I like a project like this, the Penta is really a fantastic speaker and these suggested improvements are really something you can hear. I have a suggestion to take the upgrading even further. Coating the cones of the speakers will have a good effect on the sound. Also the individual speaker will perform a wider frequency response, leading to a total

[quote user="j0hnbarker"] BL 5000 came with the Thorens BG3000 when new, didn't it?? [/quote] Beolab 5000 was released in the shops in 1967.

[quote user="yachadm"] Frede That's a great idea to keep them as original as possible. with the sockets. Remember you can get the 3mm LED's, which will fit in those sockets quite nicely, once you have removed the original incandescent lamp.
