Beofab,
thank you for the private lesson. Because English is not my first language, I think someone can tolerate my little faux pas.🤔

Hotknife,

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Probably I had to add a 'smily' or something. It was not meant to criticize.

English is not my first language either but I learned a lot from friends, family and co-workers who I encourage to point out my mistakes when I made one. I have learned a lot this way and that is what I was trying to do just sharing knowledge.

so I have a 60m² living room with a beocenter 9300 + beolab 3

actually I have no B&o TV, I have a pioneer plasma and the stereo aux of the plasma goes to the A.aux entry of the beocenter.

so beolab 11 or beolab 2 for music and some bluray??

And the pair of BL3 is able to fill your living room with 60m2???

If I were in your shoes, I would trade the BL3 and buy a pair of BL9. I know, your question was BL2 vs BL11.

So, however BL11 for music, BL2 for movie. But there is no way to give you a 100% suggestion. To be sure, you have to ask for a demo in your living room for the combo

1, BL11

2, BL2

3, B&W PV1 (if you like a good subwoofer for music and movie with good adjustment options)

4, BL9

But to keep a short story long - go for the BL9 and will do not have any problems.

I have 4 BL3s and a recently added BL11. Interesting is that now it seems as more bass is coming from the BL3s than earlier. Perhaps the deepest music take the BL11 way and the mediumbass more easily goes via BL3.

Some tunes are more videly spread in the tonespectrum. I haven´t had som much time to look at BR movies yet.

I think you are right!!!

for the price of beolab 3 and beolab 2 second hand I can have beolab 9 second hand!!!!

I had a pair of Beolab 3's connected to my TV in a stereo configuration for about six years.  I was happy with the improvement over the built-in speakers included with the TV; however, I still was missing some bass.  I tried recently adding a subwoofer from a different company, but I wasn't happy with the result when listening to music and returned the subwoofer.  I couldn't discern the types of instruments in the music producing the low bass sounds.  I attributed this effect to possibly a gap in frequency response between where the BL3's dropped off at the low end and the subwoofer dropped off at the high end;  that is, maybe I had lots of low bass but was missing high bass.  Anyway, I reasoned that maybe I needed a "smaller" subwoofer which might do better at the high bass.  So I decided to try the Beolab 11.

Well, the BL11 made a very nice addition to the BL3's.  Music of all genres sounds very good, and I really appreciate the extended "intelligible" bass.   Great sound in a compact system that can be connected directly to my TV without an amplifier is exactly what I wanted.  I would guess that the Beolab 9's should sound better yet as there would be a subwoofer for each speaker and perhaps even better matching of frequency response (my speculation because I have not actually heard a BL9).  But if you value a minimalist system, this BL3 + B11 is a great sounding option.
