Have you considered the

Thanks for responding. The Beolab 5000 with the tuner  looks amazing but I have no idea where I'd be able to track one down. Let me l ow if you hear of anything.

Would the Beomaster 3000-2 be able to power the 5700 speakers? Seems like the Beolab 5000 would have no problem. Correct? 

Thanks in advance :)

Beolab 5000 for me as well.

The best, period.

If you are located in Europe I don't think they are too difficult to find. There is a Beolab 5000 link right now that is located in Sweden but requires a repair. To get a fully restored and working Beolab/Beomaster system you should check with Beoworld member Martin (link) and Frede (

The Beolab 5000 is a superb piece of equipment and built to the highest standard. The 4400 sounds better as it is 10 years younger just at a time when transistor amplifiers were improving. Having said that, I use my 5000 more than anything else! I you want the very best 5000, see Frede. He built mine and can supply a perfect tested 5000 system which will last years. because these are devices made at a component level, they can be restored and in fact made better than new. Frede can also do a 4400 for you if that is more your thing. If you have the opportunity, pick it up in person - you can visit Struer at the same time which is well worth a visit. The highlight is definitely Veno though!

The 5000 seems to be sold by a forum member Tamtapir, so he might have the details on the kind of defect it has.

thanks
