Maybe there will be a 2.1 version some day - one might hope for it.
Asked the same question to my dealer this afternoon.
He just smiled and replied he already had contacted B&O tech support about the possibility to use the
set for audio systems (or in audio link rooms) in "stereo mode".
He had also asked the support if the Beolab 14 has an internal bass management - or maybe just
some hi pass filter to avoid destruction of the small drivers of the satellites when feeding a "full range"
signal.
Answer from B&O support was "Interesting questions, we also don't know those specific design details,
we'll try to get informations from DK and we'll answer asap"
My dealer concluded "If you really want immediate answers, drop by at closing time an let's find out if /
how a "plain stereo setup" is working.
It' needed a RJ45 splitter, 2 RJ45 PL-cables and a change in the TV setup to "no sub" to make this
preliminary test. Of course we played just moderate volume levels to avoid any danger a "full range signal"
could imply to those tiny drivers - should there be no filtering of low frequencies.
The results were quite promising:
- there seems to be some kind of filtering to prevent the sub playing higher frequencies
- there seems to be some kind of filtering preventing the satellites playing low frequencies
- even without sub the satellites are still offering a surprisingly rich sound
