I recently noticed that new stereo sound modes have shown up in the BeoApp for my Balances:  Front, Omni, Left, and Right.  Previously, these sound modes were only available on a single Balance, not a stereo pair. Anyway, I was messing around with them, and I really like the sound of the "Omni" mode.  It's still produces a good stereo image but gives it a more "open" or "airy" sound - sort of like an acoustic lens - but I hate describing music with words so I will leave it at that. If you have a pair of Balances, please check out these settings (select the Balance Pair, then click into "Sound Modes" (where you normally find the beosonic equalizer).  Maybe you will like one or enjoy a little variety in sound.
