GOLD MemberHi Sergi0,
I there any chance something wasn’t seated perfectly when you assembled the screen and speaker?
Have the two elements been unjoined and reconnected since you first rebuilt it?

Location: Kent, UKHi Martin,
I have bought from Quality Dream Audio in the past. A BGCD6500 a few years ago.
The cd drawer scratched the cabinet as it opened and closed – when I contacted them to query it I was simply told it was under £200 for a reason and I shouldn’t expect perfection if I only want to pay a little 😂I haven’t been back since.
They do appear to shift a lot though. Perhaps they’ve improved?Good luck with your search.
In my opinion I would buy a Beogram you like the look of and use it.
Enjoy your old records for 12-18 months. By then you’ll know where the sound is lacking and what you want more of – which in turn will guide you to your next Beogram 👍Location: Kent, UKI guess sound transfered via that same cable too? Bet those tones sounded top through the BV 👍
Location: Kent, UKHi, nice to hear you’re wanting to add to your B&O collection.
danishsoundparts dot com has a comprehensive catalogue of parts to help repair/service/maintain all types of BeogramCD.There is a well-recited mantra that the 90’s cd players from B&O sound quite clean and clinical. While the older players have a warmer and fuller sound. But it’s up to you really.
Personally I love the 6500 and 4500 BeogramCD machines.
They look so cool.CD-X is an interesting model.
And there’s always Beosound 9000 if you really want a piece of visual theatre in your home 😎Location: Kent, UK…..fingers are still very much crossed 😄
Location: Kent, UKThat’s better with the attachment now @Guy 👍
Location: Kent, UKExcellent! Enjoy your Beocenter 😍😍😍😍🍾🥳
Location: Kent, UKHello Stefan,
If you plug headphones in do the speakers mute?
Julian
Location: Kent, UKThese speakers are glorious and well worth saving. As Dillen suggests order a service kit (or two) and ask a specialist to fit the new electronics for you 👍
What a lovely gesture by your boss.
Location: Kent, UKGlorious! Such a cool story! (And a cool home set-up too)
Location: Kent, UKLooking forward to the next instalment 👍
Location: Kent, UKI would call your B&O contact and ask them to explain what they actually repaired each time. That should help you understand what may be wrong – perhaps between you both you could suss out a long term fix?
Location: Kent, UKCongratulations to all the lucky winners!
I’m already looking forward to seeing a bumper crop of photos, videos and typed up stories for the rest of us to enjoy after you all return 🥳
Oh and here’s a challenge for you all when you’re at the Struer museum – try to find out why only one of the BL9000 panel speakers works in the ‘sound effects studio’ interactive room.
And maybe work together with the museum to repair it 👍👍Location: Kent, UKThat’s brilliant! Thanks for sharing – it’d be cool (personally) if there was one showing the slightly newer products like 3500 and 2500 systems 😍
Location: Kent, UKHi Soren, great to hear you want to have your Pentas serviced, they’re glorious speakers and will love a freshen-up.
Have you considered hiring a van and taking them to Leeds yourself?
Personally I consider my Pentas like my children and there’s no way I’d use a courier! Once those panels are dented they’re spoiled forever.
Location: Kent, UKHi Filip, it may be worth popping the turntable carefully into service position and closely studying the solder joints from the front panel back to the power supply. Re-solder any dodgy-looking joints if there are any.
Location: Kent, UKWhile browsing the forum I noticed there hasn’t been a 2025 post on the ,flash your B&O – so I jumped to it with a quick snap of my living room. Imo the best pairing of front and rear speakers from the older models. They look fabulous together but are incredibly well matched tonally.
Hi pepps, I like this collection of great, now even vintage B&O products, looks really fabulous! So, is the Beomaster 6500 driving the Beovoxes on the wall during Beo7 decoding 5.1 surround sound? BTW: Thanks for reactivation of that thread 🙂
Hi @kirin
Thanks 👍 The Beovoxes are pretending to be Beolab 4000. They’re connected to a MCL2P which in turn connects by Powerlink to the BV7.
Location: Kent, UKMy wife knows my incurable infection with the Beovirus. The original Bang & Olufsen shelf comes without lights.
That is glorious! Lovely and clean and a perfect way to neatly display your favourite smaller items 👍
Location: Kent, UK20 January 2025 at 10:06 in reply to: After 25 years – My challenges upgrading my B&O Ecosystem #62914Hi Kallasr, the Neo product sounds cool with stand integration. Not a lot of info out yet, but it’ll be interesting to see how they integrate with B&O music systems too.
