I was just wondering if anyone has a combo Beolab 17 + Beolab 19 subwoofer?

Curious how this sounds compared with a pair of Beolab 18s without a sub? 😮

currently my set up is a beovision 11  with beolab18 and a bl2,  I have ordered the bl17 for rears expect delivery jan 2015. I kept the bl 2 from when I had my beovision 10

will let you know what I think after installed

I don't have the combo but did do a comparison at the store. The BL17+BL19 did sound better than just the BL18 in my opinion. The BL18 lacks bass and needs the BL19. I was really impressed with the BL17 overall, even though for my taste I found it a bit bright for stereo music. For cinema though it seems quite good.

I'm put off by the fact that it resembles a iMac PC...

Visually they are not comparable, but that was not the goal - so it is good we have a choice. Plus additional BL17 option with black aluminum body as of recent.

Thanx rxcohen for your impressions, I am looking for a bright sounding speaker set however not without bass (I listen to electronic music quite frequently). Also, the purpose will be a combo of Deezer streaming/iTunes and home cinema.

The beolab 17s definitely have bass, i was pleasantly surprised how deep the bass was on certain music i listen to when i had them.

to be honest they really are a lovely sounding speaker, i actually prefer the look of them in black.

The bass is good on the BL17, but the BL19 really makes a real difference. The same goes for the BL19 with BL18. I posted elsewhere the BL19 not only adds bass, but improves the performance of the other speakers above 120Hz. I just purchased the BL19 this week and added it to my 11-55 and BL1 setup. The speech now is much clearer when watching films.

For electronic music i think you would be very happy with the BL17 and BL19 combo, more so than just the BL18.

I have too disagree as the music i listen to range from r'n'b, raggae, hip-hop and the 17s excelled at that. I'm sure with the beolab19 sub it sounds even better but in the time i had them they provided ample bass with the music i listened to with them.
