as far as Beomasters are concerned none of the above. The Beomaster 4000 will punch the ticket.  Then go find a set of 4702 or the S45 or S60

Thank you for your reply, l appreciate your advice on this as l am not that familiar with these Beomasters.

Beomaster 901 would be a fine match for Beovox 1702.
So would the Beomaster 3000 though it does have a little bit more power.
Beovox 1702 is a wonderful speaker for its size.

Martin

Thanks Martin for you advice, l did ask this question a few months ago and you did give me some GREAT suggestions for my 1702's however at that time l didn't know that l might upgrade to larger beovox speakers in the future so l guess l was just confirming which beomaster would be better for dual purpose duties.

Thanks, Milton.

I would go for the 901 and let it drive your 1702, when you have that running and enjoying it, take your time to to go looking for a BM 4000 or even 4400 and a pair of M70 or something like that. You will then have two very good systems each in their own way. Then maybe start thinking about going into vinyl or getting a computer connected and play high quality music files or stream the same. MP3 files and the like just dont do these wonderful amps right

Thank you for your recommendations Soren, that sounds like a plan. I do have other vintage amps/receivers of differing brands one of which currently runs the little 1702's, but of all the different manufacturers l would really like to start concentrating on B&O and start putting together matched systems using their components.

Yes l don't use MP3 files or low quality sources, l am a bit fussy like that, l either use a CD player or tablet which has nearly all of my original CD collection on or occasionally FLAC files. Good point about vinyl, l would like to go into that at some stage.

Hi,

if space allows it, you could also try to look for a Beocenter 1400, which is a industrial design masterpiece.

Guillaume

Thanks Guillaume, l am not sure l need a cassette deck however l do like the extra width and design of this piece and it is based on the 901.
