1. 😉 B&O don’t have an interest in sound ! Do a google search for their tonmeister Geoff Martinhttps://www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=5wYnWvyeHoyK8wXS0L54&q=tonmeister+geoff+martin&oq=tonmeister2. 😐 read his BL19 articles and associated pageshttp://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/2014/03/29/bo-tech-the-naked-truth-iii/http://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/stereo-recordings-bass/http://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/2014/01/10/bo-tech-subwoofer-tweaking-for-beginners/3. The BV8 only has a YES | NO setting for subwoofer (and a dedicated PL port). So basically it’s bass management is simple, yet suits my ears - although my family often say TOO MUCH BASS DAD. I have never had a better experience than hearing my first BL5 in 2002?/3? And feeling my diaphragm quiver in sympathy.

Should I buy a BeoLab 19 subwoofer?

Wow, that’s a statement..
I never had a bl19, but it depends so much on where and how it’s placed. On my bl2 i had the filter set to the middle and the placement button set to corner although it was on a flat wall. Where i live now it was perfect. When i lived in my old house, i had the filter set to low, and placement to free standing. Although it was on a wall behind a couch and that was perfect for that room. So i would suggest playing around with it, it’s very subjective. Maybe set it to the max and then dial it down till it’s too little for you
I was quoting Paddy !!!!! And the evidencing disagreements 😁Wow, that’s a statement.. New: Beolab 50's, Beolab 18's, Beovision eclipse.

Paddy - Sorry to read your comments. I found the lab19 to be a great sub, but it was connected to a Beoplay v1. Which gave me a lot of control, I think the v1 has the beosystem 4, so I could control a lot of variables and it integrated perfectly with my lab18s.No experience without that BS4 control, so unfortunately not able to really help with your set up. But it transformed my set up. There must be a way for you to experience what the 19 is capable of, without spending a fortune of course.
@elephantI know, no worries. Thinking about it, it might actually be true. The crux being that B&O might like the people that like music more. The reason i love b&o speakers the most out of everything they make is that they naturally sound fairly flat with out loosing volume. That may make them sound harsh to people, but i think at B&O they know that, that’s why they make it so easy to change the speakers to what ever you like. For instance “beats by dre” or like a “tin can” and anywhere inbetween, i think they’re usually almost perfect the way they come(depending on model). I like what some call harsh, because you keep ALL the detail up high and most speakers can’t do that. That, however, doesn’t mean it’ll be lacking in bass in my home 😁So just tinker until you get what you like/love, afterall it only needs to please you and yours!
