Yes to both questions!

It will drive active speakers via the powerlink sockets, or passives using the built in amplifier via the speakerlink connections.

 The Beomaster 3500 was designed to be used with the Beolink 1000, so no problems there.

 The only thing I would suggest is to rebond the glass control panels, if it hasn't already been done. The original tape used seems to perish like the older speakers foam surrounds do. Replacement glass panels are no longer available from B&O, so make sure its stuck firmly!

I just picked up a Beosystem 3500 for a good price, and am currently half way through this process.

 Cheers,

Ben

what does re-bonding imply? remove, clean, 2sided tape or is it more complicated?

thanks, both, for the responses! 

Basically remove, clean old tape, and re stick with your preferred choice of either carpet tape, epoxy, RTV etc.

I used RTV, simply because its what I had to hand. Other people seem to have used epoxy and others carpet tape.

Ben.

You must remove them for the plastic surrrounds, clean the plastic and the glass and then re-glueing the glass to the plastic. I used black car silicon. Worked like a charm!!!

but sadly i have just realised that the rl35 speakers cannot be mounted on the wall so i have to re-think this one...

 great info, folks: thanks!!!
