yep - nothing beats a big soundstage, with depth, space and a sort of effortless sound - particularly for music ...great results can be had, somehow greater than the sum of the two pairs ....heard this in a few rooms, and I have to say, I would try this before putting in rears every time.

100% Correct, perfect description. This is a great way to listen and I hope many people try this - you won't regret it!!

DJ,I agree with you. My large system is setup with 4 three-way main loud speakers. I have to say - the soundstage/image is absolutely incredible. I would suggest to anyone with an extra pair of speakers do this.My new favorite entertainment is watching concerts on DVD, I feel like I'm there.

Really good two /three channel is better than average 5 channel....a bit of movement round the room is fine, specially for sfx, but its still not as good as a HUGE sounding front L c R set up.....assuming its a choice of one or the other....obvioulsy adding rears to a LL c RR set up would give you the movemnt front to back as well.

Those Beolab 8000's look fab with the Beovision 10. Very nice setup.

"Daisy chain" them as secondary left and right speakers alongside the lab8000's ...you may be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I´m not sure why a "daisy chain" would benefit the sound. Sounds awkward to hear e.g. a door squeaking to the left, also squeaking behind you to the left.

Hi Claes,

I mean use them where they are - if you put them behind you, then certainly you should set them up as rears

But my initial point is the left and right channell can come from multiple speakers, to give a wide /enhanced soundstage, such as you now have with the arrival the 8000's ...it may seem counter - intuitive, but actually not unknown, and not too far removed in principle from the idea behind the new Sound system in TV's that spreads sound around multiple speakers.

Thanks!

Agree regarding regarding prizes and pictures. Maybe a "Sticky thread" that stays on top of the forum. I´ll check with Lee.

Great setup Claes! I bet it seems quite hard to imagine it without the 8000s now.

Daisy chain

If you do daisychain them as Dave suggests, I'm not sure if the 3s or the 8000s have two powerlink sockets, you might need a splitter.

Yep, will eventually try the Lab3:s as rear speakers.

However, it feels little bit as a vaist, since the will play relatively little as rears.

We have similar layout, with other kit.

Had Lab 40000 up where the lab 3 is in the picture..as L&R speakers...... so when we got some lab 6000, initially they went on the floor either side of the TV...with a view to moving the "rears" from the top left & right corners.

Never bothered - it sounds great - the rear channel for films is still OK, strangely - maybe an acoustic trcik like thoose sound-bar , all in one dolby speakers...but, for music, in speaker 4, it sounds great.

There soundstage is massive, and tonally it really suits the folky/acoustic stuff we mainly listen to.

So...try it for a bit...

Looks very good.

As you said you need some cable-work ;-) Thank god it is only 2 days to the weekend

Actualy concerning your list of products own I was wondering what you are doing with your BeoLab3. Maybe they are moving into the rear for some DDS?
