BeoVision 11 (Story developing)

I use my Beo 6 about 5% of the time, and that's only because I don't know how to get my 4 to record on Sky.

A £600 paperweight.
Press Go then Red to record on Sky Chris. Or menu then 8. ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome 🙂

Yes, i'am thinking about getting the beo4 instead and then buy a ipad mini as remote..

But I think there is a problem with my beolab 9, they don't give the bass in movies i hoped for...

Also i thought that the beovision 11 had local dimming.. But the screen is just gray, when it should be black, do any of you know about a way to dim the backlight?

After such a great review I could not hold any longer and just ordered a bv11-55 this afternoon. Black border and blue frets, and motorized stand. I had intended to buy the 11-46 but the sound on the 11-55 blew me away, and watching Prometheus on the larger screen was just really impressive. Arrives in about two weeks so will provide some feedback then. Now I just need to rearrange the furniture and find space for it.

Excellent choice - congratulations !

I am spending my afternoon re-arranging cables et cetera ........ but no BV11 on my horizon: so please enjoy yours and post pictures !!

I currently have a BS9000 with BL8000s and is thinking of getting a BV11 and would like to be able to play CDs from the BS9000 on the BL8000s connected to the BV11. I have read about the new Beolink converter and that it adds a delay so I was wondering if it would be possible to use the SPDIF from the BS9000 to the SPDIF in on the BV11? If yes, how would that work?

 

On a separate note, do you think the BL8000s would complement the BV11 good enough?

I doubt that the Beolink converter would add a delay. Anyway, for the setup you plan (BL8000 connected to the BV11) a delay would not matter.

The Beolink would only send the signals between BS9000 and the BV11.

I will let you know next weekend ... I used to have 4 BL8000s with my BV5 in the living room, 2 BL8000 on Masterlink in the dining room as the BV5 was only able to drive 4 speakers plus the BL2. Now I will have the 6 BL8000s connected directly to the BV11. I am curious whether I will move all speakers into the living room to fully benefit from 7.1 surround sound or keep the 2 in the dining room ;-) 

As probably others I have been contemplating to move to BL9s - but I eventually ended up finding them too ugly - apologies to the owners and the designer - I simply prefer the classic look of the BL8000s.

Thanks, looking forward to your view

I think it will look quite ugly with so many speakers in one room. I love the design but multiplying it will only take away from the clean look.
