Redline 140's (6501) OEM stand installation?

21 replies

As with all speakers, the speaker should be mounted so that the tweeter is at the same height as your ears when seated in your normal listening position.

For my RL60s, I originally wall mounted them so I didn't purchase them with stands. Later I purchased some speaker stands (non B&O) and adapted them to hold the speakers.

Since that time I have, on a couple of occasions, contemplated getting some 'proper' B&O stands from eBay but each time I have changed my mind as I don't think they look as attractive as mine. Although I do accept they are made for my speaker and probably more stable.   

Hello minaviggen, you know, Mika is right when he says you can use the ceiling poles upside down, I have and my 140's look great!

Same problem with us. If you get any info or vice versa, I send it over to you

Hey,

First, push wire speaker braket back in place so it is flush.

Tthe speaker back(where you attached the wires) hangs on the  2 hooks on the speaker bracket. Any ?'s  call us 262-719-0090

Hey Bud,

Do you have some screw or screw(s) on the back of the speakers?  They allow you to angle the speakers.  I finally figured out how to put together my speakers stands by trial and error.

Could you elaborate on how you managed to angle it? I'm going nuts trying to figure out how I'm supposed to get the speakers hanging at a decent angle!

When I hang the speaker on the floor stand, it points downwards towards the floor. I'd like for it to hang straight or maybe point slightly upwards, but without modding the stand I can't see any solution.

Thanks in advance!

You should have a screw, around 60mm long protruding from the back of the speaker. This screw bears on the mounting bracket part of the stand and causes the bottom of the speaker to be lifted away from the stand and towards the listener.

Without the screw the speakers will look at the floor!

Thanks a million for your swift reply! I'll check when I get home tonite. There isn't any screw mounted, but if there's a hole I'll try putting one in it!

You are absolutely right, it worked like a charm! For reference, there are four holes, around the indentation at the back of the speaker, so that you can use the screw as a distance any which way you decide to hang the speaker on the stand.
