I wonder if 1 pair of 28 is good enough can replace 2 pairs of 18s in a cinema set up?

A larger pizza may replace several small pizzas, but does one larger plate replace several small plates ?😁😂 ![Beer]()
I’m still waiting for a definite reply for this from B&O. If the bl28 through mozart could turn the contour into a center+2 setup, i’d be game for contour plus bl28. Any hope this will eventually / potentially happen?Thanks, Curly. It's not really going to bother him. I was just slightly confused as some of the early reviews of the Lab 28s stated they could be connected to a Contour, which contradicted what I thought.
There is a long lasting rumour that with the new Mozart platform it will be possible to have surround sound. But there is still a surround decoder needed, hence the Contour will not do this.Correct, sadly.

How do you think the Beolab 28 will function as front left and right in a 5.1 setup.
I am using a Marantz with Odyssee room correction which sets up all the settings for all the speakers including crossover to subwoofer.
Now, the 28 has its own room correction and no separate subwoofer.
Is this likely to cause an issue for the overall setup?
my dealer told me this week that anything on the Mozart platform will be able to be used as surround speakers.
That functionality though is, from what he said, close to 18 months away.
Whether the Contour fits into that, I dont know.
Countour is not on the Mozart platform so I wouldn’t bet on it.
I guess this feature will need a Mozart enabled television / centre speaker. I guess all products will transition to Mozart in the coming years.

Current Stage/Contour is not built on the Mozart platform.
I doubt that that will take 18 months.
Maybe when a Contour 55 will come - that would be perfect timing.

indeed, I dont take these time frame estimates literally to be honest.
I think his point was that its a good deal down the road map for Mozart development
Good that its on the roadmap, but it won't be the first thing at all to be delivered.
Network Link (or Speaker Link as it is to be called) will be first, and thats seemingly slipping towards the end of this year.
So I wouldn't expect the surround capability for quite a while.

I was thinking more that in a normal house I don’t see that much benefit with a conventional 5.1. I was hoping that with the 28 I would get a decent virtual surround plus good listening music soundHow do you think the Beolab 28 will function as front left and right in a 5.1 setup.
