Taking up my old thread here 🙂

2 years ago, I did manage to refoam the CX100 speakers and the sound was perfect for the kitchen.

However, since a couple of weeks I don’t manage to get any sound to the CX100 speakers anymore. I’m trying to analyze what the issue might be, but I don’t know the system well enough to deduct the possibilities of root causes properly.

• The CX100 speakers themselves: seems unlikely, as I’d expect at least 1 of the 2 to still function
• The remote control: we tried using the remote control of the living room as well (which functions on the BS9000)
• The BS9000: works properly, gives music in the living room
• The connection between the BS9000 and the CS100? This is my blind spot.
• Other possibilities to try out?

Thanks in advance!

I had a suspicion that could be the case, as they really sound nothing like B&O at all. I’ll have a look at the youtube ‘refoam’ videos, open them up and see if that might be the case.

Thanks again!

Thanks guys!

A B&O core costs around 900€.. I think I’ll stick with the BS9000 with my chromecast attached to it :-).

In the meanwhile I’ve been thinking of upgrading the CX100’s in the kitchen. Is there a way to connect non-B&O speakers instead of the CX100’s? Because they sound… very, very thin/metally in comparison to the Beolab’s.

Thanks for the help MM, appreciate all knowledge in yhis B&O world :-).

Good news as well, I´be connected a chromecast to the BS9000 av out. It works like a charm and the sound is outstanding! I have Boston Acoustics as well and despite being happy with those,  they don´t have the warmth of the B&O.

If possible, I´d like to eliminate the BS9000 and connect the chromecast (with a more simple device in between if necessary) directly to the speakers. Can this be done?

Hi Millemissen,

Thanks for your input, really appreciate the help in discovering the B&O ecosystem.

I´m still not sure what the beolab passives do?

There´s indeed no IR eye in the living Room near the 9000 master system, counted 1 too many :).

The cd player seems to work fine, tomorrow I´ll try to find an actual cd to hear the music. I´ll also order a 5 din cable to Jack, to try and connect an aux device.

Keep you posted!

Ps: would you know what this setup would still be worth today, approx?
