9 to 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 26, 2011 14:20Had the BL9 about a year and a half and have decided to search for a pair of BL5.I cant carry on knowing what B&O's finest effort have to offer. The BL9 are fantastic but it doesnt seem such a big jump on the used market…

BeoLab 9 - where is the midrange, too much tweeter!
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 14, 2010 07:25I have to say the BL9's never fail to impress me and I moved from a system costing nearly 3x more.😐 The quality of sound does vary depending on the age of the source material.Older stuff sounds slightly 'thinner' with m…
