Keith as Tony said the tacky glue or whatever Myrko (goodhifi) gives you should only take about an hour to dry.  I'd still wait at least half a day before doing the outer portion though, just to be safe.  Take a look at Andy's thread.  Also, if you google something like "speaker refoaming" you'll find some good photo tutorials online.  I think that's how I first learned.

Hello,

 as I am just planning for the weekend to do the midrange from my pentas, I wonder if I need to shim the cone or if the method of presseing down is efficient enough. No one clearly mentioned this yet.

 Thanks for answer.

I am amazed and pleased. Done the pentas 2 weeks ago and even my cousin who is very picky did confirm a super set of speakers - sound is superb. As the speakers were rotten - purchased them on ebay for 350€ with cloth diteorations on the grill, foam roat and scratches on the stainless - most of the stuff is done now -> Refoamed, polished and new cloth.

Now I have 2 more questions.

The beovox pentas have a surround of plastic profile in copper colour. There is one edge brocken off on one speaker. How can I fix this? Is the profile available - looks like glued with double sided tape.

Second - I have a beocenter 9000, MX5500 TV and the mentioned Pentas. Is a normal DIN cable sufficiant to connect the TV with the Beocenter? Or do I need a special B&O Datalink cable, as Powerlink is not installed?

 Thanks in advance for replies.
