"Daisy chain" them as secondary left and right speakers alongside the lab8000's ...you may be pleasantly surprised.

Great setup Claes!  I bet it seems quite hard to imagine it without the 8000s now.

Thanks!🙂

Agree regarding regarding prizes and pictures. Maybe a "Sticky thread" that stays on top of the forum. I´ll check with Lee.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I´m not sure why a "daisy chain" would benefit the sound. Sounds awkward to hear e.g. a door squeaking to the left, also squeaking behind you to the left.

Hi Claes,

I mean use them where they are - if you put them behind you, then certainly you should set them up as rears

But my initial point is the left and right channell can come from multiple speakers, to give a wide /enhanced soundstage, such as you now have with the arrival the 8000's  ...it may seem counter - intuitive, but actually not unknown, and not too far removed in principle from the idea behind the new Sound system in TV's that spreads sound around multiple speakers.

Those Beolab 8000's look fab with the Beovision 10. 🤒 Very nice setup.

DJ,I agree with you. My large system is setup with 4 three-way main loud speakers. I have to say - the soundstage/image is absolutely incredible. I would suggest to anyone with an extra pair of speakers do this.My new favorite entertainment is watching concerts on DVD, I feel like I'm there.

yep - nothing beats a big soundstage, with depth, space and a sort of effortless sound - particularly for music ...great results can be had, somehow greater than the sum of the two pairs ....heard this in a few rooms, and I have to say, I would try  this before putting in rears every time. 

Really good two /three channel is better than average 5 channel....a bit of movement round the room is fine, specially for sfx, but its still not as good as a HUGE sounding front L c R set up.....assuming its a choice of one or the other....obvioulsy adding rears to a LL c RR set up would give you the movemnt front to back as well.
