I like, Søren 🤒

That double album would be the test record for Beolab 8000? loaded with different songs, the inner sleve and fold-out pages containing pictures of the 1981 product catalogue or is it the one from the late 70's with test tones? 

No its a single CD and has a alu cover with a booklet inside, made 2005, for AV Mediacenter, just ordered the 6 CD set that was on the prizedraw last time.

Better, if we come to a result you can have it!😁

Another view... I designed the furniture to be able to hide each cable...

Hi Oliw,

This furniture you designed is very nice!

Your set-up is perfect without any visible cable, your BL11 seems to be everything but a sub, great!

About the technical service at the Toulouse shop, I didn't test it yet but they seem to know what they're talking about, and the staff is very kind and helpful.

Hope to see you soon at the store or meeting at a cafe.

Cheers and Place des Carmes

Ok, I think I will do what you advise me, thanks!

I cannot put the A/V system against the same wall cause it will be busy.

Look what it looks like with just a pair of BL9 (my dealer lent me yesterday) close to the BV10...with BS9000 on its floorstand, it's gonna be ugly.

Now change the orange on the BV10 to same wine red as BL9s, buy the BL9s, put the BS 9000 on the wall over the BV 10, and use the 8000s for surround sound, the small cables to the 8000 should be easy to hide, and a white small cable channel from BS 9000 down to BV 10 will hardly be visible

Hi Soren,

I finally decided to buy some cable channels (to link the BS9000 with the BV10) i began to install yesterday.

These cable channels are stuck on the skirting boards, and run from the BS9000 to the BV10 circling the chimney. 

I will replace the BL8000 with black BL9 and keep the orange fret on the BV10.

I moved the plant close to the lonely BS9000 to make this wall less empty and everything seems to look fine.

Here are some quick shots with red BL9 just to show how it looks like:

I think the BS9000 would ruin the visual harmony of the current bl9/bv10 setup. I think it's a better idea to have the bs9000 on another wall,butthen you'll have the cabling problem again.

I can't see any pictures, but judging from your description I really think that you found the best solution! :-)

I think that the B&O designs work best when you give each design the space and air that they need, that's why I think it is a good idea to keep the BS9000 on the other wall - otherwise the tv wall would get too crowded (especially if you'd put the BS above the BV) and one wouldn't be able to enjoy the beauty of the BV and the BLs. I get al little bit sad when I see how some owners put too much B&O into a too little space, but I guess it's just a matter of different opinion and taste. :-)

Hi Henrik,

My pics are still pending and waiting for a mod agreement, I don't know why as I didn't post some pics of my naked wife 😁

But hope they'll be visible soon so that you can see how the set-up looks.

I agree with your comments, I prefer my B&O stuffs to have space to breath.

To be continued...

What a shot! What amp is hiding between those Labs??

EDIT: My gut says Levinson..

Right now it's in the bedroom serving up as my bedroom stereo 😁

Here they are:

And to show how it should look like with black BL9:
