If you are into bass, pairing the Beolab 19 to the Beolab 18's is definitely a good choice. The 18's are great sounding and of course, very sleek looking. Unfortunately, they do not even deliver the bass that that the 8000's barely delivered. 

sorry for question ..but..do you wish to say that BL18 have less bass than BL8000 ?

I have just BL8000 not BL18 so it's theoretical question :)..for me that is strange as in specs. list that is total oposite.

I'd also like to know if the BL18's have less bass than the BL8000s! 

I find that the 18's present less bass than the 8000's

Still interested in how they perform compared to the Penta :-)

Would it be a step up if I moved from the Penta to the Beolab 18?

Having never heard the two together, I'd still say I'd expect the following:

The Pentas will have more/deeper bass

The Pentas will be far less picky about how far you sit away or how whether you are standing or how tall your listening chair is

The BL18s will be prettier, and new so hopefully less probability of failures

Hard to say on the rest.
