    Are there big differences in the Beosound/Beocenter family, in sound? Easy to choose between Beolab 8000, Beolab 6000 & Beolab 3

    Hi,

    Today i went to a Bang & Olufsen dealer in Stockholm. Trying to define what will be the best speaker for me/us.

    It was easy...........

    I listened to a hybrid sacd from Pink Floyd with the album The dark side of the moon & then to Ray Brown trio with the help from Beosound 4!

     

     

    -The Beolab 8000 played with features such as dynamics, control, presence & showed no tendency to

    faint bass reproduction. I was amazed, I know that the beolab 8000 stands for quality but the sound was way above my expectations. Im in love!

     

    -The Beolab 6000 made me surprised, not detailed as the big brother but still a warm sound image.

    The song became very present & they were capable of high volumes.

    There was a big difference between floorstanding & wall mounted placement.

    The beolab 6000 did really shine when they were placed along the wall.

     

    -Beolab 3 did make me a little bit confused. They played with a lack of feeling. Consider the size of the Beolab 3

    there were a lot of sound coming out from that little "body". The sound image was very wide but were was the bass?

     

     

    The sound settings in Beosound 4 = Loudness off, bass/treble 0.

    I know that the Beolab 8000 is the speaker for me/us, they played so clear and they do really give a good picture of all instruments!

    They are beautiful & and I know that our ears will love them...........................................

    If this is first and only one speakers in your home I will suggest you to go for BL8000, if you have any of B&O speakers go for BL6000 like a rear speaker.

    Why 8000? Beautiful sound and true and iconic B&O design.

    But let your wife to be final in decision Wink

    Congrats,

     

    Glad you found your perfect Beo speaker.

     

    When I move, probably within a year or two to a bigger house, I'm going to get a pair of BL 8000 as a second system.

     They are the smartest looking Beo product in my opinion.

    Still the most beautiful speakers ever made IMO, and they don't just flatter to deceive.

    Good choice.

    The use of metaphors should be avoided like the plague. They're like a red rag to a bull to me.

    I like detail more than anything else and this is what the 3s give me. The 8000s are the most beautiful, but I have 3s. Not bothered about bass where they are though in a bigger room I can possibly understand.

    The sound was like the design, beautiful.....

     

    Another question?

     

    There are small differences in specifications between the Beosound/Beocenter models!
    Is it possible to hear the difference?
    I do not want to miss a single thing when we buy our Bang & Olufsen products.
