Lovely room and a great pic. Yes to a bL19 in that spot! Please post a pic when you have your new avant/eclipse. Personally think the eclipse screen may be a bit high to see over the fire place.

I went with the Avant NG 75...

Wow that looks fabulous Beotex.  The BL18s also match your floor and ceiling beams extremely well!

+1 looks fantastic - what a great space!

Brian -

Just noticed the Corona chair in your logo. You are to be complimented on your taste sir!

One of our favourite pieces - we have them in white with the foot-stool in our London place.

Belgian designer wasn't it - can't remember the name?

Alan

Hi Alan,

Thank you kindly. It’s a danish designer - Paul Volther. I am Danish and my wife is Dutch but we live in the UK and both have a strong connection to Scandinavia so the majority of our interior design is Danish; Volther, Arne Jacobsen (the egg and swan chair, AJ lamps), Hans Wegner (ox chair, papa bear chair, Y chair) Georg Jensen, Kay Bojesen and of course B&O :-)

We are in the middle of remodelling our house, as you may have read on my post, and even the windows, doors, kitchen, bathrooms and the wood burner was imported from Denmark - you could say a very Danish house in the middle of the Essex countryside.

Well spotted BTW - you clearly are a man of taste ;-)

I saw your list of kit on the North America question - that was a big step forward - I wish you many years of enjoyment.

Let us know how you go on integrating the older kit.

I am intrigued that the left hand bl18 appears more distant from the centre line of the BV ...does the BV adjust the left and right channel volumes accordingly ? BeoNut since '75

Great setup and great environment.... but this brings up a general question... if you have a home theater setup, do people really not mind having L and R speakers not  equidistant from the center channel?

This seems to be a recurring theme for several posts on this thread, which would imply that one speaker is always slightly louder than the other. I guess it doesn't matter if you're always sitting in the same place, but the symmetry would always bug me... not just visually, but audibly as well.
