Hey Everybody,

Here at the North Dublin Bang & Olufsen's Enclave And Studio Musuem Center of Appreciation you join myself and Evan. I know Evan as former co-worker and the one thing we only thought we had in common was watches until one day Evan in conversation  says somth'n about B & O and I say to him "come again chap?" and he has this Gator Grin Like You Gotta Be Kidd'n Me neither one of us new anyone in North America let alone at the same job. So guys I'm a novice's novice in all things B & O I feel like I know many of you through Evan's posts. Evan Saved me from a HORRIFIC VENTURE Into the world of Bose!!!! There's More too Tell but you knw Evman140 he's  on me too get this post done so we can bust a move w/ this project.

With the help of my friend Evan, I will soon be listening to my first pair of Bang & Olufsen speakers, a pair of RL60.2s!! How great is that?!

Working on the speakers will be a side by side effort, for the benefit of learning how to refurb my first pair of speakers.

Evan tells me we will be replacing things like capacitors (whatever those may be), fret cloth and doing a repaint on the stands.

I have been wanting to do this project for quite some time now, let's get started!!!

Welcome to Beoworld, Todd.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're in big, big trouble.  There is no cure for the Beovirus.

Let's start a pool.  I give Todd 4 months before he has a full Beosystem 5500 or similar.

3 months and he will start looking for for BM 4400 and a pair of S45-2 for Ambio, How is that Todd

I see water in the pic, I've found it absolutely necessary to use Rum and Coke for first time listening, it helps when fuses start blowing and smoke starts showing, and keeps your celebrating shouts at level when everything works out of the box.Drinks

Doing refurb I recommend black coffee and cigaretsCoffee

How can anyone even consider wasting S45-2s on ambio?
