The difference between my first demo and this was astoundingly different. It is like a completely different product was demoed to me. As soon as I can afford it, I will be picking one up. (feb or mar)

Glad that everything turned out OK. Clearly some kind of config problem at your first demo! Enjoy.

Karel.

TheMajor:

did the sales person explain:

a) what they had changed between your visits, and/or

b) what went wrong last time

I went to the B&O store and had a good listen. I took some CDs (Norah Jones, Muse, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Eat World). The Beolab does make a big difference. I will be buying one soon.

Is wasn't bad at lower volumes but seemed to start to shine at about 44 (BS3200). After that Beolab 11 just took care of the low ends and the 4000s took care of the highs. They work amazingly well together and I think if your in my position (small apartment with no room for floor standing speakers) then the Beolab 11 and 4000 is are a great combo.

Harry2008:
can comment on using the BL11 with BL3's as well

yes, I have BL3s and a BL11 and as commented earlier I think it makes a real difference :-)

I will buy a second BL11 at some stage for our BL6000s

If you look in the flash your B&O thread, there is a picture from a forum member that has a set of beolab 3s hooked up to a beovision 8 and a beolab 11.

I'm on my way home from the demo now. This demo was........

I have to go to my Japanese class now. I will post some details later.

Is there anybody using the BL11 in such a setup? Most seem to use it hwith the BL6000 and or BL400 or 8000.

Controversial opinions. If i can add something to it is this. I think we all agree that someone let's say impartial, with a very large experience on av setups and a very big experience on B&O could make a statement on the BL11 when used with speakers from BL8000's and above. In my opinion Lee is the one. I think he can make a comment on this issue . Although i believe i know his opinion

@hotknife: again... BL8000's improve with BL11. If you don't believe me, contact my neighbors!

Setup is key when installing the BL11. So please RTFM when installing. I rest my case.

If people don't notice any improvement 1) the setup is wrong or 2)go see a doctor and let him check your hearing

____go see a doctor and let him check your hearing____

where have i read that before

If you owe the BL5 and you are still in need for a subwoofer, visit the doctor.

Agreed!!

BL11 is also connected to the surround module on my BV3-32... anyway.. I'm delighted with the the extra sound that's coming out of my 8000's/BL11 combo.

Karel,

I also could say ....again. I`ve asked in total 6 different people from B&O (shopowners and technician form B&O). I`ve listenend to both subwoofers in different shops.

Because I`m able to connect the speaker/subwoofer to the DSS-module of my 8-40, I´m able to adjust the subwoofer. If you have to plug both speakers into the subwoofer and the subwoofer has to pass the higher freqencies, it could be different, because somebody only has corner/wall/free stand.

Because I do not have the space, I was not able to buy a pair of BL9. So I went for the BL8002/BL2.

Of cause, everything is personal preference. In my case the BL11 would have been wasted money.

Again: Up to BL6000 go for the BL11, starting with BL8000/BL9 go for the BL2. If you owe the BL5 and you are still in need for a subwoofer, visit the doctor.

DrDimitris,

after you have drunken the coffee from Spirios, you will not be able to judge the BL11, because you are hypered

With BL4000 and up to BL6000, yes the BL11 would be a good subwoofer (better than you do not have any subwoofer). But you have a pair of BL8000. Imo, the BL8000 will not benifet from the BL11.

BL2 is for you the only solution, believe me. Come over to Germany and listen to the combination BL8002/BL2. A cold bottle of lager (not coffee) is waiting for you
