Hi,
I recently bought a pair of Bang & Olufsen S45 Speakers along with a Beovox 500 music system.
The cases of the speakers were cracked and the veneer had lifted and stained, also the bass drivers were in a bad way, so I decided to try and sell the separate parts.
I sold the bass units, but my buyer is saying they're not the originals/genuine Bang and Olufsen speakers. I don't have any reason to think they aren't the originals that were fitted, but if they are I need to apologise and send a refund.
My speakers are marked "X821103" and are marked 6.4ohms on the back of the cone, but my buyer says they should be 4 ohms, and B&O never used 6.4 ohms speakers.
The model of s45 speaker I'm talking about has a split front grill. I would post some pics but they seem to be too large to upload here.
Hopefully you can view my pics on the DIYAUDIO.COM forum at the link below

You can see from the state of the speakers that they could be old enough to be the originals, and nothing looked like it had been disturbed on the casings, or inside the speaker.
On the other hand I suppose they've been around long enough that someone "may have" had to (or wanted to) swap them out.
Thanks, Rob
