Hi,

If I remember you have a set of BL 17 and BL 19 - is that correct?

If so, you would not need a BL 16 which is another subwoofer.

However, if you do not have a BL19 then indeed buying a BL 16 which is a subwoofer would work well and be an alternative to buying a BL 19.

It would be connected via the the same amplifier that you would be getting for the BL 15, however, you would in that case need another Receiver 1 if you want to do your connection wirelessly.

I would mount the BL 16 in the wall rather than ceiling because of size, and just run the cable behind the wall from the amplifier.

By the way did you ever get another Transmitter 1 and did this solve the sound noise on your BL 17?

Hi,

 I have 4 x beolab 17 and a Beolab 19. Beolab 15 is able to handle only frequencies above 130 Hz so  my concern is that Beolab 19 would not be able to hande well 130Hz and even if would do the sound would be localized. Basically instead to hear various sound effects in the rear -> ceiling they would be heard in front on Beolab 19. So I was thinking to somehow configure beolab 16 to  only to complement beolab 15 from ceiling and place it in the ceiling as well, though I'm not sure if it's possible or if it would look good( in centre  between beolab 15)

 I still didn't fix the Beolab T1 issue. Hopefully I will send it for service on Monday.

Hi,

I am quite certain that your concerns are unfounded.

As you know I am running 18's up front and 15's in the back (ceiling) and I have my 19 placed up front and a center speaker and the sound effect is exactly what you would want it to be.

Also, as you know your Marantz has a number of different sound scenarios which is useful depending on what you want to do. When I use the 15's for multi channel stereo the set up sounds phantasmic too.

Why don't yu try first with 15's only and in the unlikely event you are not satisfied, you can always add the 16. Just think up front where you would place it if everything fails so you place the 15's to accommodate that scenario.

Good luck.

I forgot one thing.

When you finally have all your speakers installed and connected you will be using your Marantz to tune your set up to place exactly how much sound you want to come out of each set of speakers and you are also able to determine the cut off for base etc.
