[quote user="majand"] These looks pretty much the same as Salora Orthoperspecta's center speaker from the 70's. Maybe the same make. Pekka [/quote] Terve Pekka They are not the same, at that time Salora made its own speakers (and obviously Sonab too). The Ortoperspekta center speakers were full range and otherwise rather conventional

[quote user="wonderfulelectric"] Also bypassing an analogue volume control with a digital volume control that has a higher res than the playback material will be immediately superior.However, since the volume control is in the signal path of the Beolab 5s anyway, I guess there wouldn't be any difference.

Previous reliabilty issues with other Beocoms pushed us further away. [/quote] Ooh yes, forgot that as I don't have a land line (and soon nobody else in Finland will have one either

@MartinM, there are actually few caps on the tuner board that have any effect on the audio (maybe half a dozen), so that is a quick job! Regarding static electricity or ESD, the most sensitive devices are digital ICs and MOSFET transistors. Early MOS technology ICs (from the 70s onward) didn't have very elaborate internal protection, and some of

I've noticed that it takes a while to learn away from coloured sound, be it caused by unnatural tone control settings or the equipment itself... so yes, I believe that you had just ruined your perception with the Arcams Anyway, good to hear you're happy after all the work!

I don't think Sonab ever made elements either, so I don't think there's any truth behind this. I won't bet on it though, the original drivers in Beomaster 900K for example were made in Sweden. And yes Andreas, B&O made drivers as well, already before any one of us was born Anyway, many of Sonab's Carlsson era speakers were quite

I actually got rid of practically all my alien stuff, but some remains... from those that actually could be replaced by B&O items to the other assorted crap...: Jamo Graphic wall speakers (and they will stay, as they sound brilliant and look the part too - and had magnetic replaceable cloth covers years before BV10) A tournedos-branded HDR (based

That'll blend well with those propane powered terrace heaters.
