Johan,

Do the BL9's need the BL2 sub or would they replace that also.  If they can, then by the time I have re-homed a pair of BL8 and a BL2, the cost to change will probably not be too bad?

Front speakers for BeoVision 10 on the wall? Get BeoLab 5000! They match perfectly in height & depth, and they are flat in design, that really shows B&O were 20 years ahead of their time when they introduced those, and I still don't understand why they haven't released a new flat panel BeoLab to match BeoVisions, now that they are all flat and wall mountable..Come on, Struer, do something!!

With the 8000's I regularly felt the need for an additional sub (BL2). Now having the 9's, that feeling disappeared completely! However that's all very personal. I have to say I'am in a very favourite position as my nephew is a B&O dealer in Holland, meaning I am able to test more or less any B&O kit I would like. During the last year I had the BL 8000, 3, 9 and 5's for a personal review in our average sized appartment. Speaking in terms of best value for money, as far as the actual range of Beolab speakers is concerned, my personal preference are the 9's. So I went for the 9's and I really enjoy them ever since.

I agree with Chrisreunion, BeoLab 5000 is the perfect math and a great speaker. I also hope for a new flat speaker. With todays development in technology it should be possible.

If I was buying a BV10 I would definitely get some Beolab 5000s to go with it. Has anyone done this? I'd love to see the results!

I can see the point but you will need quite an expanse of wall! 😂 Given my 5000s away so can't comment! 

Yes, Peter is quite right, they do need some space, especially in conjunction with a BV10 on the same wall. I don't have my Lab 5000's paired to a BV10, or any other flat screen for that matter. But I'm sure that the combination would be absolutely great.
