I'm going to say, because this TV is SO BEAUTIFUL, I will put up with it, i don't care too much for movies anyhow, other wise i would have blown the $35000 on a BeoVision 9!

Hmmm - I haven't heard the BV5 together with the BL5s, but it's kind of sad if it doesn't square up with them. Wonderful combo.

The BeoLab 7.4 center has 2x250w ICE power, and the drivers are coupled for mono.

On the BV5 you might want to make a modification. I don't know whether that's possible in the menu, or whether you have to open her up. Here are the spec's:

Power amplifier modules 4 units
Long term max. output power per module 39 watts
Frequency range 50 - 20,000 Hz
Max. sound pressure level 96 dB
Cabinet principle / net volume Bass Reflex / 3.5 litre
Woofer 115mm
Tweeter 18mm 

Rather than have the sound system try to interpret stereo (which would give you stereo within the stereo of the BL5s), you would want to have all the speakers in the BV5 output only the center channel, without any reduction in power output. People wiser than me re. the specifics of the BV5 should be able to have an informed opinion on this?
 

I was using 6000s as mains!! and they were fantastic! so I am sure they will do very well!

But when you compare them to the next in line, they do sound "weak" but having said that they are still a fine speaker imo.
 

Alex:

Good point. Most people think the drive cones are either all the way up and down the 6000s, or just at the top. They're actually slap bang in the middle...

I had the 6000s as front speakers for about a year, but now, as they have been moved to the back, I noticed that the position of the drive cones really matters, especially due to the height of the sofa. That is why I think the wall brackets for the 6000s is a very good thing. You can "lift" the 6000s for some 10 cm, which should help on this problem

OK. Anecdote. And the person in question may read this, so I won't be invited back!

Was asked to come and experience a Home Theatre installation. The person had great taste, wonderful house and no expenses spared throughout, including the entertainment room. There were huge, powerful, floorstanding speakers in the back (won't mention the model, but guess) - only problem was that the custom made seats (not joking) had quite high, and very comfortable soft leather backs, that provided a wide neck rest. This neck rest also provided very effective shielding against whatever sounds were trying to reach you from those two powerhouse speakers in the back.

Should I, or should I not point this out? I mean, the mistake was so big!!! He might as well have wired a pair of BL4s and gotten the same resoution of the sound. I did point it out, had to.

Owner refused to accept it was a major problem - then we replaced his custom made noise filtration devices with a pair of Barcelona chairs he had in his living room.
Watched the same movie - and he got new chairs for his media room. It was impossible to sit in them so that your head was free of the neck-rest.

When you sink down in your seat at the cinema, you are no longer experiencing surround sound...
