Setup Recommendations

8 replies

Hi quick three questions to the forum users. I have a beosound moment, a set of beolab 18s and a set of 20’s. First question is it worth investing in either a Beolab 2 or 19 for extra bass?  Second what is the best set up of the 18 and 20 combination and the 18, 2 or 19 and 20 config thanks in advance 

Does that mean that you run both sets off the Moment?

If yes, how far apart are the two sets of speakers - in different rooms, maybe?

With the 20’s you’d definitely not need a sub/the 2 or 19!

Hi yes both from the moment they are both in the same room, is this overkill?

Well, that depends on the size of your room ;-))

Anyway, in that case I would definitely reckon a sub as overkill.....besides, never think of a BL2, if you think of a music setup.

Great thanks for the advice 

MM, do you (or anyone else) recommend a particular B&O sub for both music AND movies?

That really depends on your room and the speakers, that you want to support with the sub.

And it depends on how it is managed - a system (like the BSys4 etc) gives you some possibilities, that you can’t have, when you would run the speakers connected to the sub.

For a small room with somethhing like the BL6000 a BL11 can be fine.

Otherweise go for the BL19.

I am not a friend of the BL2 (especially not for music), it is hard to tame.

And it also depends on what you listen to most - if you like loud movie listening, the BL2 might be right.....but do try it out in different places in your room!

 

The short version = if you can afford it, go for the BL19 ;-)

I have a BL19 to service 2xBL18 and 2xBL8000 in a 25 sqm room, it does the job for both music and movies. Not sure that without it I would have the same sound comfort.
