GdnrBob Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I like to get updates on all things Vandersteen, but this item popped up today. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224833812874?hash=item345923b98a:g:iPkAAOSwBsBiBrm~ I have never seen an M5-HP with what looks like a BNC connector and two RCA pigtails. TMR audio is a pretty respected retailer, so I guess it is real. But, is it something Vandersteen built? Or, a FrankenM5? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob I believe this was a custom pair for bridging some BEL amps many years ago. RV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thanks Mr. V. One question is 'Why are the outputs split? I have no experience/knowledge with BEL amplifiers.- But, is it something that would apply to other amps? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Vandersteen Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 You start with a stereo amp and the M5-HPB must be driven by a balanced signal. Pin #2 goes in one channel and pin #3 goes in the other channel inputs. The speaker is connected to the red terminal of each channel with a jumper connecting the 2 channel black terminals together. This is not recommended without checking with the amp manufacture because it could blow the amp up! RV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Yikes, this sounds very amp specific. I wonder why Music Room would offer them for sale? Though BEL amp owners would probably know of it. On 8/12/2022 at 5:57 PM, GdnrBob said: Or, a FrankenM5?
