Well if a beolab 4 is already available to you, why don't you give it a try? Wouldn't hurt to experiment a little.

If it is a temporary solution, it should work just fine.

Besides not knowing, if it's possible to connect a single (mono) speaker as a center, I would strongly suggest to prefer a bl4000 to bl4. Sure bl4000 ist nearly double the price of bl4 (EUR 1.100,- to 610,- now in Germany), but imho you get much better value with the 4000. And later the 4000s as rears will be a much better match to your existing 6000 in terms of looks and performance.

Hi, if you have the fixed table stand, then BeoLab 4 should fit, I use BeoLab 4000 as you can see, the rest of the speakers are Lab 3 (front & rear), and I'm planning to add one last Lab 3 soon (when Lee has one available on his site!).

If you have Lab 6000, I think the Lab 4 will be a nice addition, you can always add a non B&O subwoofer later on to really enhance the system.

Thanks everyone, I just won a pair on on ebay with the wall brackets for £501 - very pleased indeed, they seem to go for about £500 on their own so the bracket is a bonus (they retail for £180 on their own).

For no particular reason I'm not a big fan of BL4000, I love the aesthetics of the Beolab 4's.

When I get them I'll send a picture of the setup.

I don't think there's one person who has actually owned BL4000's that would say they don't like them > they're brilliant speakers! Good luck with the 4's, yes they may look nice, but they're very average performers

No offence meant to BL4000 owners, I'm sure they are brilliant speakers; I'm just not a big fan of their looks, that's all.

Don't use a pair - they'll only couple and give you more volume at lower frequencies. They'll actually sound quite unpleasant at higher frequencies as you move off-axis. Stick to one speaker.

It not offensive to anyone, it's just rather odd in my opinion...... You don't care how your speakers sound, it's how they look that is all that matters?  😕

Well, really, if they are going to be rears then it doesn't matter... i got rid of my 4000's once i made them rears, they were completely wasted in that position

Thanks, I was only planning on using one speaker until I can afford a 7-2.  Also, just to clarify - the sound is as important as the looks, all I am saying is that the 4000's aren't my cup of tea, that's all.
