But... does it look like Sonny Crockett's vision of a Dutch tulip? NO WAY! So, no competition 😐.

I don't get impressed easily, but I was impressed with the design of the BL11, when I saw it at my dealer the other day. Looks great in white. Much smaller than I expected though.

Good to hear it enhances the BL3s. People within the industry have suggested that it probably won't enhance a BL3-based setup as it was designed to enhance BL4000/6000s. I doubted this as it drops as low as 33Hz.

Hello, I'm french.

I would like to know what do you think about Beolab 11 with beolab 3 et beosound 4 ? Does it work ? Somebody have this installation ?

Have a good day.

Tanks to "jjcox" for the great and thourogh review of your experiences with Beolab 11. Me myself have the same setup with lab 6000 and lab 4000 as rear, but with the Beovsn 3-32.

I miss some more depth in the bass and some more sting to the rest. I hope that Beolab 11 might be what I've been missing. And without getting in a fight with my neighbours.

And of course...it's looks stunning.

A question for "jjcox"...have you seen some more movies yet? And can you say a bit more regarding the impact on lower sound effects like explosions, thunder, car-noise..etc....Can you feel a big difference with the 11?

Hello Lloydern,

Yes, I've seen some more movies now. In movies, it delivers just what you describe: some more depth in the bass and more sting to the rest. It all sounds a lot more 'full'. Thunder, explosions and stuff do offer a lot more 'oomph'. I noticed last week when I was in the kitchen and the kids were in the living room watching 'Earth' (a movie with a lot of breaking glaciers, running elephants and more nature noise) that the subwoofer really is very present. Also, I (don't tell anyone!) like to watch a movie with my feet resting on the table. Since the BL11 is in action, I can FEEL the explosions in the table. The table vibrates, which it never did before.

Nevertheless, it won't break any walls. The BL2 can do that. But it is very present in movies and enhances the experience a lot.

Thanks for reply...

Sounds like it's just what I am looking for. Perfect answer :-)!

Actually my wife has granted me a no-more-beo-warning that's valid for the year 2010. So I recon this christmas should do just fine...😁

Lloydern...7 months to go

I wish that ::

 

1. it was available in the older aluminium colours B&O had (i.e. pearly green, sky blue, pearly red, etc)

2. that i could afford one to add to the 6000's at home... :(
