I connected my TV to my Beomaster 5500 by connecting the TV/AUX port on the Beomaster to the TV headphones output.
Additionally, I’ve disabled TV speakers.
I got the needed cables from Steve 🙂
I have a Beogram 5500 which is not exactly the same as RX2 but it was made roughly around the same era. As far as cartridges go, you are correct. They are expensive but they can be found.
Other than that, my TT has been working flawlessly for quite some time now so I’d say these things were built to last.
You sort of summarized my thoughts. I’ve been thinking the same thing as you’ve pointed out. The 8000s were a bargain and spending for Beolab 19s feels not right. I’ve found a decently priced Beolab 11 and I’ll give it a go.
Regarding the 20s. I feel like that these are something that would totally fit my use case. The downside is that I can’t try them out. Sort of have to gamble one them 🙂
Also will have to convince my wife since she quite likes the 8000s :).
For music you dont need more than 2 good speakers. Any speaker more makes it worse. Music and something like Dolby 5.1 is not working. It sounds great some hours and then you notice: there is something wrong.
Not sure where this is coming from but I’m not looking into any surround setups. I’m also in favour of stereo setup. I’m just trying to find the bass with 8000s in a large room :).
I’ve read that Beolab 2 is a great subwoofer for movies but not music.
I’m sort of inclining towards the Beolab 11 now. Less powerful than 2 and 19 but should be enough to compensate the lack of bass on 8000s.
Die_Bogener, thanks for pointing this out. You are correct, Beolab 19 only has one powerlink input. I must have confused it with Beolab 11 subwoofer.
Thank you for also pointing out the issue with mixing analog and DSP speakers.
Do you have any suggestions for an analog bass?
Interesting, I haven’t heard about this delay. But I assume if 8000s are connected to the 19 itself the delay should be gone, right?
Hi trackbeo, thanks for your reply. I did some reading on the archivedforum2 and found some useful information.
I’m trying to connect my non-B&O streamer to Almando Powerlink switch and the input expects a trigger signal on pin 4 to activate the input.
I have a Beolink Passive with a triggered powerlink cable which I was hoping to use to connect the streamer to the Almando switch. But the Passive trigger signal in that cable is wired to Power Up – Pin 1 and Dataground – Pin 7. Forgot to check, if Pin 7 is shorted to Pin 2 in that specific trigger cable.
I’m looking for metal bolts with rubber feet. The same as Tignum posted in his first photo.
I would really like to get the original replacement parts. If I’m not able to find any, I’ll conjure something up with generic bolts and rubber pads 🙂
I haven’t used that specific combination but I imagine there shouldn’t be any problems. The pre-outs on Beomaster 6500 and 7000 output normal line-level signal.
I have a question regarding the dimensions in the STL file. When I opened the files the size looks a bit off.
@matador, can you confirm if multiplying the scale factor for x100 will get the right dimensions?
