That looks cool, really cool - congrats.

I have always wanted to own a pair of B&O  BL/18s and was lucky enough to pick up this superb pair of 90th Anniversary edition ones a few weeks ago, and last week the wall brackets arrived, I have only just put them up and connected all and I must say it does sound sublime and superior compared to the many other speakers I have owned in the past.

Thanks

Greetings from my new home office. Still a work in progress, but I have achieved the main goal of uniting my BeoLab 5000 and BeoMaster 5000 with my existing 3000-2 and 4000 to complete the set. Combined with my old projects like the BG1202 and my BeoVox 2500 homage this office is quickly turning into a B&O museum / lounge.

I found my BL5K + BM5K while living in Koeln, Germany. Sadly the other large bits of Beo I collected there did not make it home (BV10, BV8, BL8K) but I wasn't letting myself come home without at least a BL5K. It needs to see the workbench soon so I can convert its euro power cord to a US version before I can see how it sounds with the S45-2 (something I'm really looking forward to!).

At any rate, my Beo-bits and I are are all under the same roof again and my life can return to normal again. Maybe in the near future I will try to procure/build some floor stands for the BeoVoxes and make room for a BG4002 or my BC2300 (both of which are waiting for repairs in the other room).

Right now I have the S45-2s being driven by the 3000-2 and all I can say is WOW these things are incredible! I forgot how dense these things were!!

Today I placed a Beolab 7.1 on a self made bracket to my wall (in centre underneath the LG C9 oled) and used the same 'speaker-cloth' on the grill, matching the Beolab 8000's.

All wires directly invisible into the wall, going to the Playmaker, hidden underneath the shelf.
Very happy with the result.

Wow, perfect tuttivini!

I have always wanted a BL3500 or a BS35 for our bathroom, and the other day I found a relatively new BL3500 with SW version 3.1 (supporting a.aux) at a price of only 120 EUR. 

An offer I could not say no to :-)

Verrrrrrry nice! A relaxing shower with some 'Ibiza lounge music' will never be the same again 👍

I have exactly the same in my bathroom, connected to a Chromcast-Audio, which I placed 'inside' the Beolab 3500:

Hi,

How are you using them on daily basis? Do you use the powerlink hack with the remote or do you find any way of making them "fully" standalone?

I press Menu-04-GO on the BEO4 to activate the line-in (which is connected to the chromecast-audio, tucked away inside the bl3500).
If I power off the bl3500 (with the BEO4) I have to press 'Menu-04-GO' again to activate the line-in... So sometimes I just leave the bl3500 on...Downside is it uses a little more power than standby (I guess) and you can hear a very little hum/hiss, like all active speakers/beolabs have if you listen very carefully (I have good ears).
So not the 'best' option. A rca/powerlink input with auto sensing (like all other beolabs) would be nicer, but it works and looks and sound are excellent in the bathroom.
