I was just recently given a 9300 and Beolab 8000 speakers and have not had much luck understanding how to properly hook the speakers into the unit. I know it was working when it was disconnected  but do not know if all the wiring made it in the move from one house to another . My question is do the Beolab 8000's need a power cord ...

Hi there, I just discover this community and this is very good with a lot of information. Well done to the founder.

Ciao,  I have 8000s as well. I'm using an Adcom power amp to drive my old (refoamed) large Advent speakers, circa 1978 (famous for their deep rich bass) set up as as subwoofers. To accomplish this, I bought on EBAY a Dalquist external crossover, which is hooked up between the pre-out jacks from my NAD 3200 pre-amp, and the rca ...

Hi there I am a new B&O owner. I have recently purchased a pre owned Beolsound 4 and 8000 speakers. Although I am very pleased with the sound. I find that the speakers do not quite reach the depths of bass when listening to bass pedal work (Chris Squire of Yes and the Flower Kings). I wondered if and how I could rig up a non B&O sub ...

Hi, I have a Beolab 8000 problem (just purchased the speakers, 3 yrs old)- on one speaker, the RCA line-in jack has a broken internal connection (accidently tugged on the connection cable while pulling preamp out of cabinet, hours after these speakers arrived!). Has anyone dissassembled the cone base of an 8000 to access the ...

Hej, någon som har erfarenhet av att koppla B&O aktiva högtalare till icke-B&O-stereo? Jag vill ansluta Beolab 8000 till en "vanlig" stereo som i vanliga fall inte används till aktiva högtalare.  Mycket tacksam för kunniga svar!

How can I see / determine how old beolabs 4000 or 8000's are? What serial numbers corresponds to a specific year?

I now have beolab 4000's connected to my B&O avant. At the moment I'm not satisfied with the sound quality of my current B&O set. I used to have penta's (passive). Buying active penta's is not an option. My wife now wants something else in the room :-( and I like a good sound. So I'm either thinking of buying beolab ...

Where do I find the serial number on a pair of BL 8000? If behind the front cover, how do I remove it?

Hello all, For quite some time I had succesfully installed a pair of BeoLab 8000s to a (relatively old - 1985 or so) BeoCenter 9000. Instead of using Beolink, I just use regular speaker cables and set the speaker settings to "link". What I have started noticing is that one of the speakers will fail to play (the light will be red). If I ...

Hi, I have a pair of BL8000s. A couple of weeks ago, I was aware that the LED on one wasn't lit. Checked the fuse in the plug, swapped the speaker onto the working power connector and it still wouldn't power up. I dismantled the 8000 and checked the internal fuses with a meter; they hadn't blown. Any ideas what else could be ...
