Some months ago my Beomaster 8000 was kind of doing the same thing. It would not respond to the terminal. I could use the buttons but not the remote. As Dillen had gone through every other bit it had to minor. I opend the front panel and carefully touched the wires that connect the boards. It turned out to be a loose connection in on of the wires. Dillen

You could go for a BM6000 then. The remote were optional so not everyone comes with one. All the features a BM6000 are pretty good for its age and sounds are great. Mono speaker? Well you can do just one but Beovox S80,S120/MC120, M150, MS150 in a stereo setting will sound very good and I can highly recommend it. It seems that you dislike B&O so

I'm also owner of a pair Beovox S120 in white. They were located in the east and Dillen got them for me. The natural rot was present so Dillen went through them. Since then they have played very good. They do give a bit more bass than my S80.2 but they are great for listning and fits the matching white Beomaster 6000 very well. My S80.2 also white

Here is another tip. Lend the system to another person like a family member. That way you don't lose it and it get's used.

Members of Beoworld all ways recommends the CDX for the Beomaster 8000. When I bought my Beomaster 8000 there was CDX included. Got both fixed and they sound great together. You don't get Datalink anyway from the 8000 so it can't be controlled by remote.

I have 2 Beomaster 6000 80's versions one palisander and one white. They sound very close to the Beomaster 8000. They drive S80.2 - S120 and M150 Beovox speakers very good. They got Datalink for any 6000-8000 products to be connected. Optinal remote which works just as good as any other Beolink 1000. Dillen got caps kit for the 6000 when needed

Can anyone here find the link to Die Bogeners upgrade? I will try the google translator.

Congratz John! Take good care of it and how about some pictures of this beauty?? Is the amplifer really that bad?

Is the mod the same as Die Bogener has shown. As its written in German I don't fully understand it. I was thinking about Penta mk III. Would that be a good one? With Penta vox ICE power seems to do the trick.

At the moment I enjoy the white Beosystem 6000 and Beogram 6006 with Beovox S120. Rare combination but sound is awesome! Listning to Gasolin' the old '70 Danish rock band. Timeless music!
