Dont worry, ill share everything here (photos videos etc) and a full list of parts so if anyone else wants to emulate my setup its easy for them to find.

I am surprised not many people only have posted this kind of setup especially since the price of Mark 1 A9s are so cheap now (compared to RRP).

I am in the process of moving house and want to wall mount these 2 speakers either side of the TV. I got the brackets from B&O direct for it... £90 each....

Hopefully it will be worth it

I have an mk2 a9 and have been looking for a second one till i gave up. I'm expecting a pair of the beolab 9's and was considering that yamaha streamer or the bluesound node 2i as a preamp.iI see now there is a newer model of the bluesound node 3 i think. I have a B&W pv1D sub which i plan to integrate with the beolab 9's during movie playback and for stereo, the sub will be off.  I really can't wait to see it all works out in th end.

It should sound great ( yamaha) and if you want to add the low end, you can consider the beolab 19 or 2. That yamaha preamp has some great sonic signature with a very good dac in built into it.

Those can be resolved on the a9 delay settings. i think that can be easily managed.

As far as I remember, there is no delay settings in an A9 MK1....since it is not NL/multiroom compatible, there was no need for that kind of setting.

I am willing to be corrected, if my memory serves me wrong.

Well i'm using the Mk2 and it does have delay settings on the line in inputs.

All the parts turned up and it works perfect.

Greetings,

The subwoofer that i can recommend and that will match the look, The B&W pv1d or Beolab 19. I see the connections were not done as i've recommended pe se.  Can you take pictures of the rear of each a9?

Split the the speakers at least 2  meters or more apart .To answer any other questions, i suggest let's do a skype call as requested initially so that i can help your further.

I need to connect the 2 speakers to the B&O app to set the default volume higher (not sure if that's possible)= You must download the B&O app. In the settings app: enter the ip address of your modem so that the speakers are recognised by your home network. once all is set up. get into the settings and adjust the line level to fixed rate of 90.

Try and update the firmaware of the yamaha to the lastest version hopefully the app will perform better.

KM

Thanks for the input,

You guys are really helpful.

The video & photos I sent are not the final placement for the speakers, I just set them up like that to test they work with the Yamaha.

I am currently moving house and I plan to wall mount them 2 meters apart (each side of TV) and will probably put the woofer below.

I just realised I had them setup both sharing left & right lines. I should have done it like you suggested and dedicate a speaker to left or right correct?

Once I move and set it up on the walls how I plan ill revert here with the setup and you can advise if I have done it correctly.

Meanwhile ill look at the woofer suggestions you made and see if I can find a good deal.

Thanks

Greetings,

Any updates on this?
