Thanks for the IMHO. It is good to hear positive feedback on the BL8000's. I would love to hear the BL3000's but not sure that opportunity will come up. I would assume that For Sale area in the forum or eBay would be good places to look for pre-loved speakers?

Appreciate your and other forum users feedback on this.

Regards,

Jeff

The BL 3 have a Great Sound for a such a small speaker and think you will be surprised if/when you Listen and the BL8000 are good too if your after something a little Bigger and the thing is try before you buy.

Let YOUR EARS do the Listening and good luck what ever you do!

I would suggest a pair of B&O speakers to, but if you want a non-B&O pair I should buy passive speakers. Just connect a power amp to the powerlinks and you can choose out of 10000000 other speakers.

The B&W XT series will look fine and so wil some of the Revox or Piega's speakers.

Welcome to the forum !

JeffreyIEvans:

For the past 18 months I have had a Beosound 9000 sitting in my living room, and no speakers connected - I know a crime in itself.

So, please don't believe everything you read, cos in the terms of speaker it is always personal opinion ....

First you should hear before you buy ! and choose what suits your ears the best !

For me, I would always suggest B&O speakers for BS9000!

Music that you will be listening is a perfect for BL8000 !!! You will read from most of reviews that is lack of bass in BL8000... IMHO that is not true. I have BL8000 and listening almost same music like you are and they are perfect !!! I use them without sub and sound is beautiful in my taste !

You can go for also for BL3, they are really good with AL technologies and little cheaper than BL8000.

I will not suggest you BL6000.... they are small and sound is realy lack of bass !

So, try before you buy, and good luck

Try to considerate BL3 ! They are really amassing ! and not that expencive !

Non B&O Speakers for Besound 9000

For the past 18 months I have had a Beosound 9000 sitting in my living room, and no speakers connected - I know a crime in itself.

Anyway I have been looking at what speakers would be best for my situation and frankly I'm more confused now that when I started. I am looking for good value speakers that will be used for a range of music from Jazz: Nina Simone, John Coltrane,Oscar Peterson et all, through to Rock & Pop - think Lilly Allen meets AC/DC.

I love the look of the BeoLab 6000 & 8000, but reviews have been unkind and price wise a little steep (I spent all of my budget on the BS9000). Posts to the forum suggest B&W XT and the TP Tube a good alternative.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts and comments on speaker selection (also if you think the reviews of the BeoLab 6000/8000 are not a true reflection on the speakers)

Regards

Jeff
