Favourite non B&O stuff
in LifeStyle Discussion · Jul 30, 2011 18:20That is some serious equipment!😉 I have nothing in electronics that evan compare to my B&O stuff. But if all "stuff" are considered, I really like my BMW M5, BMW 750 V12 TT and my (very slow project) Mitsubishi Starion.

Whats the best item you ever bought from B&O ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 16, 2009 15:54Best must be the AV9000, never stops surprising me with features and details. I absolutely love it, it could have been a bit bigger though... Beolink7000 is one other item I absolutely love, I find it totaly useless in a…

Replacing the midranges on Penta (already done)
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 19, 2009 10:00I think I forgot to mention one thing about the installation of the new elements. The original way they are mounted can not be used with these elements. I used a simple solution, thick glue. Simular to silicone but made …

Replacing the midranges on Penta (already done)

Replacing the midranges on Penta (already done)
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 17, 2009 16:04First of all my mid ranges were on the verge of foam rot, and I only discovered that after putting my butter fingers on them. The foam fell apart when I touched them. So the need for replacement in some way was absolutel…

B&O Penta owners will want to bookmark this!
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 8, 2009 14:16[quote user="snoopy"] I dont understand why you want to fix something that isn't broke. The midrange from my Pentas is exceptional, especially the imaging. Mine have had very little use, so perhaps your caps are shot or …
