I had 2 Balance stereo paired. They were great. Sold them with the sale of my home. Bought one Gen3 Beosound 2 to use while in a temporary house while construction of new home. Liked it so well I bought a second and Paired. They sound awesome. There is still clear stereo separation but where you are in the room is not important. Good sound all over. They do not play as loud as the paired Balance units so if you really like extremely loud music or have a really large room you might prefer the Balance. My room is about 16’ x 30’ and I find there is more than enough volume.
