Your dealer doesn't know the system or equipment, Nisrani, and I can well understand why you are confused.

If you look at thavn's post above, or kawo's following concerning wrong dealer setup procedures, then you get an idea as to what you should do.

You want to listen to the BL5s, with the subwoofer signal actually being sent to the BL5s. Look at Kawo's post for the possible problem. The BL2 can be attached, if you want to compare the sub signal of that to the BL5. But it is essential that your dealer goes into the Loudspeaker setup menu and actually disables the Lab 2. If not, the sub signal won't go to the BL5s.

Show the dealer this thread.

It's a shame that you should have this much bother in making a decision.

Cheers!

Thanks

tommorow i will go back and try it again
and i will also go to another dealer

i went to the same store today because one of the staff members got back from holiday and he could give me the advise about the bl5

but he said the same thing that i cannot use the bl5 with the bl2
because it wouldn t get the right signal only if i gave the bl5 another name
in the set-up menu

confussed

 

 

 

 

I don't think anyone has said that the BL5's should be used with the BL2 - infact quite the reverse.

If I paraphrase correctly the recommendation was to select the BL5's as fronts and ensure the sub channel is turned off.

i said it wrong he said to me that the bl5 didnt give so much power as the bl2 for the movie experience
and that they are better for music so he advised me if i would buy the bl5 and i also would like
the movie experience i should also by a bl2

I'd have to disagree - BeoLab 5s deliver far more punch than the BeoLab 2 does in my experience, and are much better for both movies and music (with music being the biggest improvement).

It saddens me to say your dealer sounds like (yet another) wallmart reject - my advice, try another dealer!
