If you are able to look at B&O which is non standard then re-covering is fine. Personally I am afraid that if it aint right then I don't want it so would always buy the genuine article.

Looking from a purest point then I agree 100% Graham. I reclothed a pair of spare frets in blue and kept my originals for the day I decide I want to put them back "as was" - unfortunately being married means they are gonna stay blue for quite some time. Either that or buy SWMBO a matching charcoal grey handbag😎

That sounds like the sort of excuse a soft southerner would use...........and I thought you were a Yorkshireman!!!!

Hi Tony

If I were you I would snap Chris's hand off - his blue Pentas look absolutely stunning and if my SHMBO would allow me to have a pair this is how I would like them - one of the very few mods to B&O equipment I've seen that actually looks better than the original (can't find a picture of them - must have been on the old forum - maybe you could re-post Chris).

Cheers

salut a tous

thanks guys, plenty of food for thought! - have now contacted another outlet, he was talking more sensibly quoting £72 per pair frets ie per tower and also about £20 per mid driver - foam gone on mine - could be caused by uv i suppose the two are in a position which receives afternoon/evenning sun - possibly a lesson to be absorbed there! The foam was ok mid summer when checked

Is it an easy task refoaming the cones i see a us outfit market kits - unfortunately forgot to note price per pair!

Chris, I also would really like to see a couple more full-speaker pictures of the pentas with blue cloths.  I don't mind if they're not clean; I'm just trying to get a feel for the overall look.

Thanks!
 

re penta replacment frets.

we have accousticly transparent black speaker cloth and the self adhesive tape we use is very strong and  easy to use.(we even include all the tools needed.)

the instructions cover everything you need to know from removing the covers to sitting back and enjoying your "new" penta's in step by step photos.

nice to see someone still cares about classic B&O speakers.

Wow, just what I've been looking for, bought it right away! I will post photos here when I get the kit!
