Beolab penta mkII backlight intensity

5 replies
Hi Forum ,   Is there a way to give the backlight more intensity ??
left one is rather dim .
 
Is there any chance the 'brighter' one is presenting through a replacement (thinner) plastic window?

no , both have new lenses , the bright one is a newer lcd module .
Are your speakers MK2?
If so, the glasses seem to be very dark - perhaps they are in fact mkIII glasses.
