Hey guys, so I have a flawless Beogram 4000 unit on the way with a MMC20CL cartridge. I am so excited to have this legendary turntable in my possession.

My current set up is an RX2 with a MMC4 cartridge from soundsmith, hooked up to a McIntosh MA230 pre/amp that is connected to Dynaco ScanSpeak a25's. I really like this system but now that I am diving into some truely classic equipment, ie Beogram 4000, I am thinking whether or not I should opt out for other B&O equipment from that era. Specifically I was thinking of getting a Beomaster 3000 and Beovox 5000 speakers to match the new Beogram.

Aesthetically, I think this set up would look incredible, but I dont think I'd be willing to compromise any significant loss in sound quality. How will the Beomaster 3000 compare to the MA230...? The 230 has a solid state preamp and a tube amp; where as the 3000 is solid (though I'm sure everyone here knows that :)

What about the speakers? I've been told/read that the Dynascan  speakers are legends in the audio world, and pair exceptionally well with B&O stuff. Furthermore these are a special model that were sold to me off of AudioKarma that have ScanSpeak tweeters in them, which apparently make the speaker substantially better then other a25's, supposedly a very rare model. 

My general thought is that, I wouldnt be surprised if the B&O made their equipment to perform best when paired with other B&O products, a la Apple. Am I wrong in assuming that? Will the McIntosh amp be better then the 3000, as generally McIntosh stuff is regarded in a different league then the B&O amps. 


Let me know what you guys think. Any and all input is much appreciated. Thanks!
