BeoLab Penta Active Loudspeakers Question

18 replies

You are very right. I was given these Penta's. The were given to my dad and they do still work but they need some TLC. I took them and I am going to redo the mids, recloth the grills and fix the amps.

 

I guess 3 or 4 hundred bucks isnt much to pay for amazing speakers that will last a good 20 more years if taken care of.

It's a bargain in the grand scheme of things.  Have the grille cloths redone in black, and enjoy a timeless piece of audio sculpture.

Also, if you're redoing the mids, do the woofers as well.  If one rubber component has degraded, the rest are sure to follow.  The labor will be practically free at that point, so may as well do it all while you're in there.

The woofers have rubber surronds and don't need to be fixed. 

Hi I have a not bad-looking pair of Penta1s but have no lights at all.

I was contemplating seeking some fuses on the Wanted board but heed your point above that they will be well overdue a service.

The Speakers are in Devon, I work in Bristol and for my sins I do a lot of travelling around the UK so I could within reason drop off and collect.

So could you give an idea of who to contact for help?

Cheers

Gary
