I have a pair of BL8000 connected to the BeoSystem1, with the BL2 sub originally. However, I&#39;m impressed with the new ALT technology being able to produce a much more crisper, 3-dimensional human voice, so I added a BL 7-4 to my set up.</p><p>So far I&#39;m quite happy with this addition. I don&#39;t think I need to emphasise how awesome this set up perform in movies. But even when I play music&nbsp;in Speaker 3 mode, the 7-4 brought about vocals that stand out far more than what comes out of the BL8000 in Speaker 2 mode. Also the 7-4 in the centre means now the sound stage feels like the singer is standing right in front of me while the instruments play on the background.</p><p>However, it is not perfect yet. If I play in Speaker 3 mode, the BL8000 would play much softer (lower volume) than the 7-4, so the sound coming from the centre speaker is much more prominent than what comes out of the side speakers. That means during a song, the singer&#39;s voice in the center would be significantly louder than the sound of musical instruments that comes out of both sides. I would like a bit more balance on that front. However, I like Speaker 3 mode, as voice coming out of 7-4 is so much better than out of the BL8000 in Speaker 2 mode, even though the instruments are louder in Speaker 2 mode.</p><p>I did some finetuning with settings. I set the Speaker output to be slightly louder for the front left and right (I can&#39;t change the setting for the centre in Beosystem1?). That improved it quite a bit.</p><p>Do you have any other suggestions on how I can set this up so I can have a slightly more balanced volume and being able to play through all 3 speakers on the front for music? I&#39;ve also turned off Loudness, but I can&#39;t tell a huge difference. I&#39;ve also tried varying the Speaker distance, also not much effect.</p><p>Thanks in advance for your advice!!</p><p>Beomud</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
