Hi there!
I am new to Beoworld and I am planning to upgrade my home. We have an old Bose Wave system and thought its time to have a nice upgrade. We love interior design a lot, and is wondering to get BL18 with BL19 or just the BL20. I wonder if anyone would have an experience on how the sound would be different?
We love to hear the voice of singing, and we dont need huge bass. Some sort of round and all around sound range would be perfect.
Thanks a lot!
Dear Carlo,
Thanks a lot for your pictures! I agree too the BL 18/19 are really artistically pleasant. I thought of if the 2 woofers in the 18s will be switched to mid-range specific speakers leaving the low frequency sounds to be only produced in the 19, the overall sound quality would be be comparable to the 20. Anyhow, I think when getting a B&O the exterior is as important as the sound. I will get my 18+19 then.

It is quite difficult to convince myself with the difference in sound quality between the 18+19 and 20 now that I learned about the speakers of the 18 will turn into mid-range when connected to 19. However, the 20 might as well has a larger mid-range that might account for the better sound quality. In any case, I might go to the showroom one day to check it out!
Hi
I think BL20 are so small :(
Would go with BL18 + BL19.
And if you do not want to much bass you just turn of sub..i have done that way and it's perfect.
I would like to revive this thread and ask if anyone has had recent experience in comparing sound between the BL18+19 and the BL20.
in November, I listened to each at the Boston store and actually preferred the 18+19 combo at that time, recalling that the highs sounded more crisp and pleasant to me. But I have been living with a 10” powered subwoofer in my family’s non-B&O 5.1 system and the bass is great.
For the price on the secondary market of about USD$7,000, a pair of BL20 seems like a steal over, say, B&W 803 D3 or 802 D3. But if I could get a great deal on a BL19 to add to my 18s, it would be much more cost effective.
Any new thoughts on BL18+19 versus BL20? Cheers!
Well, all I can tell you is that since I recently - and finally - got a Deezer HiFi subscription, while my BL20's are connected to my BS Core via TOSLINK, I keep getting amazed by the sound. Each and every note and instrument has soul and feeling in it, you can hear the instruments being feathered, tortured, all of it.
The only downside, regarding sound, is that you immediately notice bad recording studios...
