Hi synth, only had the 3s for 2 weeks at the momeant they are  not where i would really like them but i have to take small steps ( compromise ).                 My room is not that big ,about 5x5 meters ,i can only at the moment compair to "taditional" speakers/amps, i think the 3s sound so good all through the range, i feel like i now have a subwhoofer as well .Only going up to 36 on overture read-out ( when neighbours are in) so they have a lot more to give,so if i could crank them up i have no fear they would deliver.                                                                                                                                                                             Sold all my old hi-fi now so no going back!

My living room setup - not the best photo admittedly but the light was challenging (that's my excuse anyway).

6000s holding up the rear. However this part of the room is not very B&O photogenic (lots of guitar cases and books) so this is all you're getting for now!

Hi Paul 00,

Actually that was a question I was going to ask - the room I have is 4m wide x 8m long and carpeted, but we only use the first part of it for viewing tv ( so the listening space is 4m x 4m in effect ) - do you think its necessary to get a subwoofer? I plan on mounting ther 3s up on the walls ( perhaps 1m below roof ) but wasnt sure as to whether that would mean subwoofer needed. I'm also interested in how your 3s are installed - table, wall or stand or roof?

We dont watch a lot of loud movies or loud music ( mostly jazz music ) so I was curious as to how they'd handle such music.    

Thoughts welcome...

Nice setups! 

Makes me want to buy more B&O. 😁

Thanks Bayerische! I remember the photos of your setup which were fairly gratuitous - almost not suitable for daytime viewing. How is it treating you? :)

Hah, that's actually an interesting idea. Maybe I should get a Philips HUE Light Strip and wrap it around the Beolab 9's. It might look nice.

Hi synth,

Well here we go, at the moment my 3s are on a table on rings less than a meter apart (too close i know but not for too long,i hope!) 80cm from the floor, i had a demo at my local b&o dealer, the 3s there were about how you want yours up on a wall,my demo was mostly quite loud,(for my sins i like a lot of hard rock,but also lots of other stuff ,big ABBA fan!). The bass blew me away,i have been rediscovering my cds,to me they handle it all very well,just played some carpenters,roger waters and the eagles all a bit more mellow, sounds so good( i think i am sounding a bit sad, but i think getting in to b&o has been the best thing i have done for a very long time) .                                                                                                                                                                   Will try some  other placements when i got the chance,i  think even with my little experience they work with lots of music , no jazz in my racks sorry,but i look forward to hearing how you get on.
