I had it there and got a big dent and scratch in it at a party as it’s in the middle of the room then. Hard for people to walk around (at least drunk). And as the speakers have the pretty stupid design it’s very hard to have them out. It was better there sonically but not aesthetically. I think I can place a shelf or a cabinetry for glass or stuff there instead now and utilize the volume of the room better, after all it is a living room/dining room not just a listening place. It’s also better sound now from the dining table and my eames resting chair :).Hi Michael, Nice pictures But not an ideal placement situation in Your livingroom. I would suggest getting an sound pressure level meter (decibel-meter) instead of the TV:s inbuilt automatic calibration system. I use that kind of soundlevel meter and get exact measurements and result. When looking at your pictores You dont have so much options how to place your BL50 in the room. I think I would place the left speaker on the right of the door instead of the left of the door (as you have it now). Then you have a better "triangle" with the speakers and the sofa.

And with people watching.Nope! Trying to talk with BeoCare is like peeing in the wind. Without hands.. I can’t believe how their support has gone down so much! You get to talk to someone who obviously know nothing about B&O every time and then they send the information on to someone else. Then trying to come back with almost ludicrous replies as they don’t understand. I am waiting and waiting and we’ll see but for now it’s ok sound wise. I yesterday moved one of my speakers as it was a bit in the way. Now it’s a bit far but I believe it’s better all around as sound is fuller in the room and they should be able to compensate for the placement right? I have ordered the mic and will be interesting to see how it affects the sound. I used the tv to measure distance and it’s set appropriately for now. Seems ok. Imaging is ok as well. Only one db differens between the two fronts. Opinions?

Hi,
New software released for Beolab 50 (3.0.0.0616).
Have anyone else got it?
I am just installing it. I hope no new bugs............
Have not received it yet.
I have it, seems to be good so far🙂
No, still on 2.3.4.7045 here and "no update available" for both my Lab 90s and 50s.
No release here yet. And no info.
They seem to have fixed the bass problem in the 3.0.0.527 but not the wifi problem that came with it.They fix one problem and crestes at least one new.
3.0.0.616 is the newest one, seams to be working just fine on my BL50’s.

I got the new firmware today. Seems bass is stronger in wide now but also noticing latency issues as sound seem out of sync with the rest of my speakers. Same in both modes. And when it’s on auto: what is then chosen? It can not be seen? So stupid. I also notice that I can’t use the tone controls(equalizer) in this firmware either. On 2.x it worked. I have for now only powerlink connected and I really need to be able to tone down the bass from time to time so it’s really upsetting to see this still being broken.3.0.0.616 is the newest one, seams to be working just fine on my BL50’s. peter Beovision eclipse 65, Beolab 50, Beolab 18, Beovision 11, Beolab 3, Beolab 2, BeoVision 10, MLGW, BeoLink converter Nl/Ml, Beosound 5, BLGW
