Hello Jerry,

I saw an old post from a guy named “Siegfried”, explaining that he did that and the boomers drivers bust because there is a bass booster in the Beolab 4500 amp which translate into to many bass in the Beovox 5000.

I did the experience at home yesterday (as I didn’t know this inofmration before!) and indeed, my drivers bust… So I would not recommand to use Beolab 4500 amplifier on a Beovox 5000.

Hello,

In fact the two amplifiers are almost the same. The only difference is that the Beolab 5000 amplifier has got one extra resistor on the number 2 board. It’s resistor R231 (13,3 kohm).

I seem to remember that this resistor is by default installed in both versions but that B&O simply cuts one of the legs of the R231 in the Beolab 3000 version…

So if you want to use the Beolab 3000 amplifier with a Beovox 5000 you simply have to resolder that leg 🙂

Best regards,

Axel
