Beomaster Mechanical Button Help
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 9, 2018 13:25I have a Bemoaster 4400 I purchased as a backup while I have my other amps on the bench ready for recapping. It sounds fantastic however it looks to be in rough shape - it's missing the Volume slider and the mechanical b…
I can't decide which system to put together from my collection. Advice appreciated.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 29, 2018 01:58Do you know if the 6000 is bridgeable? That way I could get more power than the BM8000 - in theory - I'm thinking if I use a splitter for the turntable and the MP3 it might work. I would have one volume control for each …

I can't decide which system to put together from my collection. Advice appreciated.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 27, 2018 15:58Thanks, very solid advise. My 8000 doesn't sound bad at all, I just prefer the 4400/6000 because they sound warmer or richer to my ears, perhaps a restore of my 8K is in order. My MS150s sound great however with 4 of the…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 27, 2018 06:57I have an enviable problem, I've been collecting for a long time and I can't seem to let anything go. I'm turning over a new leaf so I've decided it's time to put one primary system together and let go of some of my trea…

Beomaster/system 8000 - is it really superior
in General Discussion & Questions · May 17, 2018 00:05Thanks, that's interesting. I have 2 8000s one displays 8s while the other is fully functional. I listened to my MS150s and S120s alternating between the bm8000 and my bm6500 and honestly I found that while the bm8000 hi…
Beomaster/system 8000 - is it really superior
in General Discussion & Questions · May 13, 2018 02:53I wanted to follow up on your comments and thanks again for the insight. Well by happenstance I would up with 2 BM8000 (one isn't working), and 2 sets of MS150s. I hooked them up to my BM6500 and it sounded very nice and…

Voice coil or capacitor or something worse? Woofer only works when cone is pressed
in General Discussion & Questions · May 11, 2018 20:08Quick follow up, after re-capping the problem still existed but at least I had eliminated that from the equation. A a little more extensive testing revealed that it was the soldering point where the voice coil meets the …
BM 8000 + MS150 in parallel?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 9, 2018 20:13Thanks, I wanted to take advantage of the extra power. Also I have a large room and I'm thinking of adding a pair of S120s

BM 8000 + MS150 in parallel?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 9, 2018 00:32I have 2 pairs of MS150s and I'm considering wiring them in Parallel. Does anyone have experience good or bad with this setup? https://beocentral.com/beomaster8000 " The colossal Beovox MS 150 was the usual choice, and a…
Beogram 8000 Turn Table won't spin
in BeoGram · May 7, 2018 03:51I have a similar question. I just purchased a BG8000 and it won't spin. I can hear the coils (I think) when I turn it on but nothing spins. The tonearm is working properly however. The Tachodisc is metal on mine so it ap…
Beomaster/system 8000 - is it really superior
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 17, 2018 13:45As to your comments on power outputs, it's more complicated than it may first seem, but it is better to have an amplifier that is more powerful than the speakers can handle, than one that only produces half the power. Th…
Beomaster/system 8000 - is it really superior
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 17, 2018 13:32Great information, I've read through the beolover site and was very impressed with the attention to detail, going as far as 3D printing adapters for the new capacitors to compensate for the size difference.....well that'…
Beomaster/system 8000 - is it really superior
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 17, 2018 09:33More fodder: The continuous power for the bm6500 is 110w IEC 8oms which as i understand it is around 55 RMS. My reading indicates that when amplifying voice speech, the speaker and amp RMS should match, however for most …
Beomaster/system 8000 - is it really superior
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 16, 2018 17:08I have recently acquired a Beosystem 8000 (sans-turntable) and I'm wondering if it's worth putting money into v/s selling. My main system is the Beosystem 6500. Hoarding B&O equipment is my Kryptonite but I can't allow a…
