Hello,

I just picked up a nice pair of Beolab 1's but I currently have the Beolab 8000's as my front channel. Any recommendations on what to keep? I have a beolab 2 as sub, beolab 7.2 as  center and Beolab 6000's as rear. Thanks,

Diggs

Is as front, 8000s as rears. They have a similar type of sound but !s are better. The Beolab 2 is great for surround sound but I find is bit boomy for music. I use mine with Pentas but listen to music on my M100s.

What the learned Gentleman above says!

Lab 1's with a Lab 2 are an awesome combo. 8000's at the back and you're away!

You are getting off lightly - I sold my sports car to buy the engagement ring.

Count yourself lucky. I know people who got divorced and had to sell every pair Wink
