Beovox P45 tweeter issue?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 26, 2020 19:17Hi Søren, this is an older thread but I was wondering if you could give some pointers for swapping the tweeters? I found another pair that I would like to exchange for the ones I currently have in my P45. The new pair is…
Beovox P45 tweeter issue?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 3, 2019 18:57There's plenty of threads on P45 woofers, but I seem to have run into an issue with a tweeter... I noticed one of my P45's sounds a bit weaker. Measured with a tablet app it plays 1-2 db lower on average. In addition the…
How to tell all drivers are original on Beovox MC120.2?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 22, 2019 20:01Yes, precisely, that's the look I am familiar with - that probably means it is safer to pass on the ones I posted. Thanks!

How to tell all drivers are original on Beovox MC120.2?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jan 22, 2019 07:02I'm resurrecting this old thread since I am looking at a particular pair of Beovox MC120.2, but not everything looks 100% certain: - the cap on the woofer is shiny, has a similar texture as the midrange/phase link driver…
Beomaster 3400 - sudden hum from the speakers
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 22, 2018 18:19Thanks for the support, Martin. I know what you're suggesting is the proper way to do it, but it will require some patience and a skilled tech. What I can say is that I gave the previous techs the complete manual and sch…
Beomaster 3400 - sudden hum from the speakers
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 22, 2018 15:36Just an update, even though it has been a while... Shortly after I wrote the above posts about the hum the front right channel went out, so I took the Beomaster back in for service. It just came back, it took six months …
Bought some P45's - Lots of questions!
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 30, 2018 10:50The synergy between modern and vintage is not always perfect, as far as I know. I myself am using exclusively vintage equipment, so can't comment much on this. Perhaps changing the capacitors might help. Martin (Dillen) …
Bought some P45's - Lots of questions!
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 30, 2018 09:42As for the more technical issues such as capacitors, dampening foam, terminal removal you'll need to hear from the experts here, but it is strange that they sounded great at the seller's place but not at your place. I im…
How to tell all drivers are original on Beovox MC120.2?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 13, 2018 18:50I wish this would be the case, but where I live vintage B&O is primarily imported by firms/people specializing in vintage audio equipment, you cannot get it here from a long-time owner or at a yard sale, unfortunately. T…
How to tell all drivers are original on Beovox MC120.2?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 13, 2018 12:40Thanks a lot Martin! I will keep that photo as a reference. I doubt unfortunately that I'll have a chance to look at the magnet side before pulling the trigger on a purchase, so this will have to do. But it is already in…
How to tell all drivers are original on Beovox MC120.2?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 13, 2018 10:45Here is a photo of what I believe is a refoamed original, and it fits your description - does this one look correct?
How to tell all drivers are original on Beovox MC120.2?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 13, 2018 10:09Thanks Martin! What about things like diameter of the dust cap, or the material from which the cone or the dust cap is made? Are these known or specified anywhere? My S50 for instance have a soft, "porous" cone - on the …

How to tell all drivers are original on Beovox MC120.2?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jul 12, 2018 09:01I am really enjoying my Beovox S50 and was thinking of starting to look for the S120 or MC120.2. I am not in any rush and want to find a nice pair but I have seen on this forum and on some auction sites these speakers wi…
Beomaster 900M glass panel
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 30, 2018 15:18That is actually something I am puzzled with: why does the audio equipment nowadays look so uniform and boring? Of course, an analog radio dial is obsolete today, and that's half of the charm, but I am sure one could com…
Beomaster 900M glass panel
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 30, 2018 13:28Ok, so it took a while to find the time for this, but finally I did and took the panel off. It turned out that it was only some residue, probably from a deoxit-type spray, that essentially I was able to wipe off. I also …
Beovox MS150.2 efficiency
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 16, 2018 19:55Ok, here is a page from the CX100 manual that states explicitly: "Power at 96 db SPL -- 5 watts". In this case sensitivity is also stated in the usual way as 89db, and both figures, of course, agree. The part about 96db …
Beovox MS150.2 efficiency
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 16, 2018 18:36I had a similar problem and I think what this means is the following - if I am wrong I am sure one of the experts here will correct me: B&O gave efficiency in watts meaning the number of watts needed to produce 96 dB SPL…
