Hi all,

Since I own a beomaster 6000 from the 80's I've been looking into the specs and general information about this beautiful receiver. There are some things that I can't find an awnser to, I'm new to this forum and hopefully someone can help me out :)

- I've read that the amplifier section of the bm 6000 is based on the bm 4400, beocentral states: "The power amplifier followed 4400 practice very closely, though for some reason the power supply voltage had been increased, no extra power resulted." It did though, since the bm 4400 is rated 75w@4ohms, while the bm 6000 is rated 75w@8ohms. Am I right?

-Which brings me to the question to why the bm 6000 isn't rated @4ohms; since it was based on an amplifier which was rated both 8 and 4 ohms. And the bm 6000 can drive the 6 ohm rated c/cx series of speakers. Or is it actually 4 ohm and will the actual figure be around 100w@4ohms? But did B&O never put these figures out since it would be too little a difference with the TOTL bm 8000?

-And if it can't drive 4 ohm speakers, (how) can this be accomplished? Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm not a tech guy, just trying to figure things out ;)

Thanks!
