There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Sounds like a job for Steve@sounds heavenly.

Thinking about the thickness of the cable, there shouldn't be much signal loss.

But wouldn't you be better if with a subwoofer with powerlink sockets out?

Yeah, I'm planning to get one with power link sockets (bola 2 or 19) but I don't have enough spare sockets in the essence for 2 sets of speakers + the sub, so would be daisy chaining the speakers to each other and giving the other essence port to the sub.

I`d measure voltage on PIN4 Powerlink right before the last BL in the row.

Absolutely!

I have not much experience with BL19 (I listened to it in "my" Beo store long time ago, but I wasn`t really interested, because I have BL2 and BL5..🙂

That`s why I read the BL19 manual right now, with specs - Beo`s documents are really ridiculous, especially the "specs" ...! - and I couldn`t believe it, you are right: BL19 has no Powerlink out!...which normally means, no bassmanagement, just a low pass filter for the sub....(!?)

Before you take any decision, I highly recommend to read the manuals - and "specs" - of all three subs in the Beo-lineup - BL2, 11, 19.

And maybe you want to ask yourself, why they provide the BL2/11 manuals for every single language, and why is a "multilanguage manual" for the 19 sufficient...

And if you decide for the 19, connect the speakers to your Beovision and let the BV do the bass management.

BTW: the BL2/11 manuals describe, how to install the speakers in a stereo setup (like yours) and in a multichannel setup with LFE channel.

Yes, the B&O manuals are hilariously useless (a cynic might say so that you have to pay them to do the install!).
