The 5500 is a normal receiver and will work with any passive speaker, B&amp;O or not. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/295399.aspxMon, 27 Sep 2010 08:47:23 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:295399gibsonlott0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/295399.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=295399<p>I have a beomaster 5500 which I purchased a year ago without speakers.&nbsp; In looking through the manuals I got with the system, it appears that it originally came with RL140 speakers.&nbsp; Currently I&#39;m running some small Paradigm speakers which trip the receiver when I exceed a volume of 20, and I feel certain that the system would function much better with b&amp;o speakers.&nbsp; So recently I&#39;ve been looking to buy some on Ebay.&nbsp; Should I go back with rl140s?&nbsp; Any advice is greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Thanks!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
