2. Get a Beoport making sure I had a Mac so that I could control the whole thing using an iPod Touch.

Not sure the UK market is so strong! MS150s and M100s are big enough to live in - well almost! Hence they don't fit in most UK homes - at least as far as any sensible woman is concerned! I think the market in the US has always been a little stronger but $750 for speakers that are not in original condition and are 30 years old is a bit much. I thgink

Hi Spiros, Download the service manual. Page 5-12 tells you how to change the tuner to receive B/G. At a guess your tuner is set to 16 as mine is. Yours needs to be set to 1. Best wishes,

It does fit the AV9000 as this is effectively an MX6000 - I have one fitted.

Not sure professionally restored cuts a huge amount of ice with me. I would rather have a dedicated amateur do it! I would not pay that - they are sonically well worth it though - as I paid about £175 for mine which seems about the price for a reasonable pair. They needed new capacitors and the phase link units reconing but were in beautiful condition

My first thought would be the cartridge.

The stands could have been sprayed. The clips holding the fronts on will have broken - velcro will be an addition. $750 seems quite expensive but there are not that many around.

I must confess that I had never realised just how good they were until another Beoworld member came around to listen to 3800s. We compared a whole range of speakers and used a 5500 as an amplifier. The detail on the bass through M100s was streets ahead of all the other speakers - the instruments were clear instead of just thudding. I am sure Beolab

I used a pair of S75s for many years with a Beomaster 2400-2 - which is essentially the same amplifier as the 2300. Works very well. The S75 is a fair bit bigger and has a lot more bass. It also has a very clear top end - almost bright but gives the impression of a lot of detail. I like them a lot though being honest, they are not the most linear speaker

They are probably my favourite B&O speaker - certainly the favourite ones I own! Better looking than MS150s and don't shriek in the same way at high volumes, lots and lots of bass - much much better than Pentas and more controlled than the Beolab 2 for music. And the build quality is simply fantastic.
