Hi guy’s,I’m brand new to site.I’m a retired TV engineer/audio engineer.I’ve taken to collecting amplifiers,speakers from the 70’s when I was an apprentice.I have juast aquired a very nice B&O
3000/11 tuner amp in working order but will get a revamp this winter.My latest toy a pair of Rosewood Beovox 3800 speakers,which I understand were UK only market something to do with tax back in the 70s.They use a Philips tweeter,Goodmans mid & large bass woofer.Sadly my mids are toast one reads about one ohm & no sound,the other 5.5 ohm,working but off center or loose speech coil distorts on certain sounds.Across the chassis they measure around 3.5″.Can anyone recommend a replacement driver for my gran old ladies?Many thanks John.13 May 2024 at 12:26 #55575Always tricky looking for a good match – would probably try getting fixed (? Wilmslow) or find the same driver second hand – v difficult! I have a pair of S45.2 on stands which you could certainly have on long term loan whilst waiting for either repair or replacement. I live in North of England.
Not used in a while and under a bed but will look and make sure they are working – in Greece for 2 weeks but if interested let me know. The 3ooo is a good receiver – I have had most in my time but gave my collection away some time ago – still have a 4401 which a friend gave me. Older B&O was my passion for a while – the newer kit less so.
Best Wishes
Peter
