What you need is a separate amplifier for each set of speakers. The 7000 can certainly power the M70s but you need some sort of volume control for the 6000s. At the end of the day, almost any pre-amp can be used. As long as you have some control over the 4 channels, the fact some speakers are active and some are passive is not important. On the AV7000

How are you getting 4 channels out of the 7000? It only has two. The problem is that you cannot alter the volume of the different speakers so it would be completely luck if they happened to be about the same. The same pre-amp will be driving all four with the power amplifier in the 7000 driving the M70s and the built in power amplifiers in the active

My 3000 hummed as well! I resorted to decoupling it from the table using four half squash balls! Actually worked rather well! I would try a decent aerial plug before doing anything else. I think one of these would be fine in the first event.

No reason you cannot do this though I imagine the problem will be getting the volume levels right. You can get an ambio connection box which will fit any Beomaster of course.

Working my way through what we are looking for! The major things are user manuals. I have started with Beomasters! These are the ones missing - we do have most service manuals though. Beomaster 1100 1200 1400 (either!) 1500 1600 1700 2000 (70s) 2200 2300 3300 4401 (we have the 4400!) If anyone has one of these and can send me a scanned copy, I will

I had the same problem with Pentas and the BV10. No solution to the displays unless you use an audio system and plug the speakers into this.

Agree with Chris - MS150s are the best speakers I have heard made by B&O. A good big one will always beat a good small one - and the MS150s are big!

Seems expensive to me - I would get the 9500.

Not sure it looks that easy! I have put the fitting manual for the high stand on site in the BV1 service manual area.

Nice system but not worth a huge amount for the following reasons. 1. The Beomaster doesn't use the Beolink 1000 codes so has to have its own dedicated remote. The other units do use Datalink though so can be used with a Beomaster 5500. 2. The Beocord is not auto-reverse. In fact it is a much better deck because of this but it hits the price. Beocords
