I would select Beolab 5. There probably is an upgrade though I doubt it will add anything important. 

So, not a big deal, enjoyment wise?

I was considering buying BL5s to keep the configuration tidy but if I'm not losing anything with the menu mismatch I'll probably stick.

I had a couple of BL3's connected to my Avant as BL8000's, and they played wonderfully, so it shouldn't be a problem.

My BV5 don't have BL5, I have it set to Beolab Penta. Works great.

I'd probably go ahead and get the BeoLab 5s just to be on the safe side 😕

The BV5 does not have the BL9 in its menu of compatible speakers, probably due to its age?

Is there an upgrade to the BV5 to allow the use of BL9 or should BL9 be used with BL1 or BL5 selected from the menu?

Many thanks.

There isn't an upgrade to have BeoLab 9's in the menu, but the B&O recommendation is use the setting for BeoLab 1 because the BeoLab 9 is based on the BeoLab 1 chassis.

😁 That's just the way my tiny mind works, even when I can't afford stuff.

Peace of mind reigns. Lab 1 setting it will be.

Many thanks🤒

Yes, and a BV9 to be really safe. 🙂

Which software does your sound module (and chassis) have?

Even the avant 32 RF DVD (8450 type mkII) had the "BL 5" option.
