since the first impression was that this one was in a different class than 3 or 8000.

If people like Beolab 6000 and think they sound like the price tag, I accept that.

I own Beolab 8000 that I love, a friend of mine has Beolab 6000, and in his setting/room they sound great! I was really surprised as they do not have such a great reputation.

AGREED!

The poor little brother of the 8000 takes so many hits here! I have said before and I'll say it again... In the right room -there is nothing wrong with them. They are affordable, look great, and are wall mountable! Place them correctly and you have a stylish bargain.

6000 is a different story though. All setups I have heard have sounded really cheap. Typical like a 200€ speaker in a big store (El Giganten).

Congratualations. It seems that you picked the same system as I did a year ago. It seems to be typical swedish.

Just to be certain, I placed Beolab 3 in the kitchen/dining room as well.

I totally agree with you about the 8000, superb sound. It is however possible to get Beolab 3 to sound as good or at least nearly as good as 8000. Some in this forum think Beolab 3 is better than 8000. I suppose it would be possible too, but I have never heard a setup sounding that good.

6000 is a different story though. All setups I have heard have sounded really cheap. Typical like a 200€ speaker in a big store (El Giganten).

Good luck

For about 15 minutes a go,, I order Beolab 8000, Beosound 4 & Beo4!

A lot of money but it's a investment for many years to come....

The sound was like the design, beautiful.....

Another question?

There are small differences in specifications between the Beosound/Beocenter models!

Is it possible to hear the difference?

I do not want to miss a single thing when we buy our Bang & Olufsen products.

I like detail more than anything else and this is what the 3s give me. The 8000s are the most beautiful, but I have 3s. Not bothered about bass where they are though in a bigger room I can possibly understand.
