    Hmm [^o)] Adaptors for 'old;' B&O 2 pin speaker connections

    I currently have a 7007 driving non B&O passive speakers.

    Am thinking of upgrading to a pre owned Beomaster 3500 or one of the 5000, 6000 or 700 series.

     Unfortunatley poverty means I cannot afford to upgrade to B&O speakers at the same time.

    hence I will need to use my esisting speakers, cables and connection.

    Can anyone please tell me if I will change my 2 pin connection to something alse and, if so where can I source the necessary adaptors ?

    Cheers

    You should be alright if you're using 2 pin DIN connectors at present. As far as I'm aware, the 3500/4500 and 5000/5500/6500/7000 all have two pin DIN sockets in the same way your 7007 has.

    Assuming you have a beocenter 7007 i guess now it has a DIN-standard round and flat pin speaker connection, this is the same for the BM 3500/5000/6500 etc.

    If poverty is your problem you might consider (if you're not happy with your speakers) not to spend your money on one of the BM's you mention, but to get speakers like the Beovox S45.2 which can be found for next to nothing (20 pounds a set even.....), i think if you want b&o speakers for ''no money'' this is the one to get (and is really a nice speaker, should be rated much higher..).
