Re-covering beolab 6000 grills
in General Discussion & Questions · May 18, 2012 15:01It's probably too late, but if you go to the store and buy some black stockings (pantyhose) it is literally the exact same material as the 6000 frets, really easy to work with, and conveniently already sized for the 6000…
On the official website, new B&O BeoPlay TV V1
in General Discussion & Questions · May 3, 2012 07:09[quote user="Evan"] Personally, I would like to see a replacement for the BeoLab 4. I am moving onto campus soon and wont have room for an 840w BeoSystem. A well executed pair of desktop/bookshelf BeoLabs would fit the b…
BeoPlay A3 iPad Dock
in General Discussion & Questions · May 3, 2012 01:32[quote user="Chris Townsend"]We all use IPads at work as we can sift through all our manuals, and infrequently when sat with bugger all to do or in our hotel we watch films on them. But lugging round a 1 kg speaker dock …
!! BeoPlayA3 !!
in General Discussion & Questions · May 3, 2012 01:23Yes! I'm not sure how I feel about it though... A loooot of cheap looking plastic. I also think its a product for a market that doesn't really exist. Why wouldn't you just get a Beosound 8 for what I would assume to be o…
Value of BeoVox Cona?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 3, 2012 01:20Evan sold his for a modest price (no offense to you Evan, but you did 😁). Realistically you could probably start at around $150-200. $300 is probably a bit high, but you might be able to pull that much if you really try…
BeoCenter 2500 sliding doors fault
in General Discussion & Questions · May 2, 2012 05:37I know if there are any fluorescent lights in the room, sometimes it can react to those. Otherwise, if you're handy, I would suggest testing the sensor with a multimeter, although it is quite difficult to get to.

in General Discussion & Questions · May 1, 2012 06:59[quote user="elephant"] so while I don't have as nice a set-up as elms I thought I would show the baby that arrived almost 3 years ago: [/quote] I'm flattered, but to be quite honest, the setup you have is nothing to lau…
Beolab 5000 Speakers
in General Discussion & Questions · May 1, 2012 05:52I believe I was considering that exact system! In the Detroit area? $400 for a set of Beolab 5000s is a steal, let alone a semi-working Beosystem to go with it. Beolab 5000s are a rare beast, and are some of the better s…
Beolab 6000 Amp Removal
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2012 23:58Unfortunately I do not have the metal bit either. I need the whole deal... I appreciate the suggestion though. I will keep him in mind should I experience particularly tough recover.
Beolab 6000 Amp Removal
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2012 22:56After looking into it a bit more, you're probably right. I bought the 6000s to flip/pay for my penta project. I likely wont bother with caps on the 6000s. Now the real question is where to get replacement frets for cheap…
Beolab 6000 Amp Removal
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2012 20:09I was hoping to do this as practice before I do a recap on my Pentas, which I have heard is worthwhile... Not necessarily to improve the 6000s (although I would assume they will benefit slightly from this).
Beolab 6000 Amp Removal
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2012 19:20I bought a set of old Beolab 6000s that are in serious need of refurbishment, but are in otherwise excellent cosmetic condition. I ordered new drivers (cones were ripped), and I want to recap the amp as well while I am a…

in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 25, 2012 17:06They are at a friends house for now (I'm trying to convince him to get into Bang and Olufsen). After that, I plan on using them as fronts again while I restore my pentas (refoam, and recap). Who knows what I will do with…
