Thanks for your long and detailed responce. I had to google Herbie hancock, jazz is not my cup of tea. On that I will pass. Again I come back to the point, its your music in your environment and if that works for you...enjoy!

Indeed - and the BeoLab 2 is in no way a bad subwoofer - it has it's strengths and it's weaknesses, as do all speakers - even the BeoLab 5s!

Hi

From experience: more complaints with a BL2 then with a BL11 :-)

Yeah Karel, I guess too 😁

Hi link,

I actually use a BL2 combined with a set of BL8000's (front) and BL4000's (rear).

The result is very good, the subwoofer can skake my entire living room and I am not kidding.

BL2 produces great powerfull bass that are ideal for movies and music too.

BTW, if you have a small room, I would get the smaller BL11 as the BL2 would be overkill.

Now, I think that BL2 (and BL11) can be a source of issues with your neighbours if used without any limitation 😁

Cheers,

There's a little space to my neighbor's house, so maybe I'm OK! Years ago I brought a demo track to the B&O dealer (which I no longer have one nearby)... a 64' pedal stop on the organ came through, even though that's below the "spec". 

Oh my god, today my brand new BL2 was brought into service. What a piece of solid workmanship. I do not think, that there is a single subwoofer on the market, going as low as the BL2, looking so great.

I`m using it with the DSS of my BV8-40 together with a pair of BL8002. Put the new Linkin Park "A thousand suns" CD into my BS4. Was there an earthquake or a  fighter jet circling over my condo? Thank you B&O for kicking me into my balls. What a real sledgehammer.

At the moment, the setup of the DSS runs only with 40% subwoofer and 50% bass. For music something too much, for TV could be something more. Subwoofer position 3 for DSS and corner.

I`m not able to answer if the BL2 is "slow", only good enough with TV. It was not a matter of money. I took the BL2 because I like it a little loud. And yes, it is 100% for sure, BL2 is one of those that once you have tasted, theres no going back!

By the way, because the 8-40 has some problems with its DSS-modul (sound), someone found a very good setup, regardless if the are using BL8000/BL2/BL4000 and no rearspeackers.

front: Penta

distance. 10,0 m

rear: BL4000 (regardless if you do not have any rearspeaker)

distance: 0,5 m

audio: speaker 4

video: speaker 5

Even without the subwoofer it sounded much better than with my BL8002. Give it a try if you are using the BV8-40.
