hi,

very nice !

two quick questions. what you turn it, what exactly moves, does the whole circular shiny metal move ?

how much clearance exactly for something sitting on the stand itself ?  i'm looking to put a bl3 on the stand right in front of the tv, will anything bump ?

thanks. i look forward to your photo with the bl9 ...

From the bottom of the DVD, to the stand base is about 23cm, when the DVD is opened this drops to about 21.5cm.

The height of the BL3 is 23cm (top of the acoustic lens bit), and about 20cm if ignoring the acoustic lens.

From the front of the BV7 screen to the edge of the stand base is about 13cm, and the BL3 is 17cm deep.

So it may be a bit tight fit to place the BL3 under the BV7, better to see if a dealer could remove a BL7.2 in the shop and squeeze the BL3 under the TV.

Hope this helps. 

Scott, with my current setup I faced the same challenge! Wife liked the 7.2, but the two Lab5 said 7.4 or Lab3.

 So I did an intensive testing with the three different speaker. Suprisingly the lab3 did not work very well as center (at least with the lab5), it always felt ike something is missing.

The 7.2 and the 7.4 did a better job as center speaker, after a full day switching back and force I went with the 7.4 but the difference is much smaller than most would guess....furthermore, a 5.1 setup is mostly used for movies, so once you are pulled into the story of the movie, this little difference is just for the records 

So no worries, go with the lab 7.2!
