Hi Miki, I follow your channels on youtube all the time. Great stuff!
I have a few questions, and begin I will paint you a picture of my current set up:
65in Beovision center.
Beolab 50 L/R.
No woofer
No rear surround
I want to add surround rear for my current set up. I'm an active music listener and appreciate UHD movies.
In lieu of 2 beolab 18 as rear surround (for movies really, for all the wizzing bullets and doppler effects...), a cheaper solution would be a BeoSound Stage.
Questions:
Sound production quality wise, will the BeoS stage out perform the beolab 18s in quality? in movies? in music?
Assuming it is Dolby ATOMS, I can actually turn the bar upside down so it's "firing" downward and invert the L/R rear input channels on the BeoVision. This can be done correct? Reason i want to fire down is so i can place the bar slighly above head level to get the "ceiling" affect without adding more speakers to it. I love more speakers but i really shouldn't... (We are not audiophiles, we are HiRes Crackheads) =)
I understand it's more unidirectional for the sound bar, as your recent videos showed in the BeO Store reviewing the stage. Or is it not so given that the ATOMS of the sound bar create a surround effect in the rear?
I really appreciate your thoughts, time and especially your expertise on this!
