Just wondering what a BL11 costs in Australia.

It was a birthday present so I am not supposed to know :)

And the B&O 2010 pricelist was produced before the BL11 launch

But I shall find out for you !

(around AUD2,600 I think)

where did you place the BL11 ? as recommended midway between your BL 6000s ?

No, I didn't :). I placed it slightly (about 30cms) to the left of the left BL6000.

However with the right movie at the right volume you can get the effects :D

Copy that ;-). I was watching Toy Story 3 last night, where there are some nice explosions right in the beginning (including a sonic boom) and well... it's a good thing the neighbours were having dinner in town 😁

Is anyone using Beolab 11 in combination with Beolab 1's? I'm interested to hear their opinion about this combination for playing music.

I'm not trying to say that the BL6000/BL11-combination sounds better than the BL9. Not at all. But it's made the gap between the BL6000 and the BL9 a WHOLE lot smaller. Because not only it adds bass to the 6000's, but it kind of 'releases' the 6000's to play like true stars.

Funny thing: half of the improvement is in the HIGH end!

 

Ease up turbo, lol! Sorry, but I tried my 6000's with the BL9's connected to the sub connector, just to see how much better the 6000's can sound with a good bass foundation and the BL9's are just in a completely different ball park. BL9 = open, balanced and powerful BL6000 are toy speakers in comparison, the gap remains huge i'm afraid.

Not sure how your BL9s were connected; but yesterday I connected our BeoSound 4 to our BeoLab 11 and then onto our BeoLab 6000s and was very pleased with how the stereo separation was improved by the high end becoming more liberated

Of course they're not BL9's 😎. BUT, (and that's a HUGE but!), the BL11 releases them like nothing ever did.

You know, before the BL11, I wanted the 9's when I was listening to the 6000's, because the 6000's didn't sound good to me.

Now, using the BL11, I'd only want the 9's when I'm listening to the 9's. Not because the 6000's are crap, but because the 9's are heaven.

Finally, back home, looking at my 6000's (IMHO the most beautiful speakers in the world) and listening to them, they're all that I want. Because I can't hear the 9's at home, I can see them though (which does NOT make me want them more!) and I can hear the 6000's with the BL11 and get wild.

Am I making sense? Probably not, but that's pretty normal when you're in love - with a freakin' subwoofer 😁

There's a difference in price between the surface finishes, I think? The painted finish is cheaper than the anodised by about $300AUD - or there abouts. And you can lop off another 8.5% if you're able to purchase one this month.
