WOW! This’s Truly Amazingly! How does BeoLab 50 do against Lab 90? Are we talking about S500 against E400 or what? 😁! Christmas Party Must Be Amazingly Beo👍🏿👍!
Superb!
My own setup of Beolab Penta/Beolab 3000 with a 75" projection screen just can't compete with this! 😁 Glad to have been able to support your project in a small way, the results look very impressive.
Kind regards, Steve.

Great question! And great analogy of S500 against E400. I have the exact same question.WOW! This’s Truly Amazingly! How does BeoLab 50 do against Lab 90? Are we talking about S500 against E400 or what? ! Christmas Party Must Be Amazingly Beo👍🏿👍!
The Lab 90s and Lab 50s seem pretty well matched when playing surround sound music. Original quad systems required four identical speakers at equal distances, but being able to control the volume and distance of front and rear speakers independently eliminates that need.
Hey Politician, quick question... how come you didn’t go with a Beogram 8002 with a MMC1?Secondly wouldn’t it be better to run your BL90 and BL50 without the BL10 fir movie and TV viewing? 70 to 80% of audio normally comes from just the center speakers while watching regular movies. That’s such a waste of the BL90s.What a beautiful setup. Absolutely the best of B&O... love thx mix of vintage!
What a shear and utter delight to behold that collection and read about the setup.
The question begs itself: how easy is your system to operate, and is the experience seamless?
Hey Politician, quick question... how come you didn’t go with a Beogram 8002 with a MMC1?
The Beogram 8002 cannot reproduce quadraphonic records. If I hadn't needed quad playback, that's probably what I would have opted for (or a Beogram 4000).
Secondly wouldn’t it be better to run your BL90 and BL50 without the BL10 fir movie and TV viewing? 70 to 80% of audio normally comes from just the center speakers while watching regular movies. That’s such a waste of the BL90s.
Switching out the centre channel would allow me to run the BL90 and BL50 with high latency (which otherwise causes an echo effect with the BL10), but I think it makes more sense to reproduce films in the audio format that the creators intended (i.e. five-channel rather than four).
The question begs itself: how easy is your system to operate, and is the experience seamless?
On the whole, pretty easy. Quadraphonic vinyl and reel-to-reel playback (which I suspected would be the difficult part) is pretty seamless, but I'm experiencing some minor cabling issues with the Cambridge CXU and Masterlink to the BL50, which should be sorted out in the next few days.
