And why he mounted both the Beolab 4000 with the speakers on te right side?🙁

Well spotted! I think the owner has some issues... 🤔

 

Well it appears to me that they are both Left-hand BL4000's!!!!!  W E I R D.

While i'm her, something is also very wrong with what the TV is placed on! Is it a cupboard door on a block of polysterene >>?

 

Hello there ,

 

   I just wanted to say that this image was taken in my home and I'm the proud "unstable" owner of this system. Besides the fact that I love the sound of it , let me tell you how I got this speakers:

      Each one of them was purchased separately from ebay as "good deals".

Because I couldn't afford to invest 25000 eur in beolab 5 + beocenter 2 and so on , I tried to make the best of what I found.

I will try to find frets and housing to match the colour of each speaker, but for now this is all I could afford.

I hope that you had a good time laughfing about this. I will also try to paint the ouverture in green in order to give you more entertainment.

Thank You

Stefan

Stefan,

B&O always gives me a great deal of pleasure and that's what its about. I am sure you get the same amount of pleasure when using it. There are some great deals to be had on Ebay and as you say, the speaker frets can be changed quite easily so you have actually made some really good choices assuming that the equipment bought from Ebay is high quality and 'stable.'

Enjoy your setup.

Simon.

(I knew this would happen one day … 👍)

 

I wouldn’t take the comments on that picture that seriously, Stefan (- you wouldn’t, if you’d seen  places in which I’d lived, not to mention there would be no B&O). Actually, I think your story is quite a good one, and as you indicated yourself, a B&O setup can be improved on with a relatively easy and quick fix … as opposed to eg the reputation of those distinguished guys whose pictures were recently taken in Silvio Berlusconi’s villa – and published. Personally, I think even that doesn’t go beyond what’s, well, rather very human … 😁

Despite the cosmetical notes mentioned i'd like to suggest you could maybe try to spread the speakers a bit more because now i think the speakers' sonic dispersion will cross with each other and the effect you'll get is called "comb filtering" which will cut down some frequencies and thus delete some parts of the sound. I think manuals on these speakers will give you good tips on placing the speakers optimally in certain spaces.

 

Cheers,

Hi Slupascu,

If you only wanted to get B&O sound for low money, why didn't you get only one pair of speaker? One (correct couloured) pair of 6000 or 4000 (your choice) would simply had cost less that your four speakers... You then could connect the pair to your TV, and the TV to the Beosound, in order to get music+TV on the same speakers. 😐

Thx for all your replyes.

I will try to follow your advices and I'll post more images soon and we'll see.

 

I have already begun by changing the burgundy speaker in black... found some spare parts in a broken one :)  ... I 'm trying to improve .....

 

Next move will be to replace the TV... I 'm expecting a B&O beovision 6 from Germany

 

Hope to be able to spread the speakers around and get a beolab 2 ... but I need time....
