Beolab Penta 3

These I purchased two years ago and refurbished them with new foam surrounds and frets.

They have once or twice clipped a little but generally you know when its happening because the sound dips.

They are by far the most powerful speakers with great sound great bass, they are relentless and never let me down, I am moving soon and having the discussion will they fit in the dining room and I cannot bear to part with them. Maybe SHAPE will be the next step but fact remains the 20 year old Penta outperform every other speaker I have had.

+1 😁

I am also on the Penta 3 team 😁

They sound really really great, mine have gotten the complete overhaul with new caps in filters and amplifiers. It is really a fantastic speaker..

My changes have all been cosmetic.

I do need to have the amplifiers and crossovers taken out and checked but not got to it yet

Also mine have been through the wars a little but they sit in the corners so cannot be seen.

One day they will go to a panel beaters for new body's

Or I will sell them and get a pair already done

Thanks for all your messages, really appreiciate it.

So looks like Beolab Pentas mk3 then, if i decide to do that i'll have to make sure thay have been refoamed.

But.... thinking about it.... now thinking about pushing the boat out.... and getting a pair of Beolab 5's !!!

Still need to get the wife on board first, fingers crossed.

Beolab 9 has about 700 watt each. The Beolab 4000 has about 50 watt each. Beolab 9 can play very loud, and you dont need a subwoofer. There is enough bass in the Beolab 9. They go down to 30 Hz with full power.

I can attest to the low end power of the BL9's they're remarkably able in the bass department. Zero need for a dedicated sub. Quite a few members on these forums believe the BL9's to be utterly sublime, one of the best speakers B&O have created.
