Beolab/Beovox penta Flipping the midrange/tweeter panel

3 replies

I have not had a chance to test it due to the late hour and living in an apartment but i switched the right side penta's midrange panel so the tweeter is facing inside and midrange facing the outside so the left and right side speakers match. Anyone else ever try this if so how did it sound?

If it had made any difference, B&O would have produced left and right Pentas.  😂

I think you shouldn't bother to much about that.

All the speakers are vertically "mirror" placed. So it doesn't have any effect for the height of the speakers and it's spreaded/radiated sound.

If you think it will make a difference, then you could  turn 1 penta more towards you. But if your "hot spot" is placed several metres from the penta's, I think the radiation of the mids and tweeters are wide enough without the need of turning.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.
