in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 8, 2020 11:47thanks guys. Sorry for late reply, I had some internet issues (and even no mobile internet, imagine ...) I connected the BL8000 & BL2 to the Beovision, so all speakers are connected there. Then I put the BS9000 in option…

Beolab 2 refurbished : polished :)
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 28, 2020 17:00Thank you I tried to keep them, but it was too difficult, so they went away. The idea is to put small printed "Bang & Olufsen" letters on it, I need to look where I can find someone who can.
Beolab 2 refurbished : polished :)
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 28, 2020 16:36Thank you :) It took me a good 20 hours of sanding, by hand. The hardest part is the 80 grit, the finer the grit, the easier it goes, and wet sanding is pretty satisfying, as you can see some shine coming through. For th…

Beolab 2 refurbished : polished :)
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2020 18:30Thank you for your replies, I had a look : they all look pretty, one more special than the other one ;) I cam across a painted one in “chrome”, like polished (resembles the BL8000 shiny housing), looked nice too ! Imagin…

in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 17, 2020 16:14Hi all, I only recently (finally !) acquired some B&O equipment, of which one is a Beolab 2 with some “battle scars”. I found a service manual, so dismantling should not be any issue, and the idea is to refurbish the hou…
Beolab 18 Wooden Grills on Beolab 8000 Speakers
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 13, 2020 20:39Looks beautiful, yo're lucky to get a real set of 18's frets ;) I saw online that you can buy aftermarket sets for Beolab 8000, based on the Beolab 18's look, but they seem rather expensive (for what it is), I was thinki…

Newbie : how to connect Beocenter 9300 to Beovision 7-55 ?
