What ever they are they are not Beolab 4500 as they would have green displays. However you will need the Mk2 powerlink cables to make the displays work.

Since you are connecting 2 pairs of speakers you would be best to connect one of the powerlink sockets in the BC9500 to a Beolab 4500(?) and from there to the other Beolab 4500(?).

Use the Mk3 cables to connect the Beolab 1's to the other powerlink socket on the BC9500.

The Xtra speaker kit is not needed in this configuration.

joeyboygolf:

The speakers might be Beovox 3000 or 4500 with amps which have been removed from a pair of Beolab 5000!

It will be interesting to note what colour the displays are?

I don't believe that Lab 5000's were ever sold with green displays!

hi there,

the display indeed is orange. does it mean a beovox 4500 was connected with the amp of beolab 5000?

however can you please advise if the dispaly has to come from both the units or one of the two uniits. also can you advise how one can integrate the following:

BC9500, Beogram 9500 with beolab 1 and beolab 4500

i have the following cables MKIII for lab 1 and MK II for lab4500;

in addition i also have MCL Xtra speaket kit.

cheers

well it took me more than 1 hour to cut open reams of bubble pack. it was 3 boxes in total - BC9500 in one box, speakers in second, beogram and all other accessories in the 3rd. it came unscathed except for a small chip on the BC9500 flap for sockets which can be glued. all credit goes to martin (seller) and the handler who ensured that the boxes can withstand all the jolts.

well the customs did not open it and the duty levied was ~ 130 pounds. freight was 400 pounds paid in india. aint sure if the deal continues to be a bargain. i am of the view that it works out to be cheaper to book it from india.

i started testing last evening and have a few querries:

the BC9500 powers up and plays - the cassette compartment is stuck; i also tried with my hand towards gliding it however i could not succeed. any advise on this would be a welcome
the seller mentioned that the sticker says BL5000 but he was of the view that it is indeed BL4500. the impedence at the back also mentions 8 ohms. i am yet to measure the physical dimension parituclarly the length; if it is indeed BL4500 why would it say BL5000
besides i try to power and hook it to BC9500 however it did not show any life. it would not power up. i am yet to try it again this evening. any guidance for the dummy would be very useful
never exposed to turntable any guidance on the same would also be a welcome. somewhat reluctant to test before i read about it.

overall happy with the purchase. just hoping the speakers power up.

on the aside i would also like to mention that i shipped a MX4002 from lifestyle more than a year back. again i was fortunate to receive it in order. needless to mention the packaging from lee and gang. the trail then was through sea.

cheers

A very fair price for this set. Too far to drive from USA to pick up, though.
