Not sure on your setup but I was also advised to move my BL5&#39;s out from the wall as far as possible. I moved them about half a meter out and the increase in bass is fantastic.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Also the speaker I have in the corner never calibrates properly due to the sound bouncing back off the walls. I even had B&amp;O out to check it out. They can&#39;t do anything about it but just goes to show how important position is for sound.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/218302.aspxTue, 28 Jul 2009 08:00:41 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:218302saf0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/218302.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=218302<p>So I only need&nbsp;50pct of the data transfered to get a perfect digital signal?</p> <p>There must be a new niche then for a coax cable production facility in China!</p> <p><img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/02.gif" alt="Big Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/218264.aspxTue, 28 Jul 2009 03:16:49 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:218264Alex0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/218264.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=218264<p>The cables supplied with the BeoLab 5s are digital coax. Any 75 ohm digital coaxial cable will provide far more than the 50% data-transfer required for a perfect digital signal.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/218243.aspxMon, 27 Jul 2009 18:35:30 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:2182439 LEE0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/218243.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=218243<p>If B&amp;O have done anything amazing over the last 7 years, the BeoLab 5 is one of their crowning moments. &nbsp;Enjoy!</p> <p>I spoke to a cable expert a few weeks ago, who too was &#39;unimpressed&#39; with the cables they give out as standard with such world class speakers.</p> <p>Lee</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/218241.aspxMon, 27 Jul 2009 17:40:44 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:218241adrianb0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/218241.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=218241Hello all I&#39;ve now got my hot little hands on the Beolab 5s! They&#39;ve replaced a very well regarded Canadian hi-fi speakers of similar price and a valve-based OTL amplifiers. The BL5s were purchased for aesthetic reasons but I&#39;m really surprised they don&#39;t just look better but sound better. Bass control is amazing. Ability to keep up with dynamic changes. Detail resolution. Imaging... A little drier than the previous in the vocal range particularly but I think that&#39;s more accurate to the source. There is stil a little vestige of audiophile nervosa - those skanky coax cables that came with the BL5s need replacing with something like Belden 1694A. Cheers Adrian<div style="clear:both;"></div>
