The kind of "distortion" ABL introduces is benign compared to actual supply(amp) or excursion "clipping!  Isn't that the whole point of ABL ?

And yes they are all different, I referer to the there 7s, as the good (7-1) the bad (7-2) and the ugly (7-6) (all positive)! and since they share the exact same drivers and filter concept the importance of the difference in volume simply can't be ignored.

Actually since the 7 series is quite unique (3 sizes) I believe they really showcase the importance of volume, i.e you really compare apples to apples!

You can get a BL7 for as little as 100-125 usd "preloved! in Denmark, that is  if you accept a BV7 tags along. They were sold at 3800 usd when new!

Admitted: I have have quite a few in active service, and as you know when it comes to speakers the more the merrier. Some of them are simply hardwired as mono speakers, and are used as surrounds  or backs. Some are used with Beosounds or Beomasters. Even my car has one 🙂

The 7-4 is a gem, once you had one of those as a centre there really is no going back (Except for a BL10 perhaps). Sadly the is no substitute in the current lineup.

Strangely, just as you the BL3 is the only B&O speaker I never actually heard at all...

I did.....and still do.

Apart from their ability to be part of a multi channel setup, they are gorgeous small speakers for a room, where you basicly move around and not alway sit still in the sweet spot.

 

Have fun with them, Steve....you’ll like them.

Hi MM 

Are you saying Lab 3's don't work as rear speakers in a multi channel setup?

I am pretty sure he didn't, why wouldn't they ?

Hi everyone,

I have seen Beolab 3s used as rear speakers, but I personally think they are too good for that.  I've put together some thoughts on how to get the best from these great little speakers and also a way to check if they will suit your room and expectations ❓

The Speakers goes in first! 😁  That points towards an awesome wife,- not a lot of guys would get away with that these days.

I have to admit the three tick boxes didn't favor the BL3 in my case..

BL 3 are fine looking and sounding units.

I have a pair in black but ..i have some spare cabinets to set a custom paint colour.

Can be pearl white ..but it's hard to paint that without pro. paint tools.

Have it as computer speaker but i think it's owerkill of wolume ..so they be perfect as dining room under ceiling.

usb 5v to 4,7v for trigger and connected with powerlink cable.

As the sound ....they are in the middle of BL4000 and 8000 with just a small advantage in treble.

just a hint..if any of you open that speker ..

Absolutely! 🤒

The treble clarity of the Beolab 3s is superb, I haven't seen many speakers that can come close, at any price.  However, they do lose a little bit in terms of stereo imaging compared to the very best speakers.  Bass performance varies greatly with room placement, I think I need more time with them to really experiment with their positioning......

Kind regards, Steve.
