Bought Beolab 5 and Beosound 9000

39 replies

We spent all day getting them home yesterday.

Can I just say I love women right now. The wife of the man we bought the speakers from said she didn't like the speakers and made him sell them. In addition he threw in the BS 9000, we got a really good deal :-)

 

We are enjoying the set up process.  I will post pics soon of the new living room. These speakers are really cool.

 

So ... I am poor for the next few months.... but have more reason to stay home :-)

Remember to connect the S/PDIF to both speakers (daisy-chain).

How are your neighbours? 😎

Hey it's all daisy chained..... 

the neighbours are ok... I think. Well I'm not really sure. They hate us anyway.😎

I'd like to post pics... but I'm not sure if you can do that?

Here are the speakers they replaced. There is so much more room here now.

 

Now I need to get rid of the old speakers.... but I have no idea who would want to buy them.

and here is the BV8-32 I wouldn't have bought if I knew I was about to buy these speakers......

 

I guess though the quality of the TV was what convinced Andy to go with the Beolab 5's anyway. Nice way to get in the door :-)

😉 Your house looks stunning!!

hey thanks... 

the ex from my partner was an architect so he designed it...

I have to say the speakers look great..... and they even sound good too !

Congrats! I believe you'll be spending the rest of the day enjoying your CDs all over again. 😁

Do experiment with moving the speakers out from the back wall a bit - listen for whether it makes for a tighter bass response. If not, just leave them there, but I suspect you might hear a better bass definition if they're not up against the wall as in the photo.

Cheers!

Agreed - while the BeoLab 5s do allow greater flexibility of placement than other large speakers due to the ABC, they still sound better when placed correctly!

I've just pulled my B&W standmounts out an extra 4" from the wall, and the difference it's made is phenomenal!

Congratulations Luke!

Now you can enjoy your CD-collection with a fantastic cd-player. I put mine in random and just lay down and enjoy both the look and the sound.

And I guess that when the sound from your BL5 you cant be anything but happy:-)

Nice room you have.
