Excellent job with the cubes Andrew!
Thanks for sharing, and good luck in your quest for the whole system. You won't regret it!

Hi all,

it's been a while since my last post. I thought I would finally post some pictures of my restoration work. The 5000' s looked in similar condition to the cubes when I found them in the local flea market but they really only needed a good sanding a some oil.

Still looking for a Beolab 5000 system, but most are out of my reach when and if they become available.

Irespectable conditions as well.

The Logo is actually in pretty good shape, so I'll be spending some time taping over it.

Thanks

They are glued but should pop out using a blunt flat blade. The difficulty will be reproducing the logo once you have resprayed the speaker.

Finnally received the cubes in the post on Friday.

I connected them in the traditional way as for now I don't feel like lentgthening the wires,

Initially I was disapointed as there was almost no sound coming out of them, but after trying out some different pices of music, I really found that they could improve on the 5000's alone. (Time / Dark side of the moon)

Given that my dinning room is at 180° from where the speakers are, you can really notice the difference. Also at low volumes I find that I am no longer constantly turning up the treble.

The units are in "Ok" condition (given their age) however I plan on sanding them down and fixing all the chipped edges and then spray paint them back to as original as I can.

Does anyone know if the speaker grills can be just popped out or are they glued in position.

Any help on restoring would be apreciated.

Regards to all

Andrew

Speaker 2 is really designed for the MCL system so you cannot mute it. In all other respects it will act just like a normal Speaker 2 - it will always be on.

I will be very interested to see what you think of them!

Hi, today I finally won a pair of 2500's on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110222677977&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:DE:1123

When (and if) they arrive I'll let you know my impressions.

I plan to try them out in two configurations

Directly to the 5000's, and to connect them directly to speaker 2 on my Beomaster 7000, however I don't see any controls to switch speaker 2 on and off.

Can anyone help ?

Andrew

I have but not with Beovox 5000s. I have always plugged them in the back of them. I have used them with Redline speakers though and they were most impressive! Very useful for widening the soundstage. Quite bizarre in some ways as when you switch off the main speakers, the sound from the 2500s is hardly audible but switching the 2500s off when playing the other speakers is very noticeable!

Hi Peter,

thanks for the help, have you ever tried them set up this way?

I guess that the sound would be similar to the Bose Acoustimass 5 units without the sub running.

You can just connect them to Speaker 2. There is a big capacitor in them to act as a filter for the lower frequencies. Try playing them by themselves and you will be shocked by how little information there is sent to them!
