After spending most of a Weekend searching for suitable replacements I ended up with these from Maplin's. 30 Watt Shielded Speaker This shows the size difference to the original. Original and new speakers. Craig

Recently I needed to replace the speakers on an MX5500. As I could not get any original ones, I modified some from Maplin's. Last night I did another, this time I took some photos of my handywork.

Craig [/quote] Some years ago, this might have fallen to the "embarrasing essentials" category, but today I will simply call Duran Duran brilliant pop. I recently had to get the "Greatest Hits" CD for this purpose, since Rio wasn't quite as readily

[quote user="Dave"] To my knowledge those settings are calibrated to a standard and compenate for any differences / innaccuracies that the parts and hardware of the television may cause (most have unique values)... i know this is the case with the speaker calibration in the beolabs... [/quote] Agree with Dave, I believe they are different
