Beolab 4000 stands and other placement options

19 replies

hello everyone,

 

 

I'm considering buying some table stands for my Beolab 4000's but ones advertised at the moment are very expensive for what appears to be simple plastic bases set at an angle - are they a bit more robust than they look in the photos?

 

 

I had my pair wall vertically wall mounted at head height either side of my window but since i had to add a dual monitor setup for my work they had to be turned horizontally and moved much higher on the wall and I don’t think they look very good that way.

 

 

Since i am going to have to patch up the wall before wallpapering i think now is the time to consider changing the location.

 

 

Would the speakers perform as well on the table stands as they do on the wall? The location would be on an oak cabinet to the right of my desk and placed either side of a Beocenter 8500 (i haven't purchased the cabinet yet)

 

 

My other option is to put them on small rubber feet and place them on the bookcase to the left of my desk alongside the Beomaster 1900 but in this layout it would be difficult to hide the cables.

 

 

i've uploaded a photo to show the layout of the room at the moment.

 

 

the photo above is a panorama and is stretched/distorted to fit everything in so doesn't really give a good impression unfortunately, the speakers are about a foot higher than my head at the moment and angled downwards slightly. the room is 4m wide by 3.5m deep

That is a touch one, without knowing more about how you use the speakers or if the are used generally in the room as well.

Do you use them for sound from your Mac or just from the Beosystem?

 

As for the rubber feet (original from B&O) - they work well are stable and surely do their job (I have a set in use myself).

They might seem a bit ‘platicy’ and cheap - no idea how much the would cost nowadays - but I never think about them, they are there and does the job.

I use the table stands with my BL4000s.  I bought them new for about €40 at the same time that I purchased my speakers.  They are certainly substantial enough to hold the speakers firmly at the slightly tilted back angle - it matches the tilt angle of the BC2300/Ouverture series and I have used them with that in the past.  They have rubber feet and additional rubber pads to protect the base of the speaker.  They also hide the cables well.

Here's a photo of my current setup on a wooden bookcase.

But if it's the ones for sale at £145 I don't think they are worth that much!!!

Do you have the wall mounts? I’ll gladly exchange for my horizontal table stands.
Like the ones in this thread:

At the moment I airplay from the Mac to the beosystem using an old airport express. It’s mostly background listening/net radio while I’m working as I have Beolab 8000s and another system downstairs for when I want a serious listen 🙂

I don’t really use the BC8500 sources anymore, only Apple Music via airplay so I’ll most likely replace the airport express with a Sonos Port so I can use voice control of that from my echo dot and to listen to internet radio.

Thanks Guy - it was the £145 ones I was considering and agree they are too expensive. This looks like a great option so I’ll see if I can translate that site and contact the seller directly to see if he can post internationally.
