Hmm that's interesting. I actually do find the BL5s to be bass heavy (NOT boomy), and almost don't see how they COULDN'T be with that massive 15 inch woofer under each one. I actually have the Bass control on the Beomaster turned down to -1 to slightly compensate for the bass. But this is possibly because I come from BeoLab 1s and what I consider my reference standard, the Wilkins 802 Diamond which, the BWs particularly, have a delightful and crispy midrange and sparkly highs. Very "RIGHT THERE" presentation like being at a live performance. I would imagine them to be a great match to a BM8000 as a matter of fact, with their power hungry requirements. The BL5 is quite laid back. Someone in a BL1 review once compared the sonic signature of the BL4000 with the BL5 (not comparing the speakers directly by any means) which I would say is accurate. At one point I made the comment to Peter in the what B&O would you keep thread that for sure I'd get rid of everything else I owned just to have a pair of BL5 if I HAD to. Now after having them I don't think I would sacrifice everything else.

Raw clean power is one of the beautiful things about the BM8000 actually, that it can drive just about anything you can throw it at it with that dual-mono high power amp design. I'd agree that within the B&O range, the MS150 would be my choice almost without question. Would love to hear a pair one day.

Thanks for the tips peter!

I just received a mint mint bm4500 and pair it with my beolab penta3, course i remove the bottom amp, it sound not that bad at all.

I does some hw on the bm800 that pair with ms150,  but i'm just afraid that the bass from the ms150 are lack with sound pressure due to the db rate aren't that high.

for moment i've though bout getting a whole set of b&o speakers from audi car speakers, but it doesn't look that good at all.

So i've thinking bout the beovox 4500  pair with the bm8000.

the penta are quite are fine speakers, but the bass are bit low on sound pressure.

my bro bm800 it'll be here tomorrow from arizona, can't wait to give it a try!

wish i could find a inbox or mint mint bm8000,  i would glass casing up so no no touchinng and scratching!  lol

thanks again for the tips Peter!

Peter sound like you really into this bm8000,  myself I really falling in love with this piece of art work.

I've always respect all b&o product ,  spent 1800 on my laptop  i throw in bed everytime after finish using it ,  but with any of my b&o things I always handling it with care. Like my $100 form2 headphones only touching it with my finger but not my finger nails.

these b&o company really satisfied me! completely satisfied!

From all of their work of combining arts, quality and technologies together.

peter do you know anyone that have a mint mintly bm8000 that available for sale??

Ti

i just got me a beomaster 8000

wanna connect the mp3 into it  but dont know which socket for the input ,  cuz it doesnt show any aux ..

can you please help

Ti

Congratulations on your acquisition!

That will be TP1, which has phono sockets.

Beovox Pentas or Beovox 5000 panel speakers are excellent looking and sounding alternatives to what you suggest. I have used both and they are excellent matches - the 5000s surprisingly so.

Hi Uncle,

I'm also a new "owner" of a BM8000 (I will send a post to present me).

I use a CD/TAPE adaptor (type 5006) that I plug into TP2 to connect my MP3 . Then, I plug a RCA/jack 3.5 cable to the adaptor and then, I plug the jack into my Iphone (or airport express).

I am not sure it is the best way to hear MP3 but it works and I need TP1 for my Beocord.

Another solution (that I want to test) could be to find a 5pin DIN/jack 3.5 cable, plug it into TP2 and then plug the jack to your MP3 (I will try this configuration as soon as I will receive this cable).

BR,

Thanks for the tips 

when I decided to go for bm8000. I only wanna connect mp3 for it  so I really wanna try out all of those sockets to compare which are the best input.

i read a little on the bm8000 user guide.   The book said that for external filter,equalizer that required to remove those 2 clamps on the left side near the left speakers output.

I will give it a try and find out bout it.

Ti

Tape 1 or 2 will work.

Has RCA or DIN Connections as I see in the Manual.

Ralf

will it be any different if I remove those 2 clamps on the left side for external filter or equalizer??

If I remove those 2 clamps and connect the bm8000 with the beosystem 3 for extra filter and surround sound of 7.1 , , ,  will the beosystem 3 help to improve the sound quality ??

i really the bm8000,,,  and I really wanna keep it original without any change or custom work to improve the sound quality, ,  so I were having a thought about connect the bm800 with external filter&equalizer from that 7.1 surround sound beosystem 3 device.
