           Hello everyone, it's my first post here and I would like to open it with a question that bothers be for quite some time, I have posted it on B&O forums few years back but with no answer.

I would like to get the speaker stands for my old MC 120.2 speakers or if anyone has a pair at home to give me dimensions so I can make my own, alternatively.

Thanks in advance for any answers!

 

[Edit] I'm curious about this one: "Author Notes: These were extremely fine speakers with a superb sound and flat frequency response. They do suffer from foam rot and are hence very cheap these days. A replacement Peerless woofer is available or recone the original. Described to the author by a B&O insider as one of the best passive speakers made by B&O."

Which foam is the author taking about? And how to prevent it?

Hi everyone, wasn't here for some time now. Hope all of you are doing fine.

I have bought a new amp for my 120.2 pairs. It's a NAD C372 and what I am wondering, out of your experience if this amp is ok for them, concerning the power output. On the speaker set it says 120W continuous load and 200W music load. Now, the Nad has 2X150W @ 8ohm continuous and IHF dynamic power at 8Ω 220W (23.42dBW) 

Thanks.

So, I am playing with the new setup and it sounds.. well, good. What bothers me is the kind of bass that they are producing. Had the same problem with the previous set-up, besides that there was distortion at higher volumes (weaker amp). Bass sounds wooowing, like longer then it should be. Say, I am playing Dire Straits and bass is same like with some electronic music, not a sharp cut but extended. I have tried to put them on higher position in the room like 60 cm or so, and I am still getting that. As you can see from the photo they most probably had the drivers replaced, but I'll let you be the judge of that. I am still a bit afraid, to open them..

I am very sad.... and to say I bought them over a friend is even more dissapointing...

 

 

Anyone selling a pair of these?
