If I connect the sub as suggested in here, will I get full bass? i.e. does the Avant send 100% of the bass signal to the front speakers?

I assume it does when set to Beolab 5 as there is no need for a sub with 5s.

I also assume full bass goes to both speakers, left and right, as the switch on the speaker determines left or right so there is nothing lost in taking the bass from one speaker, left or right?

We have a Velodyne HGS-12.

We do still want a Beovision 7 but will continue to use the Avant for now. Too expensive to do the Beovision 7 right after a pair of Beolab 9s, even with the great deal we got on the 9s.

To Razlaw:

By the way, do you have decided to get the new Beovision 7 or you will continue to use your Avant ?

Best regards,

Jean

Yes, I can too if the sub is connected to the sub out on the Avant. However, doing that sends all of the Bass to the sub and none to the Beolab 9s. I want to keep the Bass going to the 9s as their bass is superior to the subs, except for the very lowest frequencies which the 9 can not reach.

On my Avant I can control the Sub levels:-

MENU>SETUP>SOUND>ADJUSTMENT - SUBWOOFER (-10 to +10)

and speaker

MENU>SETUP>SOUND>ADJUSTMENT - BASS (-10 to +10)

Regarding connecting the sub "daisy chain" style to the 9, I take it you mean power link from Avant to one of the power link sockets on the 9 and then connect the sub into the other powerlink on the 9? We are using a Velodyne, not Beolab 2 but it should still work, shouldn't it?

Perhaps even better as the Velodyne has adjustments on it including volume?

Razlaw:
Sorry, how do I use the powerlink Y ? Do I connect it to one of the front speakers "out" on the Avant and the connect the sub and one Beolab 9 to it?

If you put the powerlink Y-cable in left or right output socket on your Avant. Then connect one Bl 9 to the Y-cable and then BL2 to the other Y-connector. then plug in the other BL9 as usually in the "right" output socket on your Avant.

One powerlink Y-Cable in the Avant will solve the problem!

This is exactly the same as connecting the BeoLab 2 to a daisy-chain output on either BeoLab 9, except results in a higher cost.
