Hey guys

 

I just joined this awesome forum because i am in need of some advice. A family member didn't need his bola 4's anymore so i got them for free. I already have a beolit 15 and a small sub. All of which i am trying to connect together.

 

For now i have been using the jack plug on all of the speakers and used 3x jack plug splitters to split the audio output from my macbook into all of the speakers. Now i am not sure this is a good idea to do it this way.

 

Am i loosing sound quality by doing this? Will i ruin the speakers some way? What would be a better/cheaper solution, while keeping in mind that i am studying, and dont have that much money available to me.

 

Thanks for any advice or considerations.

Best Regards

Depending on whether you are using one, two, or three speakers, I would say yes you would get weird behaviours !

These are not exactly compatible devises. Are you trying to get some sort of surround sound? What kind of sub do you have?

Thanks for your quick replies, it is much appreciated!

I am connecting all the speakers mentioned above into the jack output from my laptop using splitters.
Alright so would there be a "correct" way of connecting them together?  

 

Well tbh i dont know much about speaker setups and such. At the beginning i thought of just using the bola 4's but i felt they lacked some deep tones so i tried to add these speakers to get a bigger range of sound. By all means i know this must sound stupid, but since i already had the other speakers i would try to combine them. The sub is a Phillips SPA5300(sub only).

 

Best Regards

I would recommend using either theBL4's and the sub, or just the BL15 alone. In my opinion the BL15 should be more than enough.

If it was me, I would sell the other stuff and get a second BL15, you can connect them in stereo, and the sound is rather amazing Big Smile

Very much bass if that is what you are looking for.
