BV 7-40, 4 speakers and a sub, not easy

Hi guys,

I’m struggling a little bit with my setup, so I come to you as usual to find a solution.

I’ve upgraded my setup recently, replacing my Encore with a BS5, and linked it to a BV 7-40.

All my speakers are connected to the Beovision, a BL11 for sub, and a pair of BL3.

Everything works fine, the BL3 are defined as center speaker, and BL11 as Sub on the BV7.

Here comes the problem. I have a pair of BL 4000 that I want to use as rear speaker. Since the BL3 are defined as center speaker, impossible to select the BL 4000 as rear. I setup a phantom pair of front speaker, and I was able to configure the BL4000 as rear left and right. In Mode 5, everything was working good for TV watching.

BUT, when I decided to listen to the BM5, I had an horrible sound too much bass and unclear. I tried to change the BL3 role, and defined them as Front, with no center (a phantom one), It works better for music, but then as you can imagine, no sound on the voice channel when watching Movie…. Grrrr…

Since I have no place to add a center speaker under the beovision (Wall mount above a furniture) Do you have any idea ? Or, any non-BO and good looking center speaker of less the 10 Cm high that I could use with a beolink passive ?

Thanks for your comments,

Best regards

Eric
