That's where they usually live, didn't bother moving them for this picture... I bought the two ebony giraffes in Arusha, Tanzania; the small one was made by my grandfather probably 60 years ago 🙂
S45 (83-86) floor stand ???
Looks like you guys are on the ball! My: "day or three" was accurate... horrid weekend! 😡
At this point I can offer to validate the measurements; I can also offer that there are different sized stands -as I have at least two different sizes.
No problem Jaff 🙂
We are waiting for your validation
I was just worried that you won't have a metric measuring tape Jaff, and we'd have to deal with some dead king's elbow lengths or something 😂
I'll be interested to see what the other sizes might be. The guy I bought these speakers from had made new mounting holes in the speakers so that they sat about 10 cm lower than originally (the pic above is with the "correct" holes). Have to agree I liked the lower look more.
I got original manuals for most of my Beovox speakers.
S45-2, S80.2 S120 and M150
They all use the 6017 stand exept the M150 is called 6016.
You have the option to wall mount those 6017 speakers too with the 6014 wall mount.
I was close to missing those but thank god I noticed them and got the 2 NOS pairs.
Each package consist of 2 plates, a bag of screws and mounting instructions.
The speakers can be mounted 2 ways and still be tipped like when on stands.
As seen here on a pair of Beovox S45-2 you mount 2 screws and then you can hang the speaker on the plate.
As far as I can see I can use Beovox S45-2, S80.2 and S120 which is great.
Hey All,
I guess you'll need to be a little careful with regard to the angle.... as the speaker basically 'hangs' off the stand cantilevering over the base it needs to have the perfect balance for stability and I'm sure B&O did a few test stands to get this right... I would recommend doing a mockup first to make sure you've got it right...🤒
Laurence.
Good point Laurence, but I don't think there's any real danger. I guesstimate these S80.2's of mine can be tilted 10-15° degrees each way before they would tip over - about the same as my passive Pentas. The center of gravity is a bit on the front side on these, I guess the smaller and flatter models will be even more stable.
I believe the angle is there purely for the looks - if you leave out the adjustment screw as in my last picture, the bottom of the speaker sits nearly exactly above the bottom of the stand.
