Beolab 4000 stands and other placement options
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 2, 2022 18:39[quote user="Millemissen"] That is a touch one, without knowing more about how you use the speakers or if the are used generally in the room as well. Do you use them for sound from your Mac or just from the beosystem [/q…

Beolab 4000 stands and other placement options

Connecting an external amplifier to the BeoLab Penta 3
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 30, 2021 22:32I'm not sure if i can answer your technical questions but until fairly recently i was using a pair of Beovox Penta's with a Sonos ZP100 amplifier (i've no idea what the impedence or output is!) I had my doubts that it wo…
Looking for advice - Beosystem 4500
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 18, 2021 09:12Stuart - you might want to consider this while you wait for a 4500 - it is a similar style to your dream system Beocenter 9300 for £150 locally (Glasgow) - looks in good condition from the photos. The seller also has CX1…
Looking for advice - Beosystem 4500
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2021 12:28just to add on values, i would say if you were buying separately then £200 would be a good price for a BM4500, £100-150 for the CD player and less than £100 for the tape. £35-45 for the Beolink 1000 remote. the most expe…

Beolab 8000 fret fitment
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 11, 2021 10:36Morning Bill, thanks very much for your reply. I was pushing them on from the front rather than pulling from behind and that made the difference. i could hear a click as the clip aligned and the alignment does seem to be…
Beolab 8000 fret fitment
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 10, 2021 15:32hi everyone. I bought a pair of BL8000 mk2's which came with brand new frets fitted prior to being dispatched. When i unpacked them it looked as though they had been knocked out of alignment during transit despite being …
Beovox Cona and Beovox Redline 7000/140 a good combination
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 27, 2020 14:12Hi Chris, I tried some RL6000s with a Cona and I didn’t think it made much difference at all. This was connected to a Beocenter 8500 and Loudness was on. Speakers were wall mounted.
the reputation of B&O amps like the 5000,5500,6500 and 7000?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 27, 2018 10:23I don't know if this helps you at all but i had noticed that on my Beomaster 5500 that i had to turn up the volume to the high 30's in order to listen to the Aux source at a normal level. It turned out that i had connect…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 3, 2017 19:13Hi all, I have a pair of Beovox Penta's which i picked up very very cheaply locally along with a Beomaster 5500 and CD5500. There is foam rot on the surrounds of the mid range drivers. See attached photos. Obviously i'd …
Help with my MX4000
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 22, 2017 12:39Hi, what you are describing should just work - have you tried any other device with the MX4000? perhaps there is an issue with the nintendo itself or with your Scart adapter? probably need a bit more information in order…
