I got this question today and despite the orange, yellow and green displays what are the differences between the Beolab Penta speakers in general?

The major difference is that Mk 1 do not have Powerlink sockets. Officially the Mk 2 & 3 have 200W amplifiers but the difference is negligible.  I have Mk 3s which are still wonderful.

Also the filters.

The mk1 has to most parts om the filters, where the mk3 has the least...

The mk3 are sold with 2 different green displays. The lastest version has a bit smaller digits and wider located between each digit.

The passive part from the MK1 and MK2 have easy to use srews underneath, where the mk3 has a kind of "solderlips"

The latest displaycover can't be used on earlier versions.
