Putting a Beolab 3 on top of a Beolab 2

Hi, I have a little strange question:

Has anyone tried putting a Beolab 3 speaker with a rubber base on top of a Beolab 2?

The beolab 2 apparently is magnetically shielded, and vibration from the subwoofer happens in speakers with built-in woofers like the Beolab 9, 5, 50, or 90.

I know 3-way speakers cabinets are a completely different design, but due to space, I was wondering if this is possible, or if anyone has tried it, and what their experience was, or, if anyone has thoughts in general on this?

Cannot see any reason why you cannot do it but won't the three be rather low? I had mine on wall brackets when I had them for computer speakers in a very confined space.

Yes, they would be rather low! I have some old B&W stands that are pretty short, I thought I might stack them onto that.

I thought of the BL3 on a wall bracket, above the BL2. This would be an elegant solution for sure!

It’s just that on the second hand market, most of the BL3s I’m finding here in the US are on rubber bases.... while ones with wall brackets are either very rare, or sellers demand very high prices. Buying wall brackets separately as cost prohibitive, often costing more than the second hand speakers themselves.

I suppose the wall bracket is indeed the best and logical thing to do...

The wall brackets can be purchased from B&O still but only at component level, meaning you can purchase just one! Why not ask a dealer for a quote?

I just bought these for my Beolab 3 (35 DKK/5 USD each): https://www.silvan.dk/pn-hyldeknaegt-150-mm-boeg-175-mm?id=2740-5203928

Ok. I also saw the brackets at STB Brackets, and the ceiling ones are 725 pounds!!

They are very solid, and even more solid than the original wall brackets.

 

And very nice

Thats great! I think those are WAY better than the black wall brackets. These wood ones look more like they belong in a home, plus you keep the silhouette shape of the speaker

You can pick up these.

At 795 dkk it is arround 125 dollar, no idea about shipping though.

I have the ceiling mounts and they are great but expensive. The door is to high so I needed to put them on the ceiling.

Look in my avatar which is sideways no idea why

I think the ceiling ones you have would be good for me based on where this whole project is going.

BUT, they are really $$$$$, over 700 UK pounds!

All the Beolab 3s available in my second hand market currently either have wall brackets, or rubber bases. Only one set with ceiling mount. Thats why I was wondering about just placing the BL3 on top of the BL2 since most of the ones available just have a rubber base, and 700pounds for the ceiling version costs more than the speakers!
