Main - MBL111B+Lyngdorf+B&O Beosound 9000+Macbook.

Description

Living room system:

My living room is small 15'x17' due to rental apartment. We sell our house when the price was good.

I want to keep the living room tidy yet have an impressive system. This system is a very well matched to my ears. Bass is tight and high impact, soundstage is expansive, wide and the performer almost disappear in the stage. Notes from every instruments can be clearly heard.

The room is treated with bass trap, RPG abfussor and Skyline. The sofa is specially selected to favor music hearing. The B&O 9000 is selected for it's great design and 6 discs are all one need for a good night of listening.

111B is 2nd hand and I compare it with 111E and there is not much difference . I like the bass of 111B and it seems to go deeper and easier to place than the side firing 111E bass. The bass cabinet and driver of 111B is same as 101e and sounds like it too (except the crossover point is set at higher 130Hz). It's bi-wire with JPS Superconductor to the amp.

Simple, realistic and powerful! That's what I want to achieve.

    • Bang & Olufsen Beosound 9000
    The best looking and most versatile CD player ever. With a patented disc pickup system unrivaled even until now. Looks good in living room and works wonderfully. Adding a good DAC to the coaxial out and you are done searching.
    • Lyngdorf 2200+
    Extremely clean, powerful and with DSP processing for room correction, EQ and active crossover. 300W into 8ohms. With on board 24bit 192Khz DAC too. Special digital volume control with very little loss. One of the kind in the market.
    • MBL 111B
    From Stereophile: MBL 111B's goal is the same as that of all high-quality loudspeakers: wide dynamic range; superb extension at both frequency extremes; a neutral, musically communicative midrange; clean, grain-free highs; and stable, accurately defined imaging. These German speakers can certainly reach those goals—providing you drive them with a powerful amplifier and stow their grilles well away from the listening room!
    • Luxman M-03
    200W Class AB for the Bass. I don't want to spend too much $ on this so this vintage Luxman come to play. It's really not bad at all even standing alone compare with the famous Lyngdorf amp. Couple with Lyngdorf for Bi-amp gives more control and impact to the bass. Now I can more or less achieve the pounding bass experience of big drum or classical music.

The B&O Redline Speaker is a classic by it's own. Great sound and style. The 5 way design give you a wide sound stage. Originally I want to get the Beolabs 5(the one in Batman Dark Knight Movie) so the whole living room will be B&O only but that seems to be not the best use of $.

If only the room is larger!! That will be my next upgrade.

Cheers, Jeff

You forgot to mention your B&O RL 6000 speakers. Real classics!!! I still have mine and they are in perfect condition after 20 years.

Enjoy!

Adding the Luxman 200W (500W into 4ohms) to Biamp the MBL - now MBL is really kicking some serious bass!!

Now I have 400W+500W to drive the whole MBL with Active Crossover provided by the Lyngdorf. The Bass is even more alive with the active crossover!
