Thanks everyone... I will have a go at moving them out a bit more.....

does anyone know how it knows which is left and which is right?

I hope we got it the right way around or is that automated somehow?

There's a little switch inside the cable compartment - you set it for L or R, have to set it on both.

Where it says

RIGHT
LEFT

Just to the right of that, you'll see the little switch.

I know I keep harping on the placement being important, but think of them as musical instruments. Where would you place a cellist who was to perform in your room? 😁

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

I'm wondering if I have my BL5s connected correctly as I did this myself. S/PDIF daisy chained? I have powerlink cables coming out of the BC2, as well as a digital cable connected to one BL5. The other BL5 is daisy chained with a powerlink cable?

Luke - your place looks good!

Ooooh, Moxxey. You need to have one digital cable going to one speaker, from your audiomaster or other source, and then another digital cable going from that speaker to the next. Connect the first digital cable to the DIGITAL IN on the first speaker, and the other cable to the OUT on that speaker, and then of course to the IN on the other speaker.

You may have been listening to a digital signal on one speaker, and the PL signal on the other ... if I understand you right.

Hey Luke

You picture makes me want them. Good for you and enjoy them.

BTW where are you in Switzerland? Did you have to travel far to get the gear, I see very few ads for quality used B&O gear ( I'm living close by Geneva)

I stand corrected - I just checked. I have both a digital lead and powerlink lead from one BL5 to the other (from OUT to IN). So, is that right?

Hey Luke!

Congrats for your purchase! Your living room looks fabulous, and the BL5 match the flair of the room and the entire house I tink! 🤒

Enjoy them!

Hey thanks, I sent you a PM :-)

We have moved them out from the wall again. Which is great because I get to watch them calibrate again 😁

I really want to hear a pair of BL5. Do they have them at dealers?
