Interesting change. What is your impression soundwise between the two set-up?

BeoVision Eclipse 55, BeoPlay S8 (sub+rears), BeoPlay A9 MKII (living room), BeoVision Avant 32 DVD (retro gaming, basement), BeoLab 4000 (entertainment room, basement), BeoSound 8 (workshop), 2x BeoPlay S3 (PC), BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay H2/H3 (on the go)

The Beolab 5 are another level, that's for sure. First of all the physical conditions regarding volume/size, the weight and the power. But the gap between the Beolab 5 and 18/19 combo is for a normal sized living room not huge. We are living in an old building flat in the city of Zürich, so turning up the volume (bass heavy songs) was not often happen / possible. The Beolab 18/19 is more playing wide instead of a sweet spot: as the Beolab 5 is having. The treble is fantastic clear and precise.
I’m feeding the Beolab 18/19 with lossless files (my girlfriend prefers Spotify). At the end, the Beolab 18/19 combo is a huge step forward compared to other B&O speakers (e.g Beolab 8000, 6000, 3). It’s like the comparison of a 911 Turbo and a Cayman. Both makes you smile when you drive…

Before I had the Beolab 3, the Beolab 8000 and the Penta 3 (all of them combined with the Beolab 2).

It seems like Penta owners tend to put things on top of their speakers ;-)

 

What is on top of yours?

Reminds me of my BL8000s, at Christmas part of my wife's decorations is to put a little stuffed reindeer on top of one of them. Hey, it's not as bad as the romantic comedy where the girl put stuffed animals all over the top of the guy's BS9000 sitting flat on a table!

A quick press of the "open" button sorts that out nicely.

The new Apple TV have some unexpected effects on my setup, now the album art when playing music is far too dominant. New Apple TV in first picture, previous one below - I liked the first projection but not this (I think)..

It almost looks like the scaling changed.

Or are the edge points the same, just that what was black is now white background ?

At first I did not like some of the UI changes - now I am getting used to them.

Is't the background color depending on the color of the coverart?

Sorry about the late reply. The scaling is the same, but the black background is replaced by a bright one and the cover art is now centered. I don`t think the color depends on the cover art.

I like the new UI on the TV, and it`s also fine on the projector screen - but I used to listen to music with a projection of the cover art directly on the wall next to the BS9000 (see second pic), and I don´t get the same out of a large, bright square with an overly symmetrically placed cover art in the middle..

Agreed. I would never have picked white for that environment (I would have said grey) but it looks gorgeous!

The Avant 55", BL5 as front speakers, BS3200, BG6500 with MMC-2 and the BeoLink Nl/Ml Converter. Smile

And BL12-2 as rear speakers. All in white of course.

My home office with the BeoPlay V1-32 as PC monitor and BL6000 as extra speakers. But I will change the BL6000 for S8 when it comes in white or a pair of BL3.

Enjoy! Big Smile

Thanks! I think the BL5 would look good in black also. But I think the BL5 look more unique in white. I use to have the BL9 in white and the only way my girlfriend would accept the BL5s was to have them in white.

But now around Christmas times I would like to have them in red.
And I also follow a Korean guy in Instagram who has the BL5s in 90 anniversary rose gold and white. Awesome looking combo. Smile

Hey Søren,

 

I would love to flash a bit here, but I am new in the forum and I can not get the picture part working.

Imtried to search for a guide but no luck.

 

When making an album in my profile info, I can only upload one photo. 

And when it comes to writing in a thread, I can not see any way of incorporating a photo.

 

You gotta love the stupid newbies right! 

Beocenter-2300, Beocenter Ouverture, Beolab-2500, Beolab-8000, Beolab-Penta Mk3, Beolab-7.1, Beovision-7, Beovision-6, Remotes. And Feauture Beolab90 owner. The Speakers with the sound of smooth whipped butter made out of diamonds [L]
