BL 5 close to BV 10 / Pics to share?

9 replies

Hi guys,

Now that I have BL9, I think about replacing them with BL5....

But I don't know what it would look like close to my BV10-40.

Do you have some pics to share to show me how such a set-up looks like?

Thanks

Are you buying an art installation or best sound loudspeaker?😮

Hi Edouard,

first...

BUY A CARPET!!!!! 👍

The BL9 will sound better if you furnish a little bit your room... And the BL5 will not sound as good as it can sound in your empty livingroom...

I once installed a pair of Beolab 5's in a room with an exposed stone wall, polished ceramic floor, 3 glass walls and a high, angled glass ceiling. There were no soft furnishings of any description and it sounded terrible!

I have a similar problem where I live as I have very high ceilings and a polished floor in the main room although it isn't as bad as that. You definitely do need some soft furnishings for good sound, especially with powerful speakers.

This i with BeoVision 10-46. On friday i get B&O Cabinet Small. It wil stand to the left from the tv. 

Location: Bergen

Hi Marc,

I know what you advise me.

My wife's parents will offer us a big carpet for christmas, that's some good news!

About the BL5, I've already ordered them...they should be delivered on december the 6th...

Thanks for your reply! Hope these beasts will release their strength at home with my future carpet ;)

Amazing set-up! Thanks for sharing!

 

Cheers,

Here are shots (taken from my B&O store) of the BL5 close to a BV10-40:

The fact I decided to buy (today) some BL5 to replace my BL9 is because I felt like touching the angels hands but not god's...If you understand what I mean.

To me, as a B&O fan for years, I've always wanted to get some BL5 as they are the Holy Grail for me.

Cheers guys,

Yes, Steffen's set-up is amazing - much better than your store photo.

I can't wait to hear / see Evan's response when he sees WHITE Beolab 5s 😂

 

 

And Steffen, a very big welcome to Beoworld - thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures

You do have an amazing set-up

Quite beautiful

Sorry Elephant, I asked my dealer to move the BL5 from the Beoliving close to a BV10-40 in the rush to see how it would look like at home...

But, I'm with you to welcome Steffen and his very nice set-up!
