Yes, I agree they are certainly aimed at the BV12. I don't think they work with the BV10 - look odd next to it, plus the sound just isn't right, whatever mode the dealer selected (and he agreed!).

How is the sound in a 5.1 setup moxxey,do you think they can match well with the beovision 8-40

No idea. Didn't test in a 5.1 setup. To be honest, 5.1 doesn't excite me at all - just not that in to movies. Was only looking at the BL12s to see how they compliment the BV10 in terms of style and sound. They don't really meet either of those requirements (for me).

What a pity ! 🙁

BeoLab 12 seems to be a very "cool" loudspeaker.

Great look, like the association with the BV10 and BV12.

But it's true that a loudspeaker design for the wall could beat a true floor standing one.

But, for a full movie system, with a BV12 and 4 BL12 + a BL2, it could be very sympatic !

Sorry, i would say :

I AM surprised of these early comments.

I have had some fun with them and noticed how fantastic they really sound ! Especially when they are played in a higher volume. Perhaps they need breaking in because the bass seemed a little low inflow volume. But other than that, fantastic!!

My comments were only in conjunction with the BV10, as I said above. Sounded odd, muffled etc. On their own, the sound is good. But why anyone would buy them (for audio) over the BL3s, is beyond me :)

maybe design i think
