Speakers?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 12, 2011 15:44[quote user="Medogsfat"] There are two S45 speaker versions - the S45 & S45-2. You really want to be looking for the 45-2's as these have rubber surrounds on the bass drivers. The S45's have foam surrounds which will hav…
Jensen has lost his touch
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 6, 2010 06:08I like the cube too, but i the shelf placement oin the first picture doesn't work for me, I like it much more in Soundproof's picture as a freestanding unit and the echoes of the 80's and 90's Beosystems is very pleasing…

in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2010 11:50Here in the UK you would expect to make at least double or possibly treble that amount by selling privately, so upgrading in the way you describe doesn't seem very cost-effective to me! Simon

Beovox M150 and Beomaster 6500
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 28, 2010 06:06I agree with most of the posts here. It is commonly forgotten that most listening in a domestic setting takes place at around 2-3 watts, so I cannot foresee any problems driving the M150's with a Beomaster 6500. Simon
Hope one of us got .......
in eBay - the right way! · Sept 20, 2010 07:28I was lucky enough to win of these earlier in the year when it was listed with a BIN of £85. It really is a stunning set. The right hand internal speaker distorts but I couldn't complain at the price. I am not really sur…

A8 fakes?
in eBay - the right way! · Sept 14, 2010 06:52[quote user="Leslie"] Still my question leaves unanswered, looks like nobody can tell/see the difference. If I gave one of you the fake one and the genuine one, could you tell👍, better could you hear? [/quote] There is …
New set up
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 9, 2010 07:08It sounds to me like an iPod and dock for the kitchen would be the ideal solution. You would need to rip the CD's to iTunes (or buy an iPod touch and subscribe to Spotify) but once this has been done, it would be a much …
