New user here. Decided to post my setup, which seems to be quickly expanding! Beolab 6000s with brand new drivers and soon to be a matching set of Beolab 4000s (coming on Tuesday)!

Great setup, im interested in how tou are sending the signals to the bl6000s as i see no beosound/centre in the picture?  what are the 4000s like compared to your 6000s?

Some people here may have seen it on the new forum... So I also post it here.

That was my previous flat (I'm still between 2 flats, only one changes...), everything is now ready to move to another flat... With coffee tables this time! It was a kind of "danish corner"...

Now I will have to find a place for the light in a standard 2,5m roof flat! 😂

Very picture.. Although the BV8 is discontinued.. Find it a classic design already...

I think that the BV8 was the perfect TV for me as it was not a "design statement" TV (BV10 is beautiful but it's too much for my taste), just a B&O TV with a superb center speaker, high end picture quality, built-in 5.1, and a nice and discrete style.

Now it will be connected to my videoprojector with an Atlona 4x2 HDMI switch, supported by the PUC as if it was internal connexions... I like how the software have added features that weren't there when I bought it (just sad that I have to pay 80€ for the update... And that Atlona prices are crazy!)

What features are you referring to?

It's not a lot, but it's not bad : the fact that a HDMI hub (Atlona/Gefen) can be accessed as if it was internal HDMI is something well done for a TV that had initially only 2 HDMI inputs... Now you can assign a source to HDMI 3 or HDMI 4...

I have a Rotel RSP-1068 surround preamp/processor sending signals via line in. My setup is a 4.1 surround sound (Weird I know). 6ks up front, 4ks in the rear, and a B&W sub. The Rotel filters out the center channel and splits it between the 6ks. My TV is not very center channel friendly seeing as the stand is low and the whole length of the tv. I find that the 6000s imaging is good enough (for now) to mimic a center channel. I haven't missed one at all.

As for comparing the 4000s to the 6000s... I think the 4000s are a LOT more musical than the 6000s. Any music sounds great on both, but the 4000s definitely sound more full and really do a great job of disappearing in the room. As for movies, I definitely prefer the 6000s as fronts. They are a lot more intense and direct. I also think they do a better job of creating a soundstage where you can pinpoint specific locations of sounds (great for movies). IMO I think the 6000s are the most beo-sounding of the pair, I don't know why, but I can tell they are B&O just by listening.

A word of caution if you are buying used 6000s: the rubber surrounds on the drivers crack and wear out after about 6-10 years, and the speakers sound like CRAP. It costs a couple hundred bucks to order new drivers from B&O (there is a thread on it with part #s somewhere here). DON'T order new rubber surrounds online, as I hear they are stiffer and really make the speaker sound a lot more shallow (these guys need to be free, they move a LOT).

Start an reply, and you see up left the tab "compose", change to "options" instead. There you will find "file attachment" and "add/update".
