Review: sellers of loudspeaker foam rings
in The Workbench · Feb 26, 2012 15:43I agree that the best way to go is to shim, I just believe in some instances, using a battery is an acceptable alternative.
Review: sellers of loudspeaker foam rings
in The Workbench · Feb 26, 2012 15:41Soren - I also found that no matter how clean I thought I had the speakers, on at least two of them I had some left over old adhesive that rolled down the face of the cone as I was gluing the rings in place. I would have…
Review: sellers of loudspeaker foam rings
in The Workbench · Feb 26, 2012 09:31I think it comes down to this - at least with smaller woofers - with a battery and careful clamping you could be right with the placement. With shims, you know you're right. I'm a lazy SOB, but I'm careful, so I used the…

The Audiophile & B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 26, 2012 08:49I think this is one of the best things about B&O - the sound quality is superb, the user interface excellent, and the build quality outstanding. I really don't feel the need to 'tweak' anything in an attempt to make impr…
The Audiophile & B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2012 18:31Like others, I owned some audiophile equipment before moving to B&O. I had some H.H. Scott, Fisher, McIntosh, and Dynaco tube amps, a Lexicon Processor, VTL Maximal Preamp, but all I've kept are my Vandersteen 2Ci speake…
Refoaming Beovox CX50 and CX100
in The Workbench · Feb 20, 2012 12:26That makes sense. I guess I've just been lucky up until now, however I have used shims on larger diameter speakers in the past. I should always use shims to be safe.
Refoaming Beovox CX50 and CX100
in The Workbench · Feb 20, 2012 07:48I am refoaming three CX100s this week. I really had a tough time getting the old adhesive off the frames. The cones were not too hard to clean off this time. Now I'm at the point of deciding to use the battery method or …
Beovox RL 140's
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 13, 2012 19:57Only the woofers suffer from foam rot. The midrange has a rubber surround. The I was able to refoam my pair without issue. Rather inexpensic

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 6, 2012 19:43I just bought a pair of teak S-45.2 speakers with stands in very nice condition. I also bought a set of 3 CX-100 speakers that need a re-foam. I plan to use tham as the LCR speakers in my bedroom home theater, with my CX…

Beovox m70 woofer change
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 8, 2012 21:34It's possible the one with a larger dust cap had been repaired and a new, larger dust cap installed. If you gently press on the speaker cones do you hear of feel any scraping sound? If so, there is some damage to the spe…

Best B&O system
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 3, 2012 20:00I'm thrilled with my BS5000 since I have all passive speaker systems. I find the sound quality of the BM5000 to be very similar to my BeoCenter 3500. My preference is the 5000 due to the flexibility of datalink and the e…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 13, 2011 21:24I found this old post because I'm trying to find an old code convertor too. I was trying to find any identification numbers for it to help in my searches. I can tell you it is possible to program a Harmony remote to cont…

Beomaster 5000 as Preamp
in North America · Dec 12, 2011 19:45After reviewing the service manual, there seems to be more than just a plug lead involved. A portion of a shared chip (IC3) is in use to drive the preamp output, but it seems unlikely the chip would be bad since it seems…
