so if i buy a beosystem 3 i can use my philips tv with b&o surround setup

Yes and you could at any stage add a projector and switch between the TV and Projector with your remote.

This is how i have my setup with a Pioneer Plasma and a Sony projector.

I use the Beosystem 3 to connect all my periferals. PS3, HD set top box/pvr, Apple TV and Bluray player.

I also use this for both the plasma and a HD Projector in the same room.

I would have bought a BV9 instead of buying the BL9's and a BSYS3...

I really enjoy my movies on the big screen so the projector gets most of the work. I wouldn't so no to a bv4-103 but that will have to remain a dream (short of lotto)

It must be the BL5s! I think it's interesting that you didn't put them all into the one 7.1 setup in the end ... Instead, it seems you placed them around the house to create listening/watching zones, right? Did you try 4 or 6 BL5s in the 7.1 setup prior to your decision to go for BL9s/BL3s as side/rear speakers instead?

No i was advised by the dealer that B&O's recomended setup is the 5's, 9's & 3's with a center. Some would possibly think this is overboard with the 9's but i am rapt with it.

I wish i could afford 6 BL5's in the theatre setup, but a little beyond me at this stage. What with the upkeep of the wife and all!

Well spotted Luke

That's maybe easier to set up with (only) the BC2 and the BS9000.

A beocenter 2, a Beosound 9000 and a Beosound 5??? Are you having some trouble to listen to the source you want? I didn't know it was possible to add so many sources in a one room setup!

The Beosound5 was only in one picture... so I assumed he was testing it maybe?

Nice setup. Love the Pioneer plasma, and of course, all of your B&O stuff. Would be great to see it again when you're all done (if you're rebuilding).

I would love to hear that setup, the speakers you have in that config would be awesome to watch and hear blu ray. Which blu ray player are you using?

Hey, have you seen http://www.cnet.com.au/top-20-must-have-blu-ray-discs-339295891.htm

Not to woried about the cable sock at this stage as we are rebuilding before the year is out.

I previously had the BL5's front, BL7.2 Centre and BL3's Rear. I have just added the BL9's as middle for the 7.1 surround. The sound was amazing before, now is it mind blowing when playing Bluray uncompressed.

What the pictures do not show is the screen that drops down infront of the plasma and a HD projector.

I like !

You need some cable sock though. It will do wonders !

You have a BC2 and BS9000 !!

How are the beolab 9's with the lab 5s ?? which did you have first? or did you get them all together.

We are considering some speakers for the back.... with Lab5's currently in the front.
