...thanks. Not particularly an issue as I see it. The distance between the window and the top of the speaker is a little more than a meter and the sound still centered pretty well. However I did move the speaker slightly inside after I snapped this photo. Again, the bl5's phantom center works very well indeed.Very nice...nice combination of mid-century furniture as well! Do you notice any issues with one speaker being close to a reflecting surface and the other more free standing? Jeff Beovirus victim, it's gotten to be too much to list!

No, I was using an IPhone 6 today. In B&O Knightsbridge they have a lifestyle section upstairs which includes David Lewis's kitchen. Tried to post a pic. Very nice people.Harrods was at least consistent in its ability to totally ignore the only customer on his third lap of their empty shop. Loewe next door couldn't wait to make eye contact and demo their latest speakers etc, as did LG and Samsung.
I have nothing but high praise for B&O Knightsbridge i haven't encountered service as good as what i received there anywhere.
Congrats, very nice setup. Can you share a bit how you did the cabling with the BL3 and also with the BL11. I don't see any on the photo and there should be two for each speaker.
Thanks!
I have thin cable canals that I have glued on the wall. For the BL3:s the canal (including both good old Powerlink and mains) goes behind the curtain and then down to the floor and continue to the cabinet and the BV11. Same for the BL11. Thin cable canals on top of the "floor socket" (don´t know the correct english word 🙂 )
Can take a more detailed photo this evening.

Thanks, a more detailed photo would be great. You are describing a thin cable canal, but from what I see it will need to carry 2 cables (PL and power) and then even 4 (4PL and 2 power) once you reach the flloor. Unless you have a power plug behind the curtain, which would still make it 2 PL cables and then yet again 3 (incl. BL11 PL cable) once you up again to the BV. I am planning a somewhat similar setting, so very curious how you set it up so perfectly!
I can confirm that this is true as well.
Not only are all amps active, but the software does not know how to block any channel when hocked up as a 4.1 system.

This is what it looks like at the left speaker:
Canal cover mains and powerlink. It runs down alongside the window down to the floor.
The powerlink from the right speaker is going over the window and into the canal as you can see on the below picture.
There is a little gap above the window so Im able to push the powerlink down to have it concealed. The curtain is covering this corner.
The mains cable from right speaker is going down a cable canal exactly like on the left side, since I have a power outlet on that side of the window as well.
This is what it looks like where all cables meet (except mains to the right speaker.
PL for both speakers + mains for left speaker. TV and Radio antenna cable.
They go into a bigger cable canal.
Could be made more neat, but its all covered by the curtain 😎

My Beoloved 5s... In my living room not photographed, I also have a set of bl3 for the surround sound.
Really nice.
Love the color scheme. The Barcelona chairs are classics. What brand is the TV? An Avant would look nice :)

No center speaker(s)?
You do use some kind of preamp?
How are things connected?
I see a Beo4!

Thank you... The tv is a samsung f8000 75". The avant would have been too small for me, as the sitting distance is about 20' for the second Barcelona (centered and not pictured). For the future I envision an oled of the same size. I hope B&o plunges in that technology.Really nice. Love the color scheme. The Barcelona chairs are classics. What brand is the TV?

No center speaker. There are times when I wish I had one, but on well mastered material the phantom center works wonders. My preamp is a Denon a1hdci. The beo4 is simply used for on/off and volume control only when I listen to music digitally via Mac mini/ impact twin sound card.@Maab No center speaker(s)? You do use some kind of preamp? How are things connected? I see a Beo4! MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.
