Snoopy - fantastic job and I, like you, think the Pentas are some of the best sounding speakers i've ever heard. Well done that man!

Does this mean that the Power line always have to be earth'ed to avoid humming ?

 

Erik-nl - My initial attempt used a figure-8 power connector (like on printers) and I had a seriously bad earth loop. I ended up fitting an IEC plug (pc, kettle type) though that meant finding a right angle lead as space is tight. In other words YES.

Been playing them today and they really are awesome. The sound is so tight and precise.

Still got to source a top for my left penta as previous owner damaged it a little. Otherwise all good.

Great job.

Where to go and buy 2 X 250Watt ASE ICEpower modules when
normally only be sold by producers who have completed modules in the cabinets. ??

Hi Snoopy

All this not clear for me. Does it mrean that the display will no loger display the ifnformation from a beomaster 7000. All this is replaced by a single dot ?

Simeon.
It never had a display to start with.
It was Beovox Penta, not Beolab Penta.

Understood now. But would it be possible to fit the ice power in to the base of a beolab penta and ofcourse by-circuit the original amplifier ? That is maintain the original display but use the aplified signal from the icepower ?

Yes, it would be perfectly easy to do this.

You can convert your beolab Pentas back to beovox and keep the display if you want rid of the bottom bit. Should be a doddle to fit the board into the 150/200 base as well if that takes your fancy.

It's been a couple days and the sound quality still putting a grin on my face. It's effortless at any volume and has so much punch. Beolab 150/200 operators will hear a remarkable difference.
