I have 4000 mk1s and 6000s and 2500s and a 3500. Each does a slightly different part of the frequency range .. The 17s appear to have as you said more bottom .. But as I don't own any 17s I'm quite happy with the low end from the 4000s the mids from the 6000s the upper mids from the 2500s and the 3500 And the top from all the above.. The bottom on the 17s is a bit more sub whereas the bottom on the 4000s is more compressed. But I'm sure if there were a pair of 17s at the right bargain price I would get them any way and have a more sub sound.. All this depends on room position and surroundings of course not to mention personal taste and hearing. Basically I love it all, there's a place from any of the range in my heart and home and garage ! 👍🏻☮❤

How does Beolab 17 compare to Beolab 9 ??? Does beolab 9 benefit from a sub
@soundsheavenly

Interesting question! Beolab 9 has far more power and certainly doesn't need a sub. Beolab 17, maybe - it depends on your music tastes. This wouldn't be a fair comparison for a review but please let me know what you think once you have heard both speakers...

I preferred the 4000’s, the 17’s are a bit clinical to my ear but the 4000’s has more character. Thanks for the review! Ps, you can get 4,000’s on eBay for as low as €318.

Thanks for a great video! :-) Yes indeed, the 17's a has more powerful and deeper bass, no question about that. But in track 2 there is this pickering bass line, like Geddy Lee from Rush also uses a lot, and I really think, that sounds very defined and crispy on the 4000. I think that Beolab 4000 is a very great speaker with a very impressive sound over all. And the best of all, you can get a pair of them to a very reasonably priced at the moment ;-)

They say some people are obsessed with shoes and own thousands. In my case it is loudspeakers. I have all kinds…planars, ribbons, electrostatics, BL3, 4000, hundreds of pairs. But I genuinely think with the BL17, I found speaker nirvana. It is difficult to tell by listening to a single speaker as their true excellence comes through as a pair. They completely disappear as source points and create a wonderful sound image. I listen to them WISA-wirelessly supplemented by an old AudioPro subwoofer driven from a BeoReceiver 1, via specialty cables I bought from you!

I have a set of Penta with 4000 and love them, but the 4000 in this video sounded muffled in comparison to the Beolab 17. The difference is the presence that Beolab 17 is presenting, in my humble opinion.

Speakers will always sound different in your own room, these sound tests are only intended to give you an idea of the differences between speaker models. I agree that the Beolab 17s have more "presence" as they give a clearer midrange and treble than the 4000s that I tested.

Thanks for another great video. I did listen with my H4’s which I know are a little bass heavy and probably didn’t do the video sound full justice, however I could tell the 17’s had a lot more punch lower down, but the 4000’s still had a very impressive sound overall. 4000’s seem to be a real bargain at the moment and I’m trying to justify to myself getting some, but don’t know where I would use them . Thanks again.

Hi, these are both great speakers, but very different in purpose...Beosound 2 is good as a simple streaming solution from a "point source" for easy music while you move around your home. Beolab 17 are a superb stereo pair of fixed speakers for high quality music from a TV or music system. Both sound great, the key is to decide which best suits your needs and lifestyle.

Thanks for the video. If done like you stressed - with good quality headphones - you do get an impression of the differences between these two gems. Imo - you can be happy with either....definitely. But if money is not the problem, the 17’s should be the better choice. However, do remember - loudspeakers behave differently in different room....best audition both at home. And maybe (in certain setups) the BL4000 might be sufficient as surround speakers......there is no recepi here. For front R/L speakers (or as a traditional stereo pair) I’d prefer the BL17 anytime. @Steve You new mic seems to be good, but since it is a stereo mic, your voice swaps from right to left and vice versa, when you move. Kind of annoying, when you listen headphones.

I own, BL5, 20 ,18, 17 and 3. I have also owned BL6000 and 4000. What I can say is that I agree with everything you say. The BL17 is in my mind better sounding and, with that price difference, much better speaker then the BL18. Many get an idea in their head that the BL18 must sound better due to the acoustic lens and higher price. But no. Think it's more of an design question. And the speaker that I would suggest to all Beo people is the BL17. BL3 is the most impressive speaker I own. This is due to the massive sound compare to the small size and options in placement compare to other Beo speakers. But the BL17s comes second after the BL3. A great review and sound test! Sounded great in my H95s.

@@eaturk1 17s are much more modern speaker. With that comes better detailed sound and the bass is punchy and accurate. But, the 3s for it size and age are still preforming better then newer speakers from other brands. I do like that they are more omni directional. All and all, the 17s are the best Beo for the money speaker.

Hi, no need to apologise, that is a great question. Both are superb speakers, but they have a very different sound. Beolab 17 is very musical and enjoyable to listen to with a wide range of music, while LS50 is analytical and precise, giving a very exact reproduction of the music. I recommend hearing both for yourself (ideally in your home if possible) and see which one you prefer. Please let me know what you choose!

As a owner of both. It's hard to compare the two speakers. If you get the option then get the BL5's. They are so balanced and bullet proofed for almost all music genres and also works great for films. But the BL17 surprise me more when I listen to them. That they can produce that big, clear sound with a very heavy bass for that size. Impressive.
