Update: I bought a set of Beovox RL6000 in mint condition today unseen. It will take a couple of days to have them delivered. Black piano lacquer with floor stands and cabels for less than 135 Euro. They will be tested with my Beocenter 9500. I´m not sure that I will like them soundwise however. I have never listened to passiv B&O speakers

All MX 7000 had active speakers and the MX 6000 had passive speakers. http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=642 I had a MX 7000 many years ago. I sold it and bought a AV 9000 that I still use. If the CTR is used as a stand alone product I would choose a MX 7000 every day in the week. The mono speaker in the AV 9000 is not as good as the stereo

I always liked the AV 9000, Beosound Overture, Beolab 8000, Beolab 6000 combo. The Beosound 9000 is another favorite. David Lewis designed many B&O icons during his career. Sound wise the Beolab 5 is on top. The design took time to get use to.

[quote user="Chrisreunion"] I went for the 4000 and was never disappointed by them, however, the newer 4000 with ICE Power amps has a higher distortion rate + smaller amps than the older version, so I wouldn't recommend it. [/quote] Out of curiosity, can one say the same about the new Beolab 8002 and Beolab 6002 with ICE Power?

[quote user="Yendys"]After about 9 years of a lot of playing my drivers went, i checked price to replace & recalibrate through B&O service and seem to recall it was very reasonable give their new/used value. They still sound wonderful after a further 5 years although they are now in a link room.[/quote] I agree, B&O after sales

[quote user="Michael"] What price point did you see the BL5's for? Sometimes you never know what financial position is in and if it's all borrowed money, sometimes you are forced to sell. [/quote] I would love to buy second hand Beolab 5 under market price from someone desperate that lived above their financial means by borrowing money

[quote user="tournedos"] It's just another variation of the infamous Nigerian scam. [/quote] I think you are right. Searched the french forum yesterday and found a thread. Could be the same people fishing for people to scam. I used google translate to understand what the french members wrote. http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/p/30326/316892

Just out of curiosity. Is it common that there are scams on second hand equipment from B&O? I looked at two ads from abroad and both advertised Beolab 5 speakers but with different prices. I belive that they where too good to be true. Haven´t even contacted the sellers. Even with the financial crises around Europe, I don´t think anyone

[quote user="lausvi"] The serial and software numbers of the Beolink 7000 are in a sticker that is situated "under" the hinge. [/quote] Found it. Thanks! [quote user="tournedos"] [quote user="Hubbe"]Thanks, is there any reason to let B&O download a newer software or is it even possible?[/quote] Generally,

[quote user="tournedos"] [quote user="Hubbe"]Is that the software version the Beocenter got from the factory?[/quote] Yes. [/quote] Thanks, is there any reason to let B&O download a newer software or is it even possible? Now I know that my Beosystem 7000 is from 1994/95, my AV9000 from 1997 and Beocenter 9500 from 1991 .
