Beovox RL 140 vs. M 150?

11 replies

Hey guys, i have a beomaster 8000.

Currently i'm using monitor audio speakers (which are quite high end) but i'd like to replace them with either the RL140 or the M150..

My preference goes out slightly to the RL140s because they're smaller and wouldn't be so in your face, but sound quality is of course the most important aspect.. 

Can anybody who has had experience with both fill me in a bit?

Go for a pair of Beovox pentas!

I'd go for the M150 any time.

I'd never change my Ms150s for the beomaster 8000 , still bring a smile to my face everytime , but the beovox pentas and m150s also sound incredible with it as do the rl140s and beovox 5000s

for me I'd choose them in that order

And what about Beolab 3's? I'm able to buy a pair quite cheap..

Great speakers but not suited to the beomaster 8000

Because they're active?

Not just that, I just personally don't think thier sound would be well suited to that amp, however I've never considered trying

I have run RL140s on my Bombaster 8000 and they sound great, if lacking a bit in bass response.  I am actively seeking a pair of MS150s to complete the set.  I will post my impressions once that happens.

I always used my M150 speakers rather than my RL 140 speakers. The M150 just seem to go better with the 8000 bit they are rather large speakers. You need the space to really enjoy them.
