Quick question - the Beolab 3000, 4500 and 5000 panel speakers - is the amplifier/display unit the same for all three of these models, or do they differ?

Ah, interesting, thanks.  Reason I ask, I've just bought a job lot that includes 1 pair of BL3000 and 2 pairs of BV4500, I was wondering if I should switch the amplifier component from the 3000s onto the 4500s, to make a pair of BL4500s instead.  Not sure it'll be worth the bother though. Also I'm colourblind , so the difference between yellow and green displays will be lost on me!
