Hey guys, I'm selling an MCL 2A X-TRA speaker kit on ebay, and a seller just asked me whether it's compatible with his beocenter 7700. I know the beocenter 7700 was meant to be used with the older MCL version, but I didn't know whether the MCL 2A version was backwards compatible with it. Anyone know? (well, stupid question, I'm sure

Alex: Multiple tweeters are not beneficial, and the same goes for multiple midrange drivers. If anything, you make the sound worse by using multiple drivers if you listen on varying vertical axis. Sound from each driver will overlap and you'll get destructive and constructive interference leading to comb filtering and phasing issues. The only way

Alternately, if you don't mind spending that kind of money, you may want to consider amps using Hypex class-D modules, as many class-D amp builders consider them to be better than the B&O Ice modules. These Channel Islands use hypex modules, and at $2300 a pair, are in the same price range as the ones you were looking at: http://www.positive

They look good, but quite a few of the features they advertise actually won't make a difference even though they look really fancy. It looks like a case of a manufacturer putting oem boards into a nice enclosure with expensive looking features and then charging a big price. If I recall Die Bogener bought some class D amps from somewhere else that

Alex: Just because a speaker's specs are the same to another doesn't mean they will sound the same. CX100s are great little speakers but they are by no means a match for the 8000s. Hi Alex. I wasn't saying that the 8000's and the cx100's sound the same, or that they have the same specs. Their specs are very different and the sound

Hey Steve. I think the Pentas are indeed better sounding than the 8000's. Remember, the Pentas and the 8000's were sold side-by-side for over 5 years, with the Penta being sold as the top of the line speaker, and the 8000 being sold as the 2nd best. It's only because the 8000's are still in production that their value is more than the

Maybe you are the only member online Craig... Maybe I'm not really here at all... Maybe this is the end of Beoworld... And you Craig, are the last one standing amidst the ruins.... And in the awful silence you realize this is but a remnant of the Beoworld you once knew...

Happy Birthday Peter! Even though you guys are about 100 years older than I am and on the other side of the world I still wish sometimes I'd get a chance to hang out with you! Austin

Hey Steve, I'd probably just look out for a used CD5500. Most agree it's a better deck, and it will still match the look of your system perfectly. By the way, it seems like you've posted problems for many of your components. Does your system as a whole work? Austin

2200 Euros? Pentas and a stack system (6500 or 7000) or beocenter. My Pentas, 4500 system, and 6500 system all cost me less than 2200 Euros combined. Austin
