but now I have a question :

I’ve been through eclipse settings , and beolab settings on app , and can find no setting for using the 19 sub with the 8s for music streaming .

is it possible to do this ?

or will the sub only turn on when the tv is on , and the 8s will only stream Bluetooth when tv is off ?

You can not add a sub to the BL8’s.
Only way is to make a Speaker Group with the BL8’s and the BL19 in the BV Eclipse – which means that the BV Eclipse will turn on for processing the sound.
You can not use the BL8’s for BT, when set up with the BL19 as a Speaker Group.

As far as I remember you can stream via BT to the BV Eclipse directly and this way use the BL8/19 Speaker Group for listening.

Thanks for confirming .

to be honest , the fact they can stream Bluetooth quick and easily when everything is turned off is a MAJOR plus that I will rarely use , but I suspect it will be used often by others .

the sounds they produce is more than acceptable as is .

IMO streaming via BT is a handy solution, when you e.g. have guests in the house and you are not interested in giving them the password for your home wifi network.

Streaming via Airplay or Chromecast / Deezer, Spotify Connect (or Tidal Connect) is the better solution.
