Refoaming Beovox S80
in The Workbench · Feb 20, 2012 22:19Hi Leslie, Would you tell us how you liked the fit of the foam surrounds, and which supplier are they from? I haven't found very many places to get surrounds for these odd sized woofers, and fit can be a problem. I'm a s…
Refoaming Beovox CX50 and CX100
in The Workbench · Nov 20, 2011 23:18Hi All, I hope it's OK to revive this thread with some additional perspective. I just completed a re-do on one of my C75's woofers. It was rubbing after a refoaming job. (confirmed with the low Hz test tone), so I "faced…

S80.2 speaker repair
in The Workbench · Sept 16, 2011 11:15Hi Chris, Well, it's not cheapie vinyl at all. It's tough. It stretches and deforms when pulling it off with heat. Definitely not a melamine type thing. I don't know how these got messed up like they did. All the corners…

S80.2 speaker repair
in The Workbench · Sept 16, 2011 09:17Hi Mika, I now have this nice lady's whole B&O system she puchased new in Copenhagen in '83. She had these speakers buried in storage before and has now given them to me simply because I bought the beocenter and C75's an…

S80.2 speaker repair
in The Workbench · Sept 14, 2011 11:30I'd like to hear opinions, please, about foam vs. rubber surrounds for the S80.2 woofers. I stayed with foam rings on my C75's, but good_hifi says that rubber surrounds were used with this speaker by other makers. Rubber…
Beovox C-75 recap
in The Workbench · Jun 29, 2011 10:45Thanks for the advice, and the nice welcome. I'll track down a replacement electrolytic here in town, then. These speakers still sound nice after 28 years. I'm listening to them in a medium sized room with a couple of ei…
Beovox C-75 recap
in The Workbench · Jun 26, 2011 14:09Hello, First post here. I'd like to ask about replacing the crossover caps in this speaker. These were purchased new by the PO in Denmark in '83. The top and bottom drivers are not tilted like I've read about. All four h…
