    Hello All-

    I recently purchased a Beolab Theatre and Beolab 28’s.  Everything will be installed next week.

    I was wondering, if I wanted to do a full surround system using only B&O speakers what would you suggest?

    I have searched around the internet and haven’t been able to see anyone that has done a 7.1.2 or ATMOS system.

    All suggestions/help greatly appreciated!

    I have a 7.1.4 Atmos system with my BeoSound Theatre. I’m using the following:

    Theatre for center channel.

    x6 Beolab 9 for fronts, surrounds, and rears

    x4 Beolab 4000 for height channels

    Beolab 2 for subwoofer

    I have a Strato V and Terra Server Kaleidescape system.

    I find that the 6 Beolab 9 speakers provide a very rich and balanced immersive experience. Top Gun Maverick and Air Force One sound amazing. Last night, I watched Flightplan on the Kaleidescape and it, too, sounded fantastic. The neighbors threatened to call the police when I watched Dune on it.

    I have an Atmos system with 4 sets of BeoLab 17s (using the 8 WiSA channels) and a wired BeoLab 19.  In all my listening positions (my Theatre is on a motorised wall bracket) I always use the FL, C, and FR on the soundbar… why wouldn’t you they are great quality, and then supplement with the 17s all wall mounted.  17s are great height and ear level speakers.  I prefer them to BeoLab 8s, especially as the are flusher to the wall.

    What I will say is if you want to experience Atmos you need 4 height speakers, so go for 5.1.4 instead of 7.1.2 if you are limited on speakers… there is less difference in 5.1.4 to 7.1.4 as the back track is mixed into the surround tracks using TrueImage, than 7.1.2 to 7.1.4.

    Do either of you have pictures of your setup(s) you could share?
