How does the Beolab 5 stack up against the top of the line B&W 800s/802s/Dynaudios etc
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2013 09:16Again, nice picture Soundproof. Do you have any thoughts on a preamp being used with Lab 5's as per an earlier comment? I'd like to get my speakers further from the wall but I'm at the limit of the WAF (wife approval fac…

in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2013 23:09Now thats a comparison! Theres just to many confounders when listening to one set of speakers and then another when time, space and sources are all different. Your memory plays tricks and room acoustics are very importan…

in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2013 07:30Hi Rauber, I've managed to find a few discussions on the old forum now with arguments going both ways as far these speakers are concerned with some suggesting the 5s are better (a user Soundproof) Have you listened to hi…

in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 16, 2013 11:00Hi there guys, I'm aware that there was a brief discussion comparing beolab 9's with 802s on the old forum. Im interested in getting some fresh opinions on where the lab 5s fit in with other high end speakers. I listend …
Mac firewire out to Lab 5s
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 26, 2012 12:41Hi Guys, On the old forum I had a thread in which Soundproof gave me some help on how to get a digital signal to my Lab 5s. He suggested an impact twin sound card with fire wire connection from the computer and then an S…

Beosound 9000 start volume
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 11, 2012 11:41I assume you've fixed the issue? If not, just turn it to volume you desire and press OK (on the machine). Next time it starts it will start at your selected volume rather than last volume. Cheers
Optimum song/piece to show off your Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 9, 2012 09:20[quote user="MrDMoulton"] I made up a "Critical Listening" CD years ago that I give out to deserving students occasionally. It's got some technical material on it plus excerpts of 12 recordings and two long medleys of re…
Optimum song/piece to show off your Beolab 5
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 8, 2012 13:07Thanks guys for the suggestions so far. Some seriously solid bass in some of those suggested tracks- I'm not sure the neighbours appreciate the kidney massage! Stephan- thanks for the well wishes- I'm very happy with the…
Optimum song/piece to show off your Beolab 5

Beolab 5 Calibration
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2012 09:24Hi guys, Thanks for your responses- I think I will just calibrate as suggested as the differing base levels between the speakers is slightly annoying. We'll see how we go. I have to say they are a truly fantastic speaker…
Beolab 5 Calibration
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 2, 2012 12:13Hi there folks, I've recently acquired some Lab 5's (demo models from the store). The dealers have previously calibrated them and I note slightly more bass from on of the speakers. Despite this they are impressive. I pre…

Beolab 5 vs 9- are the 5's overkill?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 26, 2012 03:17Hi Peter and Razlaw. Thanks for your insights. I was also set on the Lab 5s. Had the renovation with the house prewired for the 5s, BS 9000, computer to digital 5 input and record player with a switch to also take input …
Beolab 5 vs 9- are the 5's overkill?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 25, 2012 09:12Thanks Moxxey. I think the room can accommodate their size as it also has a walk-through to the dining room which is visually part of the same space. Can't you simply set the speakers back to default if the calibration m…
Beolab 5 vs 9- are the 5's overkill?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 25, 2012 06:08Thanks Elephant, but for me stereo music content is far more important than surround sound. I'm not interested in a surround sound set up for the TV.....perhaps I may change my mind- but I have resisted the notion for lo…
Beolab 5 vs 9- are the 5's overkill?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 25, 2012 03:28Hi Folks, I know that this has been discussed to some degree in various threads but I was hoping to try and get a fairly definitive discussion going on relative sound quality of these speakers relative to room size. I ha…
