Hi guys,

Just wanted to share some of my new speakers at my restaurant Albatros.

Enjoy.

First BL8000;

The metal bases has been removed, and the speakers are bolted through the wooden shelf. (using the original bolt that was fastened to the metal base)

Second minty BL5000. 

I had custom brackets made, so that they are fastened to the wooden pillars instead of the wall.

Thanks for looking!

Brilliant The BL5000 bracket is clever!

If you ever feel a need to improve something, I would route the cabling of the BL5000s up behind the speakers, then to the side and down along the pillars - that way you could move the white cable channels away from the stone wall.

Agree with Mika, but a perfect place for the 5000s, and I love the 8000s way up there, just beautiful, congratulations.

Fantastic Andreas.  I like the way you mounted the 8000's to the shelf with the original bolt.  Also clever use of the pillars instead of the wall for mounting the 5000's.

Yep, and use black cables; then as soon as they reach the left resp. right white pole mount the cable channels to the white pillar instead; they will be more hidden...

Wonderful, a restaurant I would place a lot of tip in, no matter how the food tastes!

Andreas, that is impressive! Those 8000s look great on top of the bar, but those 5000s look absolutely stunning!!!! WOW.

Thank you Evan!

Well you are right about the wire covers, I'll change them at some point. 

Aren't the BL5000 the wrong way round?

Same issue I have with mine, shouldn't the 'speaker' side of the unit be in the middle and not on the outside?

Why??

You can hang whichever way you like. Just change the L - R switch on the back.

Isn't there meant to be a better 'spread' of the sound due to the speakers being further away from the side walls, so less 'bounce' back?

all non-teckie speak there! LOL

I can assure you the food is great too!

Who told you that !!!!!

If B&O thought that, they would not have put the  switches on the back?

The installation instructions say that you can mount them whichever way suits your fancy!

Exactly, I hung them this way (after testing both ways) because it looked more balanced with the painting.

You can hang whichever way you like. Just change the L - R switch on the back.

Switch the amp units as well and voila, a complete mixed Beolab 5000 like a real Mondriaan

That's going too far!
