I have been using a pair of Beolab 4000 as center speakers for my TV for a few years and now I can get my hands on a 7.2 in mint condition at a very good price.

Any opinions on the difference in sound quality?

I think it is safe to say that the 7.2 is far more superior.

The stereo separation is more adjustable with the 4000's, but the 7.2 has way more bass and sound level.

I had both and like the Beolab 7-2 better. Mainly for looks, sound is about the same. Still using the 7-2, so that is what I would suggest.

Living Room: Beosystem 4, Beolab 7-2 (Center), Beolab 9 (Fronts), Beolab 8000 (Rears), no Subwoofer. Screen: Sony KD-85XH9096
Dining Room: Beosound Essence MK II with Beolab 4000 on stands, fed by Amazon Echo Show 8
Home Cinema: Beosystem 4, Beolab 7-4 (Center), Beolab 1 (Fronts), Beolab 4000 (Rears). Projector: Sony VPL-HW55
Home Office: Beosystem 3, Beolab 7-4, Beolab 5000, Screen: Sony KD-55XH9005 on Beovision 7-40 stand, ML to Beosound 9000 MK3 and Beosound 5/Beomaster 5 (1 TB SSD version)
Bedroom: Sony KD-65XH9077, Beosound Essence MK II with Beolab 6002 and Beolab 11 (all white, wall-mounted)

In storage: Beolab 5000/Beomaster 5000 (1960s).

Im using the 7-2 on its own and its impressive.

Why not get the 7-2 and use the 4000s as well ?

I just had the 7.2 picked up. Smile

Now I just need to find a decent av-receiver with pre-out and trigger...
