Hi chieftech1,

The good news is that you can use ANY B&O speakers with your Beomaster 3000, either the passive (unpowered) Beovox speakers from the 1980's and earlier (eg. Beovox CX50 as you suggested), or the later Beolab active (powered) speakers via the headphone socket on the Beomaster (or by adding a suitable attenuator to the speaker terminals if you prefer).

Speaker choice is a very individual one, as each model of speakers tends to have its own unique "voice" which appeals to some people and not to others.  Also, some speakers work better in larger rooms, while some sound best at lower volumes, or with certain styles of music, etc, etc, etc.

My own personal approach is to buy a pair of speakers via a well-known online auction site (especially if they look nice, are well priced and the seller is local), then I try them out at home to see if I like them.  If I don't like them, I sell them on again, you can normally get about the amount that you paid for them, so you have (almost) nothing to lose......

If you need any help connecting up your chosen speakers, please feel free to get in touch via my sponsor link at the foot of this page and I will be happy to help.

Kind regards, Steve.

Ok guys, i need help please. I have a beomaster 3000 amplifier and i am trying to find out the most compatable and best speakers to use with it. I have been told CX50 are good. I must confess to being a dummy when it comes to B & O stuff so would appreciate any help in choosing the right speakers. Thanks
