That is seriously nice John, I do like the way you have used the poster in-between the speakers

Thanks Mark. In an ideal world I would have had them further apart, but this was the only practical wall space and the small, thin poster seemed the right choice :)

My gear:

- B&O Beolab 1
- B&O Beolab 2
- B&O Beolab 8000
- B&O Beocenter 2300

Beautiful set up, this combination of i think it's beolab/beomaster 5000 is my favourite and my long term aim to acquire, looks absolutely awesome

Never thought of this combination (and the poster). Great looking! How do these Beovox 5000 sound on your classic Beolab 5000?

well spotted Leslie, yes I have also lost the clock & date function on both remotes

I have these remotes as well. Must be a cap problem not having 2-way functionality. Will start this excersise again to get this 2-way back to life.

Leslie, Have now listened to the record. with the B&O equipment on the cover
Its very much music fitting the time.

It sounds like some kind of combination between James Last orchestra and the choirs of Ray Conniff.
Maybe not as intricate musical arrangement James Last could do.

Some might say, "corny" music  😕

Nice

They sound really good Leslie. Volume-wise, I don't go too high as it's my bedroom, but the Beovox are mounted on cavity walls and there is a nice bass effect from the speakers that sounds great. There is quite a lot of power available from a relatively small set up, which is perfect for a smaller room.

I tried my BV Pentas with the Beolab 5000, but prefer the BV 5000s :)

You could of course get a bit more (0.4-0.5 m?) audible separation by just swapping them around. But I think they look better the way they are now - a very pretty setup!

I'd have mine closer together if I were reinstalling them now. The speaker centers are 3 meters apart and the listening position is 3 meters away. Fine for music, but not for the TV that is between the speakers; it sounds exactly like playing from two separate speakers around the TV.

These are actually quite difficult speakers to place properly. I have to admit that when I was looking for the new flat, one of the major things I always considered was where I would be installing the BL5000s! 😂

Hi John, tomorrow both my Beolabs and master 5000 will be finished and will connect Beovox 5000 flatpanels or M150's. Two weeks holiday so lots of things to do on my B&O stuff. I will post Lots Of Pictures :-)
