Beolab 2500 in a Dolby Digital set up

13 replies

Hi, coming back to this one. I have now bought some 4000's to be used as fronts and moved the 2500's to rear. It works ok and I think it is better than nothing if you can place then in a reasonable way. I have daisy-chained mine with an Y-splitter so I only needed to have one Powerlink cable from the Avant around the room. In order to let the black boxes on the 2500's point inwards (I felt it better that way than outwards), I opened one of the Powerlink cable terminals and switched the right and left conductors.

As it has been a while, please let us know your decision Noelke and your experiences.

 

 

Surely, if you have one powerlink cable from your Avant, and you are using a y splitter and daisy chaining, you are getting 'double' stereo rather than surround sound.

i.e. the left and right (rather ugly) blocks should be facing out wards rather facing inwards like they were designed. It isn't going to look pretty... unless you can hide them? Good luck

Good point Dave, just cut open the powerlink and reverse the colours for left and right (green and yellow from memory) this will sort out the problem.
