[quote user="Evan"] So, with this new white obsession of mine, I've started to get a little more detailed... Custom white audio cables. Once I get back inside of these pieces for the recap, I'll be adding white power cor…

[quote user="egoh"] maybe another pair for another room? :) [/quote] No kidding. Since I saw how good these look and heard how good they sound (IMHO better than my Beolab 6000s) I have been scouting for another pair for …

[quote user="egoh"] BTW, brillant idea to refinish the copper with the veneer! [/quote] This copper decoration is "Peel-N-Stick". It has a durable plastic layer on top of it to prevent the actual copper strip from oxidzi…

EGoh, Beautiful work on those Pentas! Daeng! The black cloth with the "New" black bases look fantastic! The elimination of the lips on the skins would have saved me BIG $$$. Instead I ordered the skins from B&O and repla…

Egoh - The adapter that I bought from B&O is affordable! You get LH and RH adapter in a box for ~US$38. They use the regular PL cables ~3mm in diameter. I hid mine under the baseboards and only show the connector. The RH…

Thanks for the feedback, I' check the caps and resistors before I send it away. I decided to buy the skins from B&O since nobody promised they could do the 0.088" inside lips for the skins. Buying the gear (leaf brake) t…

Thanks for the pointers. I guess I could try to heat the glas panels with a heat gun to soften the double sided tape? Would this make it easier to pull them of? Anybody tried this? Would heating the glas actually re-soft…

I just "upgraded"/replaced my B&O Beocenter 7002 with a complete Beosystem 4500. It looks pristine in my retro lounge, but not exquisite! I NEED IT TO HANG ON THE WALL! Hence I'm looking for Beosystem 4500 wall mounts or…
