link : Do you have pictures of beolab 8000’s with your 5mm brackers/final result looks? I’m interested in how it looks compared to Matadors 4mm brackets, because the ‘curve’ looks smaller on the 4mm brackets…
Sorry for the late reply. Here are some pictures. The top still needs to be worked with to ensure a nicer look. I have created a top cover to 3D print instead of cutting one out of black cardboard, STL attached.

You need to zip the files before attaching them.

Hey guys

I'm new here. I stumbled upon this thread doing research for something completely different, but I got inspired by the great work/results you guys are doing so I'm considering doing this project for that reason alone :-)

My first step would be to get my hands on a pair of 8000's. What are your recommendations for this? In my country they sell for around 350-500 USD/EUR. I will probably need to get them sent by post so I might not be able to inspect them myself before buying. What info should I ask from the seller? Are there any known errors? If I can ask for pictures, what should I look for? Are there any tweaks/maintenance I should do myself when I get them?

Thanks :-)

You need the serial number and a picture of the front of the speakers without the cloth fronts. You can post it here so then we can helpp you further.

Better a pic of the serial numbers, woofers and between the speaker and cooling block ( to see if the foam was cut or not.

R you can send me a pm.

Thanks, I appreciate that! I will keep a lookout for a pair, preferably somewhere close so I can inspect them. Also, sorry for posting off topic in this thread :-)

Via een kennis kwam ik achter dit interessante forum .

Ik ben nieuw hier en heb 2 Beolab 8000 MK1 , die ik graag voor eigen gebruik met hout wil bekleden ! Is er iemand die weet waar ik in Nederland bevestigingsklemmen voor de Houten Frets kan kopen of 3D kan laten printen ?

Ben erg nieuwsgierig of iemand mij aan deze informatie kan helpen.

Dear Forum Members

I found out about this interesting forum through an acquaintance.

I am new here and have 2 Beolab 8000 MK1, which I would like to cover with wood for my own use!

Does anyone know where I can buy mounting clamps for the Wooden Frets or have them 3D printed?

I'm very curious if anyone can help me with this information.
