I have 2 Dolby digigal setups

7-40 with BL5's at the front with 8000' as rear speakers and 4000 at front.

Avant with 4000's at the front and 6000's at the rear.

If you can afford it I would go for BL9's at the rear as the acoustic lens will distribute the sound to whererver you are sitting unlike 8000/6000 or 4000's.

I honestly believe that the beolab 3's would be unnessesary, and that the ALT-all-around theory thing is more obsessive ~ compulsive than anything. 

I don't care for movies, and as long as the 6000's provide us with a realistic enough crash from behind, then i'm sold, the aesthetics as rear speakers are truly unbeatable and are positively perfect for the BeoVision 5. 

They will also really help keep the BeoLab 5's as aesthetically insane and eccentric as they deserve to be. By golly, those flying saucers are phenominal. 

Slap me, but I in my opinion the ALT is dorky (bar Beolab 5).

I will slap you - the ALT is a brilliant innovation in sound reproduction. It is transforming audiophile appreciation of B&O capabilities.

However, I do agree with you that one can manage without a BL3 in the back. I just wanted to point out to whoever it was who suggested BL9 that there is an alternative. 😐

So is B&W, but it isn't exactly pretty is it. Come on, you know i've got a point there!

They aren't excactly timeless are they (speaking in interior design terms) and in things such as the BV9, BL7.4, and BL9, i believe they look dorky.

That's my opinion, and i know others also agree, however i strongly agree with what they bring to the table acoustically, and that is why B&o is beginning to be acclaimed and noticed by audiophiles, BOSE haters and some of those hard-to-win-over hifi magazines.

My two cents.
