Easier still!

I am in Northumberland - slightly tricky to work out when I can get there as I am doing a lot of hours at the moment but I am sure I can manage sometime in the next 2 weeks.

B&O specialise in custom fitted designs - I think the dealer will not be able to help. The designs are made to fit only in certain models at this moment in time as far as I am aware.

I agree with Alex. The Beolab 5s are in a different category to all the other speakers - they just get louder with no distortion - the problem with them is you end up playing them rather louder than you imagine - woe betide the neighbours! All the other modern speakers shriek as they get to the top of the volume levels. The MS150s did this as well though

Which Beogram? The CD or the LP version? This should sell very easily - a very sought after set up. The Beogram can certainly go for £500 alone. The speakers are also very popular. I would suggest eBay for the best price.

I wonder if the iron core in one of the coils in the cross over has loosened. (I think this model has this - the S60 certainly does) To open up to check, simply remove the front grille and undo the screws around the bass unit. All the units actually come out very easily with just a screw driver. I would check for loose bits and if nothing there, I would

The figure 103 seems to ring a bell though!

To be fair, I think this only gives the sensitivity. I'll see if I can find the max sound level when I get home tonight!

Surely Nina Simone! Or if Trip has been watching the Virgin ad, Muse!

This is quite an interesting thread: a similar thread was the longest and most acrimonious on the old B&O forum, before, possibly partly because of the single thread, the forum was closed. This thread seems far more positive and although the comments are not all complimentary, there does appear to be a more constructive tone. I do agree with Moxxey
