Starting a new B&O collection - what should I get?
....mr anders(son):
I have seen (not listen) where there is BL5 with 2!! BL2😉
Wow... That setup will keep the neighbours awake at night...
YEAH but it must be overkill or?
Sounds very good! I have a similar setup (7-40 w/BL7-4 , Penta Mk III, BL3 and BL2) and like it a lot. BTW, how did you manage to connect Apple TV? Can't seem to get it working. I have it connected to the DVI-I port but don't know how to go on from here ... ANy thoughts?

RE the BeoLab 9s and a BeoLab 2, I'd stay without the 2. The 9s have wonderfully controlled and 'smooth' bass (although it's punchy when it needs to be). The BeoLab 2 is comparatively slower and 'boomier'. Amazing for movies, but for music it just seems to get in the way a bit. BeoLab 9s go plenty deep enough for music and are plenty powerful enough for movies.
I'd also maybe agree with others about the BeoLab 4s. I use a pair (thanks to BeoWorld 😁) as computer speakers with my MBP, and they're great. However you may find you need a subwoofer in the setup, and even then you may find the top end leaves something to be desired if you plan on doing any proper listening whilst on your computer. I like mine a lot, but have my BeoSystem + B&Ws in the same room, now with an Apple TV so tend to use this for 'multimedia' stuff.
Basically, if you can upgrade to BeoLab 3s, then do so. They're amazingly good for speakers of their size.
