Nice Leica! C-LUX3?

Well, you have already passed the first phase! You know you like the "looks" of the "stack" systems -so concentrate on them. As much as I like the 5000... the later ones offer much more future proofing w/ Powerlink sockets for active speakers. On a budget... you can certainly piece this together, though it may be initially cheaper

Welcome to BeoWorld! With your requirements... the first place I would look -the "stack" systems. 5000 -or - 5500/6500/7000 These are available as separates and you can piece the kit together as you like. The 5000 gear is very nice, but limited to older control code and runs passive speakers. People seem to really like the 6500 . SPK: Redline

Welcome to BeoWorld! On the surface -sounds like belts... pretty typical. Member: Dillen has belt kits available... you can try PM'ing him -or he'll likely be along before too long.

[quote user="evman140"] So I coud use that if I had not destroyed the end on my terk! So the terk end is one that is sized the same as coax? [/quote] Correct on both...

[quote user="®"]or[/quote] Would you believe I was this >< close to posting the same pic! BTW, the speakers are a lot bigger than I thought!

This is what you need... phone pic, sowwy!

I will be happy to post a pic... Don't bother w/ the Shack yet. In fact, why not just source the correct one if you have to repair it anyway? Perhaps my adaptor could simply replace what you broke -and you are good to go. In the meantime... take Mika's advice -you'll have to split it up anyway for the repair!

[quote user="evman140"]Initially I broke off two of the flowered bits, and eventually all hahaha. So now there is a shortened collar with a jagged edge. Un-returnable I suppose![/quote] Well, this could prove to be an issue! 1.) The connector/adapter that I could provide won't socket w/o the petals. 2.) W/O the petals how would external

[quote user="evman140"]There is pin in the middle, with a flowering collar/sleeve and a ring that goes around the collar to keep it from expanding.[/quote] OK... that was what I was expecting. I will dig throught this evening and try to find one... near certain I have a few! P.S. What did you break?
