20xxx and i know they are mk2 with abl (aka mk3).

Actually i know exactly that there are 4 versions of the 8000…

And i hear the difference between mk2 and mk2 ABL too…

I know there are different types of the BeoLab 8000. Most people talk about MK I and MK II. The MK II often described as having the ‘bass update’. BeoLab 8000 MK II has serial number 16992475 and up.

I have also been told that the BeoLab 8000 had an ‘ABL’ function form the first model onwards. But that it was changed with later versions.

I recognise three models: MK I, MK II and 8002. But I am also intresten to learn if there’s even a 4th model, and what others believe the differences are. So anyone, be invited to add your knowledge!

Concerning the Service Manual: as far as I know, there is only one Service Manual.

I think that early models have a “cup” woofer and later a “dome” woofer. I believe the “dome” woofer is more bassy. Where is the split? I don’t know.

It is not that easy. It is not only the woofers but partially the amplifiers too.

I know. Just saying that “at glance” it’s an obvious difference, as much as the leds from the 8002 are.
