The room is 10 feet tall but only about 14 square. Still a decent volume of space ...

What does "connect them in series" mean? Thanks for the reply BTW.

it means connect your source to the BL2 first and then your BL2 to your 8000s.  In this way the BL2 will manage the bass and filter it out before passing the signal to the 8000s.

@Duels , I have them all connected to Bsys3,,so I can adjust speaker levels etc.Do I get any improvement connecting them "'in series'' ?

no, you don't. the "connect in series" set up is for stereo setups on a beosound, or for older surround setups on a beovision without separate subwoofer connection.

Thanks Mike !

All ok Duels, cheers!

Beolab 2 purchased - should arrive in about a week. I do hope it sounds as good as I'm hoping! I was disappointed with my pentavox with the beomaster 7000. Years ago I had a beomaster 5500 with pentagon and I'm sure they sounded way better - the mid range sounds sort of vacant /muffled with the 7000? Anyway, very pleased with the beolab 8000 and hoping the beolab 2 will add to the experience.

Congratulations! Let us know how you like it. Remember, as others have pointed out, connect your 8000s to the Lab2, and the Lab2 to your source. It's all in the Lab 2 manual.
