BM 8000 new owner, fault
in BeoMaster · May 1, 2025 09:39Hi, I was back in there to replace the RIFA and noticed the damper has leaked over the left amp board. Was there someone in the commuity who sells cap kits? Perhaps the lid to damper arm?
BM 8000 new owner, fault
in BeoMaster · Apr 25, 2025 08:31A little bit of an update - I replaced the cap on the 5V supply, which was cracked. I replaced the insulator card over the power supply, which had been mislaid. The clipping wire was attached to earth - I placed it back …
BM 8000 new owner, fault
in BeoMaster · Apr 14, 2025 06:20Hello from a new member, but long time B&O owner and admirer. Yesterday I was finally able to purchase a BM8000 with the hope of pairing it with my MS150.2s. There is a catch - the 8000 doesn't work. When I viewed it, it…
Powerlink to Penta 1
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 3, 2020 12:47Hi there, A few weeks ago I purchased a pair of Penta Mk2s which I’d intended to use with Overture/Beovison 7. Today they arrived and they are Mk1s, without Powerlink. I have connected them up to my trusty tube amp which…

in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 7, 2018 04:29hi there, i notice you've had a lot to do with these. i've pulled the other apart to recap and note that someone has marked the PCB with GR and BR for the cabinet wires - but this did not correspond with how it was actua…

in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 21, 2018 23:34Interesting - so are you saying the 4400 sounds better than a 6500? What tube amp were you running - were you getting enough volume and bass? I'm running the MS150s with a tube amp I bought new in Hong Kong some years ba…

in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 20, 2018 10:28I took the speaker in to a repairer who said there was no hope. I asked him to solder it up anyway and that I'd have a go gluing down the coil. It works, but rubs. I am thinking of broadening the search - do you know wha…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 30, 2018 09:54Yes, the break in yours seemed to be in a place much easier to deal with. Were you able to solder directly onto the winding or did you have to strip off the red coating? When I split it (having found it to be open circui…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2018 10:49After nearly 20 years of S80.2 goodness, a few years ago I picked up a pair of MS150.2s. Driven by a tube amp, the clarity and accuracy of sound is quite astounding, though obviously not as punchy as the speakers can man…
