Hi,
Only started buying B&O a few years ago. So far all I have is
BeoSound 9000BeoLab 6000Beo4 RemoteBeoCom 6000BeoSound 2BeoSound 6LC2 - Light Control
Current planned purchases are:
BeoVision 7-40 3D/Blue RayBeoLab 9Motorised High StandBeoLab 10
Optional BeoSound 5, Beo6, still thinking about these.
Plan is to use my existing BeoLab 6000 as rear speakers, and 2 new BeoLab 9 as front with the BeoLab 10 as centre mounted on the TV stand. (Would like the BeoLab 5, but budget does not allow it just now)
In total for all, with mounting brackets, Sky/Digital decoders... it should cost a little less then 20K Euro.
The TV and speaker setup I have viewed in a B&O shop. I also played around with the BeoSound 5, only for a short time but did like it. Any one got comments on the pro/cons of the BeoSound 5? I like the benefit off digital audio offered by the BeoSound 5, but can't bring myself to part with the BeoSound 9000 - so it would be in addition not a replacement.
Never used the Beo6, only held it in the shop - not sure about the design. The sales person did not like it and recommended that I stay with the Beo4. Anyone actually recommend it?
General comments on the TV/Speaker setup?
ThanksIan
BeoVision 7-40, BeoLab 9/10/6000, BeoCom 6000, Beo4, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound 2/6,
Congratulations - will be a great setup.
BL10 is the best center speaker I ever heard from Beo. I had BL7.4 for several years, but replaced it with the 10, while upgrading to BV7-40 MKIII.
BL9 are also great speakers, we have many discussions here in the forum about using a BL2 for the LFE (.1) channel, or let the BL9s do the job.So maybe you should plan a sub for the setup (?) BL6000 are ok for rears, but next step could be to replace them with BL3 to get an all ALT setup.
With Beo4 remote you can control all devices/functions in your setup. Beo6 makes sense, if you add a BS5. You can configur BS5 as no audiomaster, so you can use it in the same setup with BS9000.
BS5 is great system, especially with the new CD drive. It`s very easy to use, and with the new Beo6 two-way function you can browse your library directly from the remote. If you buy a Beo6 (I like this remote) you should also get the confg. tool to program the remote yourself - it`s not difficult.
Have fun with the new setup.
Stefan
Thanks for your input.
Since I already have the BL6000 I thought that I'd resuse them for now, will look at replacing them with BL3 at a later date (or what is available at the time I do the upgrade)
I'll see how the new setup sounds before I look at adding a sub, BL2.
I read some other posts in the Beo6 form, it seems to get very mixed reviews - both its design and ease off using the programming tool.If I go for the BS5 later then I'll probably buy the Beo6 as well.
Have to start somewhere, and upgrade over time.
