CD Not Playing on Beosound 9000
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 5, 2013 21:22[quote user="joeyboygolf"] One more time........it can't be done on the cheap. Your only option is to buy a kit specific to your 9000's serial number direct from B&O service. If you don't want to pay you should not have …

Penta 3 opinions?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 24, 2013 16:18Interesting on the different midrange drivers of the Penta III's..... The one's that I just looked at were gray colored for sure. She was asking $1,200.00 US for those so I opted for the BL 8000's at $900.00. However, he…
Penta 3 opinions?

Beolab 3 Shutdown
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 6, 2013 04:46[quote user="Michael"]Thanks for the suggestion. As the speaker is practically new I'd be reluctant to replace anything myself at this stage :) [/quote]Hi Michael: I agree! Are your BeoLab 3's still under warranty? If so…
Beolab 3 Shutdown
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 6, 2013 04:34[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="Michael"] If you decide to go ahead and replace the chassis yourself, do be careful on reassembly in that you do not strip any of the screw insertion points in the case. [/quote] I woul…
