As I recall there was at least one thread like this but was that on the old forum?
Well as I'm a recently new Beosystem 6500 owner I would like to hear your thoughts of the ideal way to stack it.
The system has the following units:
Beomaster 6500
Beocord 6500
Beogram CD 6500
Beocord 5500
Beogram
Beomaster
Beogram CD
Beocord
The amplifier is often put nearer the top as it can stop them overheating if you're playing at very high volumes. I've not had any problems with this, and would keep mine in bottom if I had four units to stack (I only have two). If you can keep the amp on bottom (ie, you don't listen at high volumes much, you're driving active speakers or something large/easy to drive) then I would.
I had my 5000 system 2+2 with Beomaster on top of Beocord, and Beogram on top of Beogram.
As you have 2 beocords I would place these at the bottom with CD above & finally the Beomaster on top - as Alex said due to the heat generated if giving it some whelly.

If you put the Beomaster at the bottom, you can't easily get at the sockets. The others can go wherever you wish.
It's nearly like that at the moment.
I just have to move the Beocord 5500 a bit lower.
The Beocord 5500 was an afterthought as I ran into it in a secondhand store. Cheap, very good condition and working 100%. I could not say no.
I use Beovox S80.2 until I get enough cash for a pair of Beolab Penta MKIII. There is such a pair in a shop here and they are very cool.
Volume is not on high side but I will put the Beomaster 6500 near the top.
My 7000 used to be stacked 2+2, Beogram on top of Beomaster and Beogram CD on top of Beocord. Unfortunately my Beocord 7000 is broken and I will get a new on at some point. Right now it's Beogram, Beogram CD and Beomaster. I never play at high volume by the way.
Mine is in a 4 high stack at the moment (BG5000 on top, BM5000, CD50, BC5000) although I always preferred the 2x2 layout when we had the bench space. I've never seen a 4x1 (akin to a 4500 system) but it'd be interesting if you had the space.
I like it in two stacks! Forgive the wires - these were edited out for Becentral!
My B&O Icons:
Since there is not a Beogram, I would have the Beomaster on top so as to get to the connections easily.
The others are unimportant I believe. Though, aesthatically, I would keep the Beocords together.
