Yes - every single B&O passive will work with this amp.

Or you could try Tim Jarman via the Beocentral website. Highly recommended and very reasonable rates, but you'd have to drive down to Hampshire as he doesn't really trust couriers with these old units in transit.

Assuming both amps are in good servicable condition then I doubt you'll get an improvement with the 2400. I have owned both, and rate the Beomaster 5000 amp very highly. The 2400 is ok, but not as powerful nor does it sound as sweet as the 5000. I had my 5000 with a Cona and some CX50s and was very satisfied with it :)

How often do Beovox 5000s turn up for sale, and are there any issues that occur that should put off a prospective buyer (foam rot, etc.)? I am quire inspired by Gustavo's photos of his home :) Beovox 2500s seem to be out of reach purely because they look great and are so collectable - not that I expect many pairs are actually plugged in to either

[quote user="macjonny1"] I know this is probably sacrilege, but could you run active speakers with the BL5000 through attenuated cables? [/quote] It would be utterly, utterly pointless. What would one of the finest ever B&O amps be doing in this scenario?

Have you seen the size of the current room they're in Dave? I have Pentas and also have a Cona, but they're used together at the moment in my large living space with the bad boy BM8000 :) I am taken with the idea of BV5000 panels though one day in a larger room, but they seem as hard to find as the bloody Beolab/Beomaster 5000 was in the first

Grrrr. CX50s are not cutting it as this amp is making my Airport Express sound good. Think I need some bigger speakers (and a bigger flat)!

Same here Mika - the left side of the casing is a better heatsink than...err...the heatsink!

[quote user="soundproof"] @Burantek - yours look excellently maintained! One suggestion - place the amplifier on top, that way, there's more air circulating through the vents in the wood, and you'll probably reduce the operating temperature, increasing longevity of the components.
