BeoVox MS150, 8" and 10" drivers bad in both cabinets
in North America · Oct 12, 2010 09:52I just found some original stands that are near me. However, they are called S-75 stands, are these the same ones used in the MS150's? Thanks

in North America · Oct 4, 2010 18:43Thanks for the tips. No, I don't have the manual but would love one. I think once the stands are complete they will be about 8" off the floor (I hope that is high enough, I tried to guess the dimensions just by looking a…

in North America · Oct 4, 2010 16:09I don't have the ports blocked, I made temporary "feet" out of 4X4 blocks that the enclosures are just sitting on. They are standing about 4" off the floor. I found some pics of the original stands and just guessed at th…

in North America · Oct 4, 2010 11:22Great news, the speakers are complete and operational! After I re-set the windings and glued the former to the dome I tested it and it sounded great. Finally, after about 11 years of having these they are complete. They …

in North America · Oct 3, 2010 12:52I'm in the US, Minnesota. I figured I mine as well try to fix the coil myself since I really have nothing to lose. So, I placed the voice coil wires back in place the best I could and used Helmsman Spar Urethane (think o…

in North America · Oct 2, 2010 11:05I was able to fix the one that was "buzzing". The guy at the repair shop had to make little jumpers because the voice coil magnet wire broke off the terminals when he was disassembling. Turns out that one side wasn't sol…

in North America · Oct 1, 2010 14:01Finally got a call from the repair shop and more bad news...One of the phase links had a bad voice coil (wasn't blown but the wires were coming undone off the former). The other one he re-assembled but it buzzes. Where d…

in North America · Sept 25, 2010 20:28Another update...I replaced the European connectors with gold plated binding posts and ran new wire from those to the crossover (the original wire seemed very undersized).

in North America · Sept 24, 2010 09:09I haven't heard anything from the shop about the phase links yet. However, yesterday I spent time re-mounting the 8's and feel a lot better now. I ended up cutting the tube like Jon suggested (I'm still curious how B&O m…

in North America · Sept 20, 2010 18:15Good news everyone. Finally got a chance to take those phase links apart and the coil was sitting by itself when I took the dome off. Unfortunately the magnet wires broke off at the terminal but that shouldn't be a huge …

in North America · Sept 13, 2010 17:50Awesome, sounds easy. More bad news...the water heater in my house went out today. Spent $600 so far and haven't even started putting it in yet...ouch! It may be a few days before I can try taking those apart, I'm swampe…

in North America · Sept 13, 2010 08:29Step1, if you get your new HDD soon, pics would be appreciated. Jon, I am bummed, I made sure to ohm out the phase link and super tweeter before I spent the money on the 8's and 10's and they all read good. The coils mus…
BeoVox MS150, 8" and 10" drivers bad in both cabinets
in North America · Sept 9, 2010 12:46They are easy to disassemble? Does the magnet bolt onto the frame or something? If they are easy to take apart and it is just a loose voice coil then they should be able to be fixed. Do you have a basic procedure to disa…
BeoVox MS150, 8" and 10" drivers bad in both cabinets
in North America · Sept 8, 2010 14:08They are the MS150's. The dome is clear, not black like the 150.2's had.

in North America · Sept 7, 2010 20:08Well, it is bad phase link drivers. I hooked up a full range driver to that output on the crossover and it worked. I then tried playing the phase link units really quiet by themselves and it just makes a repetitive stati…

in North America · Sept 7, 2010 14:06I checked all traces on the circuit board. I will look for cold solder joints and will check the resistors and inductors. It's odd that both cabinets are doing it. Thanks

BeoVox MS150, 8" and 10" drivers bad in both cabinets
in North America · Sept 3, 2010 19:57I checked one and it is fine! Got a clean reading of 6.8 ohms, huge relief, I’m sure the other one is fine too. I also checked the crossover’s traces for continuity and all is good. At this point I wonder if I should jus…

in North America · Sept 3, 2010 16:06I'm nervous/pissed...I have a good Fluke DMM that has capacitance. I hope it is in the X-over!
BeoVox MS150, 8" and 10" drivers bad in both cabinets
in North America · Sept 3, 2010 08:17Got both cabinets complete, still not really confident about the 8's mounting, powered them up and bad news...the big dome "phase-link units" aren't working in either cabinet. I really hope it is something simple, I'm al…
