I agree with jaffrey. I hear from all active speakers a slight buzzing noise on high frequency. It’s like a background whisper noise. I first noticed it on Beolab 8000 years ago, and then on all active Beolabs. And announcement speakers at train stations etc.
I have had a pair of BL9 (last year manufacture) and I could hear this noise pretty well from my couch even - but my hearing is extremely good. It blends out when playing music but it’s noticeable if they are on or not when nothing is playing. I now have BL20 and the noise is there but much lesser. Not surprising since they don’t share the same hardware. Beolab 9 has A&B amps for tweeter and mid whereas Beolab 20 has IcePower and another kind of DSP before that.
I used to run my 20s wireless and thought maybe this would make the noise less noticeable. I however changed to powerlink by cable due to wireless instability 4/10 times of use (one speaker didn’t turn on or would turn off). I haven’t noticed a big difference in noise. I tried to not think about it the first days because I didn’t want to change back to wireless. And I haven’t noticed it like with BL9 yet either. It’s there but not to much.
The speakers in my Avant 55” are also active but have a much lower noise floor. I can not hear them being on and not playing from my couch.
Beolab 8000 is also not that loud, bl9 is louder than both.
But the sound you’ve heard from your beolabs, maybe it’s an issue if it’s loud. But if it’s this faint low river water flow kind of noise then I think it is normal.
