I just installed the crossover kit from Dillon in my Beolab Penta MK2. I didn’t expect much difference, but holy sh*t 😁

This just sound so pleasing!

Can’t believe I haven’t done it before.

Thats encouraging - Thanks Leo :)

Im still waiting on parts for my midranges. I want to hear them assembled with the 30 year old crossovers first, so i can hear the improvements with the new caps, and then again with the amp kit installed. Fun project !!

Hi Kiwi. 

Yes I did the amp at the same time - full cap replacement kit, including a new chip from Martin (Dillen). I also replaced all the mid range speaker cones. Well worth the effort to keep these beasts in top trim.  Enjoy the fruits of your labours!

Hi Dillen - do you do upgrades to Beovox Pentas? And are you based in CPH?

 

Best, Kevin
