Beolab 7.1 vs Beolab 7.2?

26 replies

Done!

Placed the Beolab 7.1 on a self made bracket to the wall and used the same 'speaker-cloth' on the grill, matching the Beolab 8000's.

All wires directly invisible into the wall, going to the Playmaker, hidden underneath the shelf.
Very happy with the result.

Stand alone setup.

Doesn’t create hiss or humming noise from the trigger source? 

Awesome work!!! I love it 🀩

I ended up here thinking of a 7-2 as center speaker setup but 7-1 might suit me better since it's not as deep and I get the bass from the BL 2 anyhow.

I love the upgrade with the front cloth in darker color - was it an easy operation to get the cloth to stick? Can you share some intel on how you did it?

I did this similar the other day.

I just sprayed glue on the edge from behind and stretched speakercloth onto it.

Just bought a 7.1 together with a 7-32 motorised stand. Will put my LG tv on it with the 7.1 modified as you've done.

Realised that the aluminium front came off easily so next items are some glue and speaker cloth :)

Unfortunately I found out that the 7.1 is not all healthy. There is a hissing sound when turned on and sometimes it doesn't turn on. So it needs some service first... πŸ™
