Are the BL3's acting a centre channel or sides? Do you still get good stereo separation if they are sides?

Furthermore, I have DSpeaker Dual Core 2.0 room correction device added between the Essence and the BeoLab 11.

Beautiful record player.

This is a point of interest to me, could you please explain why you have the DSpeaker room correction between Essence and BL11. What are your listening experiences with the DSpeaker and the setup in a way you are using it? Have you ever added the DSpeaker between the BL3's + BL11, I mean between your complete setup and how it sounds with or without room correction?

Thanks :)

The connections are: Essence -> DSpeaker -> BeoLab 11 -> BeoLab 3's

In other words, the BeoLab 11 does its internal bass management before passing the signal on to the BeoLab 3's. This was the BeoLab 3's do not try and produce the entire frequency spectrum but can focus on what they do best while the BeoLab 11 does the same on the lower frequencies. However, the DSpeaker that is upstream can correct both the frequencies that are reproduced by the BeoLab 11 as well as those by the BeoLab 3's (well, up to 500Hz at least - still experimenting if lifting the upea limit for corrected frequencies from 120Hz to 500Hz has any downsides that are outweighing the benefits).

So far I like what the DSpeaker does and my listening space does not even appear to be that bad...

Just received this little beauty and I'm very happy with it! I've always wanted a Beolit 500 and I plan to wall mount it when I can get round to fabricating a bracket!

Here's my current setup. Upgraded from 3s to 18s to now 5s. They are connected to a Playmaker/projector/Apple TV. I also have a A9 in my bedroom. Login to view image

I've tilted the 5s inward since this picture was taken. Currently, it's sent via AirPlay from Apple TV to Playmaker. It's not the best option as I have several remotes and it cuts out sometimes, but it works. I'm considering a BeoVision Avant 55, but that means I sacrifice screen size for simplicity and surround sound. Not sure what I'll do yet.

Looks awesome!
