Restoring C75's, S45.2s and MC 120.2 and a Master Control Panel 7700
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 13, 2008 10:30The MC120.2s are very nice. I recently bought a pair (my first B&O product), and I have been very happy with them. There are plenty of places that can refoam old speakers. Just Google it.

in Beo-Mac · May 30, 2008 05:40Nice. That big antenna looks like it would boost the range something fierce. Looks like it's definitely worth the money.
What's playing RIGHT NOW?
in Music & Film · May 23, 2008 21:38I actually think it's computer generated, not an actual spiral galaxy. I just had it in my desktop picture library, and decided to upload it.
What's playing RIGHT NOW?
in Music & Film · May 22, 2008 06:58beoperson: It's raining in NY and I have Miles Davis - Kind of Blue on. I have this CD "permanently attached" to BS9000 I'm listening to Wynton Marsalis' Standard Time, Vol. 3. I love this album, it's so flowing. Miles D…
My first B&O product: Beovox MC120.2
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 21, 2008 00:06I have no problem with vintage products, which is why I got the MC120.2s. I actually want to get a new receiver with DTS. I have a whole lot of DTS music that I'd like to listen to in full surround.
My first B&O product: Beovox MC120.2
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 20, 2008 07:41I actually think it might be something to do with my amp. It has always made speakers sound like they were a bit lacking in the bass area. I got my MC120.2s and plugged them into my dad's high end 1982 Sony amp, and they…
Biometric (fingerprint) door locks?
in LifeStyle Discussion · May 19, 2008 07:25I'm not sure that biometric locks are ready for the consumer market yet. The ones that are available are kind of crap, and don't work very well. If you want keyless entry, I'd go for a coded lock. Tried and tested techno…
My first B&O product: Beovox MC120.2
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 18, 2008 03:44Well, there was still plenty of bass, but I still wanted to pump it up slightly. I think the sound is really excellent, though. I think the best indication of how good the speakers are is how they sound very, very loud, …
My first B&O product: Beovox MC120.2
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 18, 2008 03:31Well, I finally got my pair of MC120.2s that I asked about a while back. Got them yesterday. I can only say that I'm really happy with them. They sound great flat, and when I run them through an equalizer, they sound eve…
Headphone & Airport Express!
in Beo-Mac · May 9, 2008 02:14Having dongles hanging off your iPod kind of defeats the purpose of a portable music player, though. Would it really significantly lower the battery life to channel a bit more power to headphones?
Headphone & Airport Express!
in Beo-Mac · May 8, 2008 10:58Well, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 555s. Pretty good headphones, nice, clear and balanced sound. The only thing is that my iMac (Early 2006) has a really underpowered headphone jack. The sound is really tinny, and I ne…
Headphone & Airport Express!
in Beo-Mac · May 6, 2008 04:25Nice solution, I would have thought that the jack on the AE would have been a bit underpowered. Does the fact that it's streaming over a wireless network affect the quality at all?
Beovox S45, S50, S80 - Sound? Value?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 6, 2008 01:15Thanks for that clarification, Austin. Some people talking about older amps putting out 'real watts', and being more powerful per watt. Is this heat dissipation to do with the apparent difference between older and modern…
Beovox S30 speaker capacitor replacement?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 5, 2008 07:51So, Peter, does this mean that replacing the caps will make a dull high end sound brighter?
Which DIN cable?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 29, 2008 02:31I managed to snag a pair of S80s. I haven't received them yet, but I hear they only have a DIN socket. Is this correct? If so, is it the 2-pin type? Also, what gauge wire can I use with 2-pin DIN? I think I'll just buy t…
Beovox S45, S50, S80 - Sound? Value?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 27, 2008 03:27Well, guys. Thanks for your help. Not sure who's going to see this post, but I thought I'd say a few things. The bidding for the MC120.2s ends in a day, and I think I'll probably get them. In the meantime, I've been sear…
Beovox S45, S50, S80 - Sound? Value?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 26, 2008 08:35Really? I had no idea that you could run speakers on that much less power than what's specified. I suppose the specs are a maximum, not a nominal. I'm actually thinking of grabbing an Harman Kardon PM-640 amp to drive th…
Beovox S45, S50, S80 - Sound? Value?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 26, 2008 02:56How many watt per channel do you think is necessary to power the MC120.2s?
Beovox S45, S50, S80 - Sound? Value?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 25, 2008 19:40The guy has them listed as S80s, so I assumed he knew what he was talking about. The MC120.2s appear to be a step above the other two pairs. I guess I'll grab them then. I can really see myself getting obsessed with B&O …
Beovox S45, S50, S80 - Sound? Value?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 25, 2008 06:37Thanks for the replies, guys. Now I just have to work out which ones I want to get. The S45s have recently been refurbished, as have the S50s. I'm leaning towards the S45s, as I don't need anything very big, and they've …
