I am currently enjoying the beautiful weather here in South London listening to my iphone plugged into my Beomaster 5000 via RL 60.2s in love with the sound it produces and was wondering how the sound of my set up would compete for quality with new, not necessarily B&0 ipod docks etc.. Also i love my 60.2s but what would the 140s bring to the table if i was to change set up?

thanks for readind and your advice in advance

If you love the RL60.2s, the RL140s will blow you away.
Place them on floorstands, about 10-20cm out from the wall, not too close to eachother.

................although WAF of RL140's is very low, I'm not aware of a single "My wife loves them" quote!! They are very big!!

Thanks Martin, 

I have my 60.2s wall mounted, I am still relatively new to B&O but have been preaching and probably boring every one of my friends for how very little money a set of these speakers will set you back in comparison for what else there is out there and in relation to quality in both sound and looks they are second to none. My brother in law was one of these who recently brought a new Audi with a B&O system who has now starting looking to start his beovirus / collection I have warned him it his highly addictive!!!!!! As for the 140s looks like that will be my next buy.

I understand what your saying however I managed to get the 60.2s in place of the 35s without the wife knowing but she did notice that the speakers were a lot louder!!!!!!

It is worth at some stage changing the capacitors in these. I gave a pair away and the next owner did just that and improved the sound no end. I agree with Martin that the RL140s are quite a bit superior but they are very large and dominate a room so I would stick to RL60.2s. I think they sound very good wall mounted - better than on the floor where they can be a little bass heavy.

The BM5000 is another super piece of kit - sounds and operates very well.

Always liked the RL line. Some say bigger is better. Yes - thumbs up

Too long to list....
