Very nice, they will bring  you marvelous sound. By the way, l they stunning.🙂

Thanks,

Yes, when I picked up those 5702 and started listen I heard beautiful hi and mid tones, much better than M70, better than my KEF 104aB, but bass was not enough compared it with M70.

 I'm surprised because I only changed wires and sealed drivers/boxes but I have more bass, Now it's sounds more like my M70 but with much better mid and hi tones. Woofer play strong with precision and when 5702 play low tones I still hear amazing hi and mid. In M70 woofer is too domination. 

Now I pluged Beovox 5702 on Speaker1 and M70 on Speaker2 in Beolab 5000 and I have direct compare.... and M70 were beaten on all frequences. 

When I brought 5702 home:

and now:

because the king can be only one.

The whole 7-series (1700/2700/3700/4700/5700 and all the more or less updated 02-models) are excellent speakers with good quality drivers.
They are from a time, where record players and amplifiers really took off qualitywise, and speakers often became the weakest link.
The difference from the 1960s speakers to these is enourmous.

And I think these speakers are undervalued. I tried find info in Beoworld and I would never buy 5700/5702 based on information which I found. In my opinion it is excellent speaker with amazing hi and mid tones and great strong woofer sound.

I bought these 5702 because I read the posts of retired audio engineer a man who sold audio equipment in the USA in the 70's. Let me quote a few sentences from "few thread in one" here:

"5702 were better smoother highs, lower distortion bass and a glorious midrange that Cornwalls and Kornerhorns colored."

"The ML-1c and B&O 5700 were our best Book shelf speakers, the Macs had better bass below 60 HZ but from there up the 5700 was the clear winner."

"When Bose and B&W came calling try to sell their wares they all stuttered after hearing their speakers fail miserably when auditioning against the 5700. ADS/Braun, Yamaha NS 1000 and 690 speakers weren't even in the same league. Only a Symphony could compete, but didn't have the sweet highs unitil the 200Z tweeter came along, and by then big speakers were on the way out and were not popular. We kept a few 5700 pairs around as reference speakers just to keep Snell, EPI, and other sales reps honest."

"The 5700 really didn't need 100 watts per channel but that said we sold a bunch with MC 2505 and MC 2105 Mac power amps."

"I know the M150 was supposed to be superior to a 5700, but when connected via a B&O comparator with the levels set the same using a General radio Sound level meter and 1 KHZ octave band pink noise driven with a Mac 2505 power amps our techs and sales staff all thought the 5700 easily won using Sheffield recordings as a reference. Female vocals were more natural and the Drum track record was so much more."

Someone used it:

Visaton LTS 50 for speaker paper cone.

Where the 5700 etc. came at a time, where speakers else were becoming the weakest link, the M150 etc. came at a time, where buyers started looking
more at specs and numbers on papers.
In the specs the M150 is superior. It's far more linear and has far better numbers.
But I don't listen to the numbers or frequency graphs. I listen to what comes out of the speakers and decide if I like it or not.
Perhaps that goes for you too.  🙂

Oh yes, and I not only listen, I also feel. This whole feeling creates a picture of music and decides which speakers you like and which do not.

@Dillen, do you have experience with LTS-50 ??

I aplied it and... it change everything with woofers. It changed not only sound but woofers work too. I played "Two Feet - Go *** yourself" and bass was harder and stronger than before use LTS-50. Now bass "hit in point" if you know what I mean. It is not lazy, now sounds with precision.

Before aplied Visation, the woofers were shaking. Jumped front and back even though there were no low sounds. Now there is no uncontrolled jump. It seems the woofers are standing still. Even at very low impact they seem to stand still although the bass is stronger. I will try to edit a split screen movie that shows it because I recorded the behavior before LTS.

Before:

After:

Visaton, LTS etc. Well, yes and no...
It changes the T/S parameters quite drastically, so in theory the crossovers and perhaps the volume of the cabinets should be changed to suit.
- Theoretically!   They may actually sound better in some peoples ears.

It was tried on some discoteque woofers which cracked and broke up a few months later.
The cones apparently got too rigid and broke like brittle plastic.
Perhaps it would be good on midrange and tweeters. I really only apply it if owners specifically ask for it.

Martin

I will observe it.

I not afraid about T/S parameter (maybe I'm stupid 😁 ) because originaly AD1056 woofers were made of plain paper like here:

BeO ( I think ) aplied something to paper cone and changed originally T/S parameter. Secound thing, BeO used two different crossovers to the same set of drivers and AD1056 woofer. 

My friend has 6253 type with the same AD1056 and crossovers:

My second friend has 6229 type with the same hi and mid driver and Alnico AD1056 but has other crossover, the same like in my 5702:

In the woofer section instead of 100uF (2 x 50uF) I have 75uF
In the mid tone section instead of 3.3uF and 12uF I have 1uF tropical fish, one 2.2uF tropical fish and 20uF
In the hi tone section instead of 2uF (2 x 1uF tropical fish) and 5uF I have 1uF tropical fish, one 2.2uF tropical fish and one 8uF

Third thing, BeO use the same crossovers (both types) with AD10100 (ceramic magnet). AD1056 and AD1056 were different T/S parameter.
