Multiroom - BV7+8002's or A6?

14 replies

Thanks a lot Hiort! Really appreciate your advice.

I'm actually lacking power sockets where the BV7/8002s are so the powerline would have to go into a 10 way socket extension thingy. Would still work well enough do you think?

From a cost perspective, it seems like there won't be too much difference between the BLC + powerline + a masterlink cable solution vs an A6. What I'm wondering is which will give the superior sound? I somehow assume the 8002's (could even include the BL 7-2 I guess) but perhaps I'm wrong here.

Thanks

Will probably work, but its not ideal since you will loose a lot of the bandwith. The general recommendation is to avoid extensions. You can always try, and see what bandwith you will get.

I would not compare the A6 to a setup with 8002:s. 8002s are of course superior.

if you would choose the Beoplay A6, you will come to a point when you also want to integrate your BV7+speakers.

thus - a NL/ML converter.

If it was my choice I would opt for the NL/ML converter................... just because the integration of it all (Beolink multiroom)

 

 

NB: the Beoplay A6 sounds astonishing, but the BL8002 + 7.2 will sound better
