I don't think they are for sale anymore, Steffen, cause I can't find them...

Hi stt

The BeoCenter 9500 can certainly handle a pair of Beovox 5000. I have a BC 9500 which now is connected to a pair of Beolab 5000 (so I don't use the amp in the BC).
But i have earlier had several different Beovox'es connected to it - from CX 100's, over MC 120.2's, to Pentas. It's not the most powerful amplifier -but it can play pretty loud anyway. No problems -and a wonderful sound.

By the way -the 5000's is not that rare here in Denmark Right now there's a pair of 'voxes for sale on a market called 'dba.dk' for only 950,-DKKr (around 100£). I would have bought them, if it wasn't for the fact that I already have the Beolabs, as mentioned above (among with many other Beovoxes) -so I don't have the room for it
I don't know if the seller is willing to send them out of the country.

The 9500 is well able to handle a pair of Beovox 5000's.

Hi all,

I just bought my first Bang & Olufsen, a Beocenter 9500 and I am wondering is it capable of handling a pair of Beovox 5000s ?

I actually still have the speakers, I hope one day to match them with my Beocenter 9000 (which is also sitting in the closet)

I once had a setup with beovox 5000 panels (wall mounted) driven by a Rega internal amp and the signal came from my ouverture. It sounded very nice and was also able to play qiute loud. The tweeter dome on the Beovox 5000 panels are in the mittle of the speaker, so you should try to mount them so that the tweeter is in the same height as your years when sitting inthe sofa (or whatever position you prefer to listen to music in...).

good luck

Christian

Thanks Tony :)

To be honest I would be prepared to have the walls channelled out, but as always there's a WAF to take into account! I also am rather taken by Lex Lance's set up, so might try them on the floor first and see how we get on. All of this is dependent on actually finding a pair in the first place. I've seen about two decent pairs in the last year on UK eBay that weren't up for crazy money!

Fingers crossed :)

We replaced the 8000's in our bedroom with a pair of 5000's. Very pleased with the sound and my wife commented that they weren't as 'strident' as the 8000's. The 5000's sound more mellow and rounded.

They put out a fair bit of sound for a bedroom but they are big.

Before I got around to mounting them I had them leaning against the wall like Lex Lance. They sounded quite good considering. I would have had no problems leaving them like that except that I wanted them up and out of harms way.
