New guy with a Beomaster 901

20 replies

Just starting to get into vinyl and purchased a Beomaster 901 and wondered what beovox speakers work with it. Do different speakers have different connecters? I know that 1702s work.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Almost all passive Beovox'es (or even all?) have matching DIN connectors - they were popular in Europe in 70s and 80s.

I can recommend S35, S45 and highly praised S45.2. They are all wonderful speakers and perform very well with 2x20W power (as your BM901).

nearly all Beovox has the 2 pin DIN connectors, 1 spade and one round, the spade is negative and the pin (round) is the positive (+), the BM 901 can drive nearly all of them, B&O recommended P 30, S 22, S25, but go bigger S45, S45-2, they all sound good with the 901, at the moment I use Beovox 3000 flat panel.

And I've got them all (with stands), so if you're interested...πŸ˜•

Thank you everyone, you've been a great help

One last thing, would Beovox x25 (8 ohms) work with my 901?

Yes, but those are awful speakers! At least don't pay anything for them 😁

Of course, nothing's stopping you from changing the DIN connectors to something else. 

Welcome to Beoworld.  I have a pair of S45-2 and love them.  There's ALWAYS at least one pair for sale on Ebay in the US.

The Cona didnt have 2 pin DIN connectors at all, just a bunch of binding terminals.

I remember Peter making very good comments on the S22 way back when. These are 'quiet' speakers here on the forum. Would like to hear about these.

The Cona is a subwoofer, and can be connected in different ways, my Bvoxs 3000 panels has binding posts.
