carlito: Moved to a new appartment and changed the approach - No TV (used my Beovision 6-26 MK4 very rarely) and all electronic devices are hidden away. I know that my taste of interior design is not common. For example - in my leisure time i’m wearing shoes without socks (as you can see in the Beoplay A2 advertisement).The BL5 in Option 1 are connected via SPDIF from the Cambridge DACMagic Plus. Itunes on the MacMini can be controlled from an idevice. The hidden BeoCenter 2 is only needed to distribute Masterlink to the Beolab 3500 in the bedroom. For Kitchen and bathroom the Beoplay A2.

Living room with BeoLab 5's and no TV - I'm a fan!
Also - BeoLab 5s in an apartment?! There is hope!

Hello
Not full BO
65 inch UHD samsung TV - BS5 encore - BL8000 connected via a DIY magic box to the BS5 for the music and to a denon AV for the movies.
The rears BL6000 are connected to the Denon via Powerlink cable to the pre-out - BESOSOUND 2- BEOSOUND 2500 for my wife still working every days. the BS9000 work fine too but not connected.
next step a BL11. thank for your advices.
we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
"You think we can slap some oak on this thing?"
leosgonewild:That looks really good, Archie! Is that black thing in the corner for better acoustics? Have you considered moving the BS9000 onto the wall next to the BS5? It looks a little hidden away where it is. It can of course also be the camera angle. Such a beautiful piece should be out in the open I really miss mine. Never seen the BS5 mounted that high before. I guess you don't have to bend your back at all when using it. Smart idea
BeoNut since '75
archie:next step a BL11
Great set up but do borrow a b11 and try before you buy.
This room will probably be too large for a BL11.
I'd borrow a BL19 as well

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Thank you for you advices..
the black box near the cabinet is the subwoofer for the moovies.
The "2001 space odyssey monilith" is a heater
When we are on the sofga, we can see and admire the 9000 and we love it.
For the higher of the BS5, it's for my back and to be in accord with the higher of BL8000 and TV.
The BL11 will be only for the music and i hear not too loud.
BL19 is big and the form very strange (dixit my wife )

Now, two weeks later, we have the Beolab 20 definitive in our living.
Compliments to Geoff Martin and his team. After all, they have made this possible.
I apologize for some English words. Maybe they are not correct translated. But I hope you will understand what is meant.
geert bergmans: Bey bey Beolab 9, after 8 years of fidelity service
Congratulations on your amazing upgrade!. Those 20's look amazing. Although I was never a fan of the tuxedo look, the more I see them in person and in photos in actual homes, the more I'm drawn to their looks. When I was in Tokyo I saw them in the flesh in a few showrooms and they're quite subdued.
Also kudos on the color you chose, very understated and beautiful! I hope they sound just as good as they look for years to come!
Congrats first of all!
I do agree the color of your 20s is just incredibly stylish and works beautifully with their size&shape making them look more... ...elegant.
Reminds me a lot of Louboutin's "Nude" pump concept - ingenous.
Very Nice set up Geert
enjoy!
Beolab 20s are a favourite of mine and looks really nice in your setup congrats!!
Brand new A9 rose gold.
Unfortunately not mine, but my daughters. I keep it in my house until she have moved to a new apartment.
Amazing sound in this beast. I have not really listened actively to one. Nice to have passed on the B&O bug to my kids , and fun to see that B&O appeal to the younger generation.

geert bergmans:
Awesome! The color of the BL20 goes very well with your design scheme. Congratulations!
Would love a pair of 20:s but my wife don't like to have speakers standing on the floor, so I have to stick with my BL3:s and wallmounted BL11.

Hiort, beautiful! I also love the cabinet and the TinTIn rocket :-)
I must say this isn't the most convenient way to set these up, but I had to try it just once

Ha ha Evan
leosgonewild:How about putting the record player on the middle of the three other units?
That could work - but I think I will swap these with my bedroom system BC+BG9500 as they might look more "together" with these Beolabs. Then these will probably return to the 2+2 configuration, which I still think looks the best. I was almost happy with my decor, and them I bought a digital piano - now everything is in turmoil again...

Have you been eagerly practicing for the great demo on the wed-thread tomorrow

Very nice experiment Mika. Why should this setup not stay as it is? I like it ...
Generall I am jealous of all you guys with all that low-boards with lot of place for the B&O stuff. You obviously do not have little curious and snoopy fingers all around your homes, which are on the search all the time
Very nice setups from other beoworlders too...
Vintage Bang & Olufsen
Hello Beoworlds.
some beautiful set ups listed here, thought it might be nice to see some vintage showing it's lovely weathered face!
Been having a Miles session this evening, was looking up how to fix something with my deck and came across this thread..
My 4400 needs a little fix so i've been using a trusty Beolab & Beomaster 1700 as backup.. Kind of Blue coloured vinyl playing on a Beogram 4000, Beovox s45-2 at the sides and a couple of cx50 set to ambio on the table..
Sounds lovely it does.

Sal:Hiort, beautiful! I also love the cabinet and the TinTIn rocket :-)

Cabinet is actually an Ikea Bestå module, but with top, sides, doors and legs from Superfront
elephant:@the_o_master And then there was the case of my son who inserted a sandwich into the throat of a VCR. Not sue if he thought the machine was hungry - or he was trying to hide the evidence of not eating his - food - or thought it was a toaster / grilled

I would bet it was the second reason But let's wait: If he will be a social worker or human rights activist in 20 years than I was wrong. It was the first one...

That is exactly what I meant with snoopy fingers...
And that is the reason why I have to find place for all my B&O oldies above the (virtual) line of 120-130cm in our flat...
But I hope not for long... Only few more

Unless you....start to boogie 💏 😉
Sorry - a twin post 😊
Here's a quick snap I took just before the builders start chopping the ceiling about to get a wood burner in the corner. Not much B&O on it but shows my speakers in what I think might be their final spot. I'll see if I can get a better picture of the setup when the work is complete.
