Hi guys,
I'm looking to replace my Beoplay S3 stereo pair with something that sounds better and also doesn't have the ridiculously aggressive power-saving settings (the S3 goes to sleep after around 10 seconds of inactivity when using line-in!).
Secondhand Beolab 3s seems like a good alternative, although I can find very few reviews for some reason. I'd love to know how they compare to the S3s, and to other active speakers in the same sort of price range these days (they seem to average around £600 on the secondhand market).
I have a high quality sub, so I'm not too bothered about how much bass is put out, although the S3s were surprisingly good in this area. I'm looking for good stereo imaging and detailed sound. I wasn't too impressed with the midrange performance of the S3s, but I really can't complain for the price.
