No problem - a pleasure to help!

Well, I've tested them. And to be honest, my Bose 301 Series III Speakers sound better. They sound like they handle the bass better.

Now is this because I'm using a Technics SUA600 Amp, and not the B+O Amp that came with the original Hi-Fi?

Or could it be the damaged foam on the Woofers that's causing it?

To be honest, I can't see it being the foam. May be the Amp?

If the Beovox speakers are not restored then comparing their sound in that state is not a good test. The foam surrounds are not there for looks. They hold the outer edge of the cone in place as it travels in and out to produce sound. When the foam starts to deteriorate the cone travel is compromised and you won't hear what the speaker is capable of. The drivers with the foam rot are the ones the M-150 uses for bass. Of course there could be problems with other drivers in your M-150s as well as the possibility that the electrolytic capacitors in the speaker's cross-over need replacing. However, I would get the obvious thing, the woofers, fixed first and re-evaluate the sound.

Seriously, - by just looking at them, you can tell that they have serious faults and still you are judging them - comparing them to other speakers?
Result being that you are not sure why they sound less than optimal and instead blame your amplifier???

The pressure chamber / bass reflex cabinets are no longer closed, the woofers have no edge suspension or damping and
all T/S parameters are down the drain.
That's about everything that must never happen to a speaker. - Not to mention a person evaluating, judging and even comparing them to
others like that.

Thanks for the detailed reply Sonavor.

I will have to find a repair agent near where I live.

Thanks for the reply Martin. Yes, maybe I was being a bit silly as to why the speakers did not sound how I expected them to.

Although in my defence I am neither an Audio, or Speaker expert.

Can anybody suggest where I can take them for repair please?

I am in north Cheshire, and fairly close to both Liverpool and Manchester.

Obviously with each Speaker weighing 22kgs I would drop them off in my car and not send by courier.  😁

The previous owner gave me the original small 4 page booklet that came with the Speakers.

If anyone would like to see it I can scan and upload it for you.

Hy.

Could someone help me to connect beovision 6210 to jack port or USB or another port.

I got 8 pin cable with 6 core wired.

Want to connect to non b&o products 

Have a look at www.audioloudspeakers.co.uk.This is company called D.C.Boultons,that specialise in the supply and rebuilding of loudspeakers.If you can remove the faulty bass  driver's and send them for assessment,this seems to be the best course of action as with all due respect,you are a novice in the Beoworld?

Refurbished drive units will transform those speakers,you will be pleased with the result.

Make a note of the connections to the drivers,to ensure correct reconnection.

The company are located in Norfolk,so not in your 'hood,but the drivers will be much easier to ship than the whole speakers.
