This is a real dumbo of a question but if you don't ask you don't learn. I am considering my next move in terms of B&O purchase and am considering a sub-woofer. Can I ask if this is only used during Dolby transmission or do I get the benefit of it on my audio (pair of 8000 going through the Dolby unit on the 6-26). I can probably justify it if I get general benefit out of it but my use of DVDs is not heavy enough to spend that amount of dosh.

 

I did say it was a dumbo question.

 

 

 

I have BL3 and BL2. I must say that in the beginning I felt it was too boomy for music. But after finding a decent level for the Subwoofer (set in the TV, using the dolby digital module), the BL2 contributing VERY positively to my music experience.

I wouldnt live without. 

But in my case it was needed to lower the subwoofer level quite significantly from the factory setting. I'd say to about half the factory level.

 

 

Well Barry......thanks for your "dumbo question" Actually I had the same question,also considering to buy a BL2 for music.

Think I'll try to lent one and just try it at home.

 

Willem.🙂 

There is never a dombo question.. never.....😕

Everyone likes to learn about B&O, and if you are a expert ore not we all have to start at the begin, we all do!!!

We all like to help everyone on Beoworld, so on this forum there are no dumbo questions.....only question to learn...🤒

 

I've had a BL2 since just before last Christmas and up until recently I didn't use it with music,  however now having adjusted it's level I find it adds to the music.

Probably one of the best B&O purchases I have made and I wouldn't want to be without it now.

Agree - I love mine and equally regard it as one of the best items of B&O that I have bought. Stunning with DVDs but definitely adds to music in my opinion.

Agree as well, I think the BL2 really improves also music performance. I also think the match with the bl8000 is really good.

And of course your movies will never be the same anymore!

All votes in favour then! Do I pick up a small addendum in that you may have to "tune" the BL2 down for music and up for movies? I am not one of these bass and treble merchants and like to have a nice mid-range. The BL8000 do the treble --midrange fine with nice clarity but they are a little light on the bass.

Thanks to all for the info. Final question would you prefer a BL2 to a pair of rears?

 

 

 

What in your opinion is the optimal level for the bass and subwoofer positions in the sound adjustment menu (for music I use BL 8000 and BL2 connected to a BV7)? Do I need to increase the bass level for BL8000 at all if I have a BL2?
