Beolab 9 Speakers
41 replies
Setting up the 9s correctly must really be critical. We have one in a corner and one in a 45 degree corner. They "disappear" with all types of music and the bass is incredible. I have disconnected the 12 inch Velodyne we previously used with Beolab 1s and I do not miss the sub at all when listening to music or movies.
Just another thought....when listening to our Beolab1s I always had the feeling of listening to music on very good speakers. Listening to the 9s I just hear music, it does not sound to be coming from the speakers at all.When I look at the seakers I have this weird feeling that they are doing nothing and have to remind myself that they are where the music is coming from.
has anyone set up a pair of 9's with the beolab 2. What cross-over point does the beolab 2 use for the 9's?
I used to have this setup. i dont think the lab 2 is supposed to play in speaker 2 mode when connected to the suboutput on the Tv. Think its effect is limited to surroundsound but am not quite sure. My BL2 never played during music, and you dont need this as the bass in the lab9 IMO is way enough.
I find the bass performance of the BeoLab 9s to be better than that of the BeoLab 2, much faster, more accurate, and MUCH more detailed. The BeoLab 2 can be a bit 'slow' at times, although it's fantastic for bringing down your house during a movie!
For music though, the BeoLab 9s are much better without a BL2, and even with movies, the BL9s are pretty thunderous...
I agree completely with Alex. The bass is wonderful in the 9s and to me the need for a subwoofer is questionable at best.
Am I correct the 9s are rated down to 30hz? Is there really that much sound in a movie or music below that point?
Interesting. Is there a way of ensuring that beolab 2 only kicks in below 30-50htz so that the bass of the beolab 9 is the focus above that? I note that the beolab 2 has a switch from 1-3 - i take it that this is bascially a cross-over switch or via the beosystem 3 somehow ?
