So i have this dilemma. I am having a hard time choosing what system i should focus on !

Here are my options

1.) i keep my beolab 3s and beolab 2 paired with beocenter 2. and add a pair of beolab 8000 to use in front or in back.

2.)i sell my other system and keep and expanding my beovox penta system connected to a beosystem 5500. Maybe buy

2 more beovox pentas. And also use the old multi room solution with the MCL2A. But i wonder if i connect more then 4 passive speakers to the beosystem 5500?

The second option maybe seems silly but I really love the the design of the pentas and they have great sound. And it would be fun to integrate a old system like that to a newer home, it is charming according to me.

I am also open for different setup solutions and speakers.

My 2 cents is option 1 but replace the BC 2 with a Core for music streaming. The BC2 looks great but do you watch DVD? Unless that is a BV TV.

B&O in my life 😊: 

 

  • Beolab 8002 + Beolab 2 + Beosound Core with Essence Remote (Office)
  • Beolab 6000 + Beolab 11 + Beosound Core with Essence Remote (Bedroom)
  • Beoplay A9 Mk2 (Living Room)
  • Beosound 1 with wireless dock (Portable)
  • Beosound Balance (Dining)
  • Beoplay H95 (Focused listening, travel)
  • Beoplay H9 (3rd gen) (retired)
  • Beoplay P6 (Portable)
  • Beotime wall clock (hallway entrance)
  • BMW X5 50i with B&O Audio Package (Commute/drive)

Is this for music or are you building a home cinema?

In a music setup, stick to stereo (2.0 or 2.1).

Especially when you have a stereo master unit.

I mostly use it for movies and series but also music. So maybe the current setup is good enough

I would run the BL3 and BL2 with tv.

And the Pentas with the Beomaster 5500 for music.
