Set Up For B and O Speakers

8 replies
Hello I am wondering what recommendations are out there for the following latest range of b and o speakers, a pair of Beolab 20s, a pair of Beolab 18s, a single Beolab 19 and a Beosound 35.

I also have my disposal a further set of 18s, a set of 6000s, a Beolab 2 and a set of mk2 8000s and a b and o moment, an essence and tv. Anyone offer help on how I should set my arrangement up and what I should clear out, thanks
What are you looking to accomplish? One room? Multiple rooms? Lots of great items.
Thanks for the reply I would use them in my living room often and another set up in my bedroom which would be used on a limited basis looking forward to your suggestion.
I would suggest the Moment for the living room and the Essence for the bedroom.

For the living room either 4 18s, with the 19,....or the 20s as fronts with 18s as rears, depending on your opinion of how the two options look and sound. I had a pair of 20s and was very happy with them. However I think some believe 18s with the 19 sound just as good, maybe better. However, if you use the 20s you will not need a sub.

For the bedroom, 6000s sounds great. I have a pair. But if you do not use all 4 18s in the living room you could use one pair in the bedroom. This option would give you the newest and still available speakers in both rooms.

Or the Beosound 35 would make a great all in one system for the bedroom.
Awesome thanks for the response so I don’t need the 19 if I use Beolab 20s front and 18s back In the living room so can let it go?
Also would it be worth integrating my Beovision 7-55 to the moment and the 20s and 18s or leave it using either a Beosound 7.2 or a Beolab 10 whatever is most desirable and best sound thanks again
Correct. With the 20s there is no need for a sub. The bass in the 20s is more than sufficient. Additionally, having the two bass units in the 20s as opposed to just one sub enhances the sound.

The 7-55 would work perfectly. I have one and had my 20s connected to it. The speaker settings in the BV7 will not include the 20s so you would set them up as Beolab 5s in the BV7. Using the 7-2 or 10 with BV7 would work perfectly with the 20s and 18s.

I use a Beosound Core with my BV7 and connected it directly to the optical in of the 20s. I assume something similar could be done with the Moment, but I have never had one so am not sure. There are others here with more knowledge than me. Perhaps they could answer in more detail than I can.
Thank you for your help much appreciated
