Best replacement for front 6000s

17 replies

Hi

 

present setup 2 front 6000s, 2 rear 6000s and a Beolsb 2 subwoofer. Thinking of upgrading front 6000s. What would be the best upgrade to really make a difference?

Its down to budget I guess.

8000s or BL1s if you are into tall speakers and have a bl2. These are great value now.

BL5's? 😎

Hi Thorne.

BL8000 or BL 1.

Best option, best price!

 

Sell the BL6000 + BL2. Buy BL9.

Hi Thorne,

Secondlife has a good idea, but it is not the same price!!!

 

Penta's? But then again you have the BL2.

That's what I did, replaced the front 8000's and BL2 with BL9, still have 6000's for the rear (although I have a set of 12-1's meant to replace the 6000's - just have not had the time to install)

BL9s are the obvious answer. Better bass for music and totally different top end - listen first though as not everyone likes the same thing. Obviously BL5s are the best but at quite a price.

Thanks for all the suggestions. 

 

I cannot find BL9 on the B&O webste?

 

i was thinking about BL8000, my dealer has second-hand 8002s. Much better?
