The question is what speakers, and how much should you spend on them. </p> <p>A good way of deciding is to set up your source (in this case the BV7) properly, and connect a pair of loudspeakers to the surround connections. Disconnect your front speakers L/R and center (C), and listen to a movie just through the rear channels. I think you&#39;ll be surprised at how sparse and usually &quot;thin&quot; the sound coming through your rears is, compared to the volume and weight of that going to the L/C/R channels.</p> <p>Having performed this test myself, I have BL3s for my rears now, but feel it&#39;s overkill, and that I should be able to have BL4000s there to very good effect.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/212945.aspxThu, 25 Jun 2009 09:48:59 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:212945Peter0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/212945.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=212945<p>By satellites I take it that you mean rear speakers. They do make a difference but in my view are the least important part of the system. For action films, they are noticeable but I have rears for one of my systems and not for the other and don&#39;t really miss them. I think the BV7-40 will take 7.2 sound now so I can understand why you are so advised! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/212922.aspxThu, 25 Jun 2009 07:45:21 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:212922takktakk0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/212922.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=212922<p>Hi guys and gals.</p> <p>I am waiting for my new BV-7 MK IV, hoping intensely that I will be more satisfied with it than the major part of you seem to be. It will just be standing here doing it&#39;s thing. Nothing fancy like linking or such as I use Apple stuff for that.</p> <p>It will be playing with 7.4, Beolab 9&#39;s and for the time being a borrowed BL 2. I also have a pair of BL 3&#39;s around, but I am doing something to the house and wanted to use it in another room.</p> <p>So, when I am watching movies my current MK II is told i do not have any satellites. And I am happy with that really. BUT - I was told by a dealer recently that the surround module of the MK IV is so greatly improved that it would be a sin not to provide it with satellites. Even just Beolab 4 he said. Anything goes, but do put something there....</p> <p>Does any of you have experience on this? Will the satellites rock my world in a manner I can not overlook? I know of course that with HD comes even more separation of sounds, but still...</p> <p>Any thoughts?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
