So I have engineered wooden oak flooring so that maybe an issue it seems? Surely if you wall mount the 28s, the subwoofer will be firing against the walls? Well, I think I have breeze blocks and plasterboards so isn’t as hard as concrete?
Wood floors could be an issue but I can’t say for sure in your case. If you mount the 28;s on the wall I heard it can have the same problem with it rattling everything in your walls and in between. That means any metal frames could sound like a war happening in there.
I suggest talking your your dealer, if you are set on the 28’s then buy them with the promise you can return them after a month if they don’t work out and then you can get the 18’s.

I would tend to agree, this solution sounds like a hot audio mess. But we appreciate the suggestion Steve 🙂
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberPeople generally think the 18’s look nicer than the 28’s but that’s up to you. Many think the acoustic lens on the 18’s give highs a wider sound stage too.
It also really depends what kind of floor you are putting the speakers on as the 28’s fire bass DOWN into the floor and a lot of people with wood floors have negative experiences with vibrations and distortion. If you have a solid concrete floor or something like it it should be fine though.
The 19 is fine on many floor types however and you have more flexibility to move it around.
Personally I would do the 18’s and 19 if I was you.
I have a theatre and 18’s with no 19 for bass and I have never complained about the bass level. I use them 90% for TV and movie and it absolutely kills it.

Does it not have to be connected to a BeoMaster 5 though?
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberI think it is an extremely bad idea from what I have heard. The reason being the BS5 is running a very old version of windows and it is incredibly insecure with lots of security issues that can easily exploited to get on your network and god knows what.
Perhaps try getting a Beosound 2 or BS9000 for your CD’s.

Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberIf you ONLY had the 17’s I think B&O would recommend you use them as rears as they would help fill the space around you better and bring more bass to the back of the room. However the 2500’s aren’t the most modern or powerful speakers so using them as front L/R might overwhelm them. At the very least they will not sound anywhere as good as having the 17’s in the front.
The 2500 would be good as rear surround speakers as they would really just be filling the void of sound behind you which are never really all that loud or demanding. Paired with the 17’s at the front it should all sound very impressive.
Since the theatre won’t be using the L/R built in speakers you can re-assign them to act as Centre (if that sounds too wide is up to your own taste) or you can set them to Sub Centre speakers for an extra kick.

Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberI don’t know about the Wiim Ultra but I assume you cannot use the B&O app to control anything if you do. A pre-amp can be had for about $100 so I wouldn’t worry about getting one built in.
The Essence, Core both have an EQ of sorts (But you don’t really need it as it configures for your speakers on its own). Even better you get full use of the B&O app and you can use remotes from your phone, iPad, Mac as well as the Essence remote (super good) and the Halo remote. Not to mention you also get all your streaming services this way.
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberFirst get any old Pre-amp for the turntable.
Then you can get a Essence Mark 2 (cheapest option but works great) to connect everything.
Alternatively you can get a Core previous or current gen but there won’t be many advantages to them and it will cost much much more.
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberHow was it different from using an Essence or Core?
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberIf you don’t care about Bass and they are cheap enough go for it. They would use older Powerlink Cables which should come with the system or speakers.

Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberCan’t you also use the later version of AirPort Express?
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberGlad it worked out.
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE Member13 February 2025 at 02:55 in reply to: I interviewed B&O at major ISE 2025 trade show, full Booth Tour video #63762BRONZE MemberI wonder how much some of the custom colours are for the Beolabs.
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberPerhaps take another shot at cleaning the laser that detects the open door.
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberI have a new laser and this sometimes happens with me when I don’t properly place the disk securely in the slot. I just take out the disk and make sure it’s snugly in there and its fine. Perhaps this is something different for you?
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberThank you. I designed the furniture and had it built around the equipment 🙂
Location: Toronto, CanadaBRONZE MemberAnd just a repeat of what other have said about this sketchy update:
When we got the whole thing open, we were in for an even bigger surprise: turns out the Beoplay Eleven is an exact copy of the three year-old, $400 Beoplay EX! There are some key software changes and the microphones have been upgraded to better deliver ANC performance—but that’s it. Everything else inside these buds is a carbon copy. Even the peel-away film on the rear of each earbud says “Beoplay EX”—not “Beoplay Eleven.”
This last point is for you hardware nerds. You might be surprised (or not), but the hardware inside the Beoplay Eleven doesn’t scream premium. Quite the opposite, from the control board to the wiring, a side by side comparison of the Beoplay Eleven buds and the Airpods 4 buds show how far behind the Beoplay Eleven is in terms of hardware design.
