Yesterday I started playing around with my setup and took a while. Before I had BL19 in the corner and the BL18 as rear speakers and using the Avant speakers as my left centre and right channels. I now have my BL18s as front speakers, have moved the BL19 out from the corner and now have moved my BL3 from the other room to become the rear speakers with the receiver 1 for each of the BL3 (WISA) That means I now have an essence and an IR eye that I’m not using. I don’t think there is a way I can use the BL3 with the essence AND the receiver 1? Here are the updated pics which I am happy with the setup and sound. Login to view image Login to view image

If someone showed me this layout in the abstract (corner positions, room connection, nearby wall reflections), I would be quite surprised that it sounded decent at all! Guess it's a testament to the radiation pattern of the acoustic lens. Your choice to swap the 18's to the front L/R makes good sense to me, as does moving the 19 out of the corner.
Sorry I cannot help with your question, but I wanted to post to say I *love* your matching polished aluminum "BeoLamps" -- it's as if Ross Lovegrove had waltzed through the room, waved his hands and done a Uri Geller, bending the lamps to his wishes! (Now there would be a worthy successor to David Lewis; imagine what the BL50 *could* have looked like...)

Looks great

Assuming that your Essence is a 2nd Gen, just connect that to your network somewhere, where it fits (preferedly hardwired)
and set it up as an integrated device of the Avant.
This way you can reach it directly via the Avant/the X-app.
Look here for inspiration:
/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/bs-essence-in-an-integrated-setup-with-tv#post-2096466
If you fancy that - you could connect a turntable to the line in and play vinyl on your Avant setup.
You could also place it somewhere else in the house and connect an S3 (as an example) to it to play music - in a hall or a guestroom.
Plug the ir-eye in to it for convenience.
When you then connect it to the Avant, you can reach the (some of) its sources from there.
I wish you happy playing.....and playing music ;-)
P.S. If not already done, you really should make a Speakers Group with the two BL3’s by that chair.
Sitting there listening to music will be like having giant headphones ;-)))

Always fun to change things around a little. Looks good as always Michael. I guess that corner is realistically the only place the TV can go?Yesterday I started playing around with my setup and took a while. Here are the updated pics which I am happy with the setup and sound.
Great idea MM !P.S. If not already done, you really should make a Speakers Group with the two BL3’s by that chair.Sitting there listening to music will be like having giant headphones ;-)))

Aluminium looks awesome
Aluminium looks fantastic, especially as you have white speaker cloth on the BL5s.Finally got my aluminium front today. It’s great to have the black fabric in case I change my mind some day. But what do you think? Fabric cover or aluminium? Which is the best looking? //EA Beo in white is my thing Currently own: BeoVision Avant 55", BeoLab 5, BeoLab 18, BeoRemoteOne, BeoPlay V1-32", BeoRemote4, BeoSound 3200, BeoGram 6500 (MMC-1), BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, LC2, BeoVision MX7000 and BeoLab 3
