Beovox 3000, type 6220, woofer question

23 replies

Hi,

On the Web, I have located a pair of Beovox 3000 type 6220.  Does this old type of speakers use foam based woofers?  How do one remove the front to be able to view the speakers? Are the speakers mounted from the front?

Best regards

They are rubber based and actually some of the better sounding Beovox speakers from that period. Wonderful bass response and still today it's hard to believe that they are merely 2-way speakers.

The front is either clipped or velcro'ed on, I don't remember, but they come off quite easily.

The drivers are mounted from the front.

Hi Martin and others,

The text on 

Yes, that looks strange, I never saw any of the ones shown there ...

I only ever saw the version described here: link 

However, there seems to be a MKII that I never saw, that could be one of the two shown at Beoworld; link

The other one shown at Beoworld could be the Beovox 4000, very rare and I believe never available in Denmark;

The Beovox 3000Mk1 is the version with two small tweeters side by side, and is very rare.

The Beovox 3000mk2 is the one with a single tweeter, and is only slightly more common.

They sound very good, but the 'sweet' spot is quite small.

 Beovox4000 also had 2 versions, but I'm not sure they had seperate B&O part numbers, and again this was related to teh number and position of the tweeters, and if anything these are even rarer than the 3000's. Methinks that people went for the Beovox 5000 instead.

Hi,

So the final conclusion concerning the pictures on link must be, that the pictures seems to be wrong or at least not include the two-way version.

As I haven’t bought the Beovox 3000 I located on the Web, I’ll try visit the person selling the speakers and get some pictures of them, then and try figure out how to upload them.

Yes, that's the type I've seen.

Because of this thread and the confusion i decided to dig up 2 sets of old B&O speakers which i bought together with 2 sets of cubes, these came with a recently bought set of cubes and seem to be the 3000 MK1 then ??
...And than i took the front of a set which i have about a year or so, never paid attention to then since they looked like 'just another old set of 3000's ' to me and they're painted :(:(....
