But that impression went beyond these sometimes overused and vague descriptors. One of my first impressions was a heightened sense of transparency and resolution, as if a barrier between me and the music had been peeled away. The moment you cue a disc on the BG Radia system, you know you’re listening to a unique loudspeaker and a different kind of sound presentation. To get the best from high-end speakers, you often need to buy new electronics, but the BG Radia LA-550s were quite compatible with the Yamaha AVR. But since the speakers have a rated sensitivity of 92 decibels, 140 watts was plenty in my room. I wouldn’t hesitate to feed the BG Radia speakers more power (lots more, up to 300 watts per channel).
Heading up the system was a Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V receiver rated at 140 watts times seven. I tried several placement options for the subwoofers before I decided to place them against my living room’s side and rear walls. A BGX-A2 power amp with 600 watts times two provides the sub’s power.įor my testing, I mounted the five main speakers in stud-bay-sized enclosures against the walls.

It also houses two BG Neo10 wideband planar drivers and two Neo3 planar ribbon tweeters that face outward at a 45-degree angle to create a diffuse surround soundfield.įour BG Radia BGX-S6B inwall subwoofer modules fill in the deep bass. The SS-303 in-wall bipole surround speaker is a three-way design with two 8-inch woofers. BG offers and recommends back boxes for the LA-550 ($169 each). The LA-550 is 73.25 inches tall, 7.06 inches wide, and shallow enough (3.69 inches deep) to fit in a standard residential wall. The LA-550 is a hybrid cone/planar speaker with four 5.25-inch bass/midbass cone woofers coupled with six BG Neo8 wideband planar drivers arranged in a line-array configuration. Currently occupying my (otherwise orderly) living room are three BG Radia LA-550 two-way in-wall speakers for the left, center, and right channels.
