Not a BL 17?

Barry, do you mean the bl19 sub ?

 I am surprised there has been no feed back on the 19 versus the bl2.

So with a wireless sub you can place it where you want, hmmm  Barry?

But with a crossover at 80 Hz the bass from the sub are non-directional... So the BL2 must do it's job. The problem, the feeling, is probably over 80 Hz. I mean in the mid-range.

My understanding is that the BL2 was designed to complement the BL1. It has a setting on the crossover for the BL1, along with a setting for things like the 8000/4000, and one for the BL4.

One problem if you go with the BL19 is that it only has a low pass filter, if you want to keep the bass out of the BL1s with a high pass filter you need to use the wireless transmitter and receiver pairing for the BL1s, which is a 120 hz hi/lo pass crossover.

Also, the whole "you can place the sub anywhere" is not true, it really should be somewhere inbetween the main speakers, or at worst just outside them. And 80 hz, depending on slope, is audibly locatable. If it's a 2nd order slope particularly, if it's 4th order, harder and depends on your sensitivity.

That would be disappointing. I was considering buying a BL19 for use with my BL1s.

Has anyone put a BL19 through its paces yet ?
