I just one a bid for a Beomaster 1700 on Eaby for 1 pound 75!! Its in good cosmetic condition but is untested. I couldn't resist though. Is the Beomaster 1700 consider as a good product?

The woofers on my Beovox S55's suffered badly from foam rot. This model is well known for foam rot. Almost all of them have suffered from it

I'm using a pair of Beovox 5700 which are quite large and are perfectly suited to the 4400 as it has a lot of power. Can really turn it up!

I cannot give an unbiased opinion as I haven't heard the 5000 or 8000, but my 4400 really does sound wonderful. I was very suprised when I first tried it. It is very good when it comes to bass. Bit low on the treble side maybe?

There's a company with no pride or work ethic!

I have to say I stay far away from MP3's. Have no idea where my MP3 player is actually. I'd much rather listen to a CD. Strangely enough I find the whole mp3 thing inconvenient for home. Too much effort. I suppose its convenient for listening on Ipods, but I hate listening to music through headphones so thats another strike in my books!!

Quite suprised! Are there no more purists on this site!!

Wouldn't this render the Beocenter worthless? In my mind it would have no re-sale value after the modifications? You can connect an Ipod anyway although it wouldn't be part of the Beocenter which I guess is your aim.

tascam: I still think it's overpriced and the sound is poor for the money. These were new unopened boxes, garbage You've said that the performance is poor. I suggest you decide what you believe in before you post!

I have to be honest and say I don't know anything about Beolink passive but I thought powerlink sockets were for active speakers?? Can they be used for other purposes too? Couldn't find a clear explanation on the site
