Beovox RL 60.2
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 30, 2009 13:23Yeah, I checked out the specs and everything of course. (I had a pair of RL 60s years ago, but they had some driver issues so I got rid of them pretty quickly.) I was wondering more about their quality as speakers go (es…
Beovox RL 60.2
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 29, 2009 10:48I'm about to pick up a good-condition set of RL 60.2s. I'm thinking of pairing them with my Beosystem 5000 (Beogram 5005/CD50). I can't find much on these speakers in this forum though. Anyone have any advice? Are they k…
Beogram CD 50 won't accept CDs
in North America · Sept 20, 2008 13:12Thanks a lot! I'll be taking it to a (I think THE, haha) local audio repair shop this upcoming week. Apparently they've worked on a few B&O systems so he said he's got a little familiarity with them. I'll let him know yo…
Loundess on a BeoMaster 5000
in North America · Sept 16, 2008 07:23I believe the amp's loudness setting goes to 6, I think.
Beogram CD 50 won't accept CDs
in North America · Sept 14, 2008 17:56Well, the verdict is out on the CD 50; hopefully a good cleaning will clear things up (please please please!), but it'll be a few weeks before I find out either way. In other news, my "new" Sony STR-6800SD receiver final…
Beogram CD 50 won't accept CDs
in North America · Sept 8, 2008 21:39I don't know if there's any "classic B&O" repair people in my area of Canada (or even within Canada for that matter, haha!), but I'm going to call an audio-repair place here in Halifax tomorrow. I'm hoping that they'll b…
Something else that Apple didn't do first!
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 8, 2008 09:17And you're also wrong there: iTunes wasn't terribly that innovative. They bought it off another company and reworked the front, that's all. I think it was really their organization and the way both products seamlessly wo…
Beogram CD 50 won't accept CDs
in North America · Sept 8, 2008 07:54...owch. Doesn't sound good, huh? Seems pretty complicated. The odds of finding anyone who's done this before, in Halifax (let alone Canada!), don't seem good to me. 😮 greg
Beogram CD 50 won't accept CDs
in North America · Sept 7, 2008 22:47Well, last week my CD 50 started spitting CDs back out at me. I close the drive, it pauses for a couple seconds, then opens it again. I just searched around on here and got a whiff of what seemed to be maintenance issues…
Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · Sept 27, 2007 20:44shortcuttomoncton: Medogsfat: The speaker connection plugs are 2 pin Din (male) which simply plug into the speaker sockets of the beomaster. There are 2 types available at most electronics suppliers, soldered & screw typ…
Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · Sept 27, 2007 19:59Dillen: Easy - no, not really but not impossible, I've done several. Hahahaha...in other words, I won't be doing it. :D If I miraculously get more time sometime in my life, or if it really starts to bug me, I might start…

Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · Sept 26, 2007 18:47Well, I've moved halfway across Canada, but the system is finally up and (mostly) working, although I've been wavering about whether to get that belt repaired or not. I'll probably end up doing it, but right now it's pre…
Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · Jul 3, 2007 21:35Just curious about speaker suggestions for this particular amp, as my plans finally round into form, haha! I was looking at an older pair of KEF Q50s, which are bigger than I wanted (I was aiming for bookshelf) but leave…
Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · Jun 5, 2007 21:54Alright, so, I found those suspension screws on the bottom and yes they were tightened down...so I loosened them off, but it didn't make a difference. Then I made the connection with those three screws underneath the pla…
Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · May 22, 2007 23:50Heh heh, yeah, I didn't realize shipping was included in that, plus last time I checked the Euro was running a lot higher than it is now! I'll be ordering one ASAP to get it shipped out. Did anyone have any recommendatio…
Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · May 14, 2007 12:46Okay, it's been a while, but I've been very busy and this got pushed to the back of the list. So I checked the three transport screws underneath the deck, and they were tight. I loosened them up a good deal, but the deck…
Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · Apr 22, 2007 18:44Yeah, it seems like it would be cheaper just to order them directly from Sound-Smith's terrible headache-y website. 😁 From what I can see on this site, the MMC4 that this system came with was more of a midrange/low-end …
Beosystem 5000 non-working questions?
in North America · Apr 22, 2007 10:44Alright, thanks for the quick reply! Yeah I was hoping the Beogram problem wasn't something serious, since the underlying mechanics seemed to turn fine without that metal plate. I'll take a look for those screws and hope…
