Thanks, Michael!

I must admit that the low stand look perfect with the 7-55. The BV9 is big with a height of 122 cm, but the 7-55 w/BL7-4 is a massive 144 cm - I find the lower sitting picture on the BV9 compared to the 7-40 w/BL7-4 much more comfortable (have a rather low sofa, too), so the 7-55 with the low stand is spot on.

But I have tried a BL7-2 in an all ALT-setup for a few months, and when replaced with the BL7-4 the center channel became just as clear and well defined as the other speakers - no need to crank up the center volume to hear the dialogue anymore. They should have sold the BL7-6 with a center lense that became active in a surround setup.

Thanks for the pics! 🤒

I like the low stand more and more. Always thought I should go for the 7.4 as a center channel as I will use the telly with my BL8000. But it will be so big with the center channel.

Still wonder what they saved 7.3 and 7.5 for.

• BL 7.3 for a BV 7-46? Same design as 7.2 but a little bit wider.
• BL 7.5 a low ALT speaker for the low stand?

Just had the settings set to B&W for some reason and decided to just go with it.

Now I get it. Took me 10 minutes to understand. Black & White, not Bowers & Wilkins. 😳

I'd still be interested to see if there are any taller stand options short of wall mounting.  Didn't have time to ask too many questions as I was having dinner nearby.  Speaking of...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Luckyly for me, I ordered a BV7-55 some weeks ago and with some luck it seams like it can arrive end of December

My dealer just confirmed today, that I will receive the BV7-55 in 9 days - Just in time to be a pre-Christmas gift

Lucky you!

If you order the 7-55 in the UK now, you should get it before Christmas. But you had better be quick! I don't think the 10 will arrive till after.
