Speakers for Beomaster 4400

35 replies

I have been looking for suitable speakers for my Beomaster 4400 in order to “retire” my MC120.2 speakers permanently along with and in conjunction with Fisher XP66 speakers.

 

I recently found a pair of MS150 speakers here in Canada, re-foamed and very pristine; and should the seller decide to reduce the asking price from the Stratosphere I am thinking of considering this pair.

 

However it occurs to me that my Beomaster 4400 with its less than stellar rebuild might not be up to the demands of the MC150 speakers.

 

What I am looking for is BASS which my MC120.2 lack in abundance but with just a hint of the crisp higher ends offered by the 120.2’s.

 

One of my favorite speakers is the S75’s but with the “potential” of the Beomaster 4400 I was hoping to do better.

 

In truth I have been actively looking for MS100 speakers, but I just found these MS150’s.

 

So what do you think? 😐

Dear Jeff,

You already asked this question a couple of times:

/forum/imported-unmapped/s-75-vs-m-100
/forum/imported-unmapped/m-series-speakers

Did you try any of the speakers, we suggested?

Hello Martin,

 

My mother died of Alzheimer’s January 31st. The fruit does not fall far from the tree.  

 

I read carefully my two previous posts that you submitted and am truly appalled.

 

Please accept my apologizes.

 

What I believe happened was the find of MS150’s right here in my neighborhood erased (in my mind) the considerable responses to my previous inquires. However that does not explain my repeated questions.

 

As such there comes a point in all of our lives when we must accept that we are done; in my case over stayed my welcome.

 

I know I have been more than redundant in my concern for my BM 4400 and my contempt for my MC120.2 speakers.

 

As I do not know how to prevent myself from asking redundant questions in the future, as moderator, I am sure you have the ability to disconnect all my connections with threads of interests. Just do it.

 

Jeff

P.S. In answer to your question, no, none of the speakers you suggested were either available or of real interest, other than the MS100's and I didn't find any of them available.

Jeff,

Don't get me wrong, you are most welcome to ask.
If you are looking to add bass to your setup and don't want to go the "disco-scene"-way, which often puts music power before looks,
maybe you should think about adding a subwoofer to your existing setup instead.

Hi Jeff,

 

I have never listened to the MS150, but they should really be beefed up MC120s, so if you enjoy everything about the MC120s but bass, you should be content.

 

I remember that AdamS swore by them, he even demoed them at the Wigwam show a few years back.

 

My choice with the 4400 are the M70s which deliver plenty of bass. They are more laid-back than the MC120s as you might remember, but they really make my large lounge (40 square metres, high oak ceiling) shake on the right notes. The heart pound at the beginning of The Dark Side of The Moon is impossible to listen at full level because everything rattles 😠 in the whole house (linear switch on) and the BM4400 has plenty of power to cope!

 

The M100s are mighty. There are several pairs for sale here in France, but the sellers are too greedy, asking for silly prices. 😮

 

About your memory... Do not worry, it's just that dear old Martin has a prodigious one! 😎

Hi Jeff,

Having heard some MS150s I can assure you there do have a decent amount of bass! They are obviously extremely large however so do bear this in mind when choosing! Also, your Beomaster 4400 will be fine with them. Tim Jarman uses some with his Beolab 5000 system and it really does sound impressive indeed.

Like Jacques said M100s are excellent, the prices in the UK are no better really (when they do come up at all).

Hope this helps somewhat,

Ben

Hi

I must agree having a pair of  M100s myself and MS150s the M100s give out the most bass if thats what your after, there is a very nice pair of M100s on ebay France,  maybe another option would be beovox 3800 a lot cheaper to get hold of but not to sure if they will take full power of 4400.

Can you put a link for those as I've looked and can't find any M100's anywhere in Europe!

Dave.

Hi Dave!

Here... 😁 The ones on ePay have disappeared again, they come and go...

Jacques, 

No matter how good they are, that price is pretty ridiculous!
