It must be the BL5s! I think it's interesting that you didn't put them all into the one 7.1 setup in the end ... Instead, it seems you placed them around the house to create listening/watching zones, right? Did you try 4 or 6 BL5s in the 7.1 setup prior to your decision to go for BL9s/BL3s as side/rear speakers instead?

No i was advised by the dealer that B&O's recomended setup is the 5's, 9's & 3's with a center. Some would possibly think this is overboard with the 9's but i am rapt with it.

I wish i could afford 6 BL5's in the theatre setup, but a little beyond me at this stage. 😕 What with the upkeep of the wife and all! 👍

I would have bought a BV9 instead of buying the BL9's and a BSYS3...

I  really enjoy my movies on the big screen so the projector gets most of the work. I wouldn't so no to a bv4-103 but that will have to remain a dream (short of lotto)

Yes and you could at any stage add a projector and switch between the TV and Projector with your remote.

This is how i have my setup with a Pioneer Plasma and a Sony projector.
