Hi All.

I am back after a long physical absence, although in spirit I have been here.

Being a Jacob Jensen fan, I have taken another step towards modernity by purchasing a Beovison 10-32 and Beolab 12-3. My query is how should these new purchases be placed and connected to my existing B&O? Currently, the Beosystem 7000 and MX-7000 is placed against the common wall separating the living room and bedroom. On the opposite wall facing the 7000 are the Beolab 4500 speakers. The BV 6-26 is in the bedroom, soon to be replaced by the BV 10 due to dying pixels on the BV 6 screen. Also in the bedroom is the Beocentre 2500, currently without any speakers.

Where should I place the BL 12-3 and BV 10?

One option would be to wall mount them on the wall opposite to the BV 10, which will also be wall mounted [hopefully] and connect the Beocentre 2500 [and BV 10?] to the BL-12.
Another option is to place both the BL 12-3 and the BV 10 on the same wall with the same connections as in Option 1 above.
A third option is to replace the BL 4500 in the living room with the BL 12-3 and connect them to the Beosystem 7000. The BL 4500 would be moved to the bedroom and connected to the Beocentre 2500.
A final option I am considering is to connect both pairs of speakers to the Beosystem 7000 [regardless of which room each set of speakers is placed] and sell the Beocentre 2500.

By the way, the flat is Hong Kong sized, meaning:

the bedroom is approximately 8 feet by 12 feet with a bay window measuring approximately 2 feet deep by 5 feet wide.
the living room is approximately 10 feet by 14 feet.
ceiling height of the flat is approximately 15 feet

Any comments or advice would be most welcome.

Finally, is the Beolab 11 needed to complement what I already have or is it more a matter of personal choice?

Hi Wings,

Too many options there without a diagram or layout!

If I had a BV10/32 for a smallish bedroom with a very high ceiling I would consider high wall mounting to get the TV out of the way for when walking around the room, and to make for easier viewing when in bed.
