Thanks for all the input, I've decided to keep the BL18's. I think that maybe I've not set up the Beovision 11 properly as I've been waiting for the new software update, once it's out I'll spend some time setting everything up and then decide if I need to get a BL11.💡

Instead of getting a BL11, why not aim for a BL 19 instead. It will give you more and deeper bass than the 11 will.

Well after a quick phone call, they agreed to exchange the Beolad 18's and the Beolab 11 for the new Beolab 20's, they just gotta check the prices and availability (Australian). Awesome local shop (although they are 500 km's away!)

Hope I'm doing the right thing as my wife prefers the look of the 18's!!

Out of idle curiosity, which store ?

I'm considering the Beolab 11 as I used to have the Beolab2 but that was just so overpowered, we always had it on minimum settings!
So I thought, our room is quite small so an 11 should suffice.

As to the store its the one in Subiaco, Perth, a very friendly and helpful team! :)

Anyway I've got to go to Perth on Tuesday so I'll pop in and listen to there 18's with the 19 Sub and see how much difference it makes, but as i said before; It could be that I've just not set the speakers up right as I'm waiting for the new software for the Beovision 11, anyone know when it's coming out?

Cheers
