I have been thinking of replacing my rear 4000s with a pair of 9s. I decided to connect my 9s in the rear to see how they sounded. Unfortunately I get a loud buzzing. My thought is perhaps the power link cable? My connection is as follows: Power Link from BV7 to in wall Panamax unit. That Power Link does not have a triangle on it (not a Mark 3?) That

[quote user="akoro"]I would say that BL12-3 is more like BL3 with BL11, it's that powerful and has great extension. [/quote] Interesting comparison. I had not thought of it that way.

I have had a pair of Beolab 5s at my house and I was not that impressed with them. They sounded different than the 9s, as they should. However, to my ears, in my house, different did not equal better.

Trip, how would you compare the center channel to a 7-4?

I would like to do 7.1 but my room is such that it would be very difficult to find places for the additional speakers.

What I feel like my system lacks is that it does not sound as good as it did when I was using my Beolab 1s as rears. Some would say that 1s as rears was a waste of them but the system sounded much better. Also, I am just in the mood for some new toys.

I am leaning more and more towards the threes. Would like another pair of 9s but I think they would look ridiculous on any sort of stand that would get them high enough.

Tweeter would be lower than the backs of the furniture.

I don't think the 11 would do anything with 9s either, would a need a Beolab 2 to get any effect/benefit from the .1 channel. The idea for the rear 11 was to connect in series with the rear speakers, not to the .1 channel. It would be connected as B and O subs are in a 2.0 system such that that the signal goes first to the sub which if I understand

Yes, it is a Beosystem 3 in a Beovision 7-55. My rear speakers are connected by powerlinks that are installed in the walls. I can not run a separate powerlink to the rear for a sub. That is why I was thinking of plugging the 11 into the wall outlet of the powerlink and then the 3 into the 11. As a result I thought I would need two 11s as the 11 would
