The magnet arrived!



Stick 6 of them in corners and middle sides.



And stick metallic "tablets" (don't know English name…) in the same places on the fret…



Intensive testing for now but si far it holds the fret without vibrations.

Great thread – just acquired a set of four P50s and look forward to seeing what state they're in when I collect them!

@matador is there a specific way to mount these speakers on a wall? I've searched but can't find any specific info on brackets, fixings etc.

I mounted a pair to the wall by using the holes on the back as a template - there should be two sort of triangly things in the middle and you want to drill holes in the wall in accordance with the distance between the middle of the two - form memory you can adjust them to make the speaker level. I don't recall any specific mounting bracket - but someone else might have more information

Thanks @ajames – that's where my mind was going in the absence of any specific brackets!

So it looks like I've got to do my best @matador impression and create a glueing jig as two of the 8 woofers have detached magnets :(

Can I ask what glue you used to reattach them?

For the other 6 I have added a bead of epoxy round the join, as I did with my S45-2s, to hopefully stabilise them.

Have to say @matador – that *clack* when the magnet connects is terrifying ?





Nervous times adjusting, but all moving freely now – waiting for the epoxy to cure.

Hey @ajames, I've just got  a couple of P45 and I don't know how to mount them on the wall. You speak about drilling amidst the two triangular shaped holes... I don't really get it. And then you drill the back of the speaker? I don't think so, buy I just can't picture it. Do you have any photos/quick sketch? Any kind of help is very welcome :)

I cleaned them and swapped all electrolytics. And then re-grilled them with a very soft & thin cloth. They are looking great, but they are also sad because of not being mounted  :(

Cheers!
