It is better fixed to a narrow shelf up against the wall, something with a lip on the edge to stop it sliding off.

Sounds like a classic case of knowing too much and not being open to ideas that conflict with 'what I know for sure' I somehow don't think you are alone in this, maybe we could call it something like 'Acute Expertitis'

I think a good match for this system in the B&O range would be the Beovox 3800. I know they are differant eras and they are large than yours, but they do go together well. You could always try some P50's, never had a pair of this range of speakers, but if my Vox 1600 are anything to go by, then B&O panel speakers are pretty good when driven

The biggest mistake B&O ever made was the link system and its descendants. Whatever the technical merits, the problem is that it broke any sort of compatibility with other manufacturers, why they didn't allow for plain old analogue connection to run in parallel is not for me to comment, but as a strategic move is was pretty bad. The problem

Took me a few goes to get to 15, it was the second cabinet that I kept missing.

Its possible that one of the coils on the crossover has become detatched and broken a connection.

He has the full set, including the reel to reel. Heads on the tape recorder will need alignment, but it is a good 'un. All I want to be sure of, is that everything works fine, the input levels had been adjusted to suit other sources I was running at the time, so these will have to be matched and balanced, but its an easy enough task.

Hmm, these are probably not something I'd put in a kitchen as heat does not do the foam surrounds a lot of good, and if you mount them high up they will get a coating of cooking residues, and they are not the easiest of speakers to strip down for washing.

The Beovox 5000 - the first version with that column of tweeters. The CX100's when combined with the CONA subwoofer. Personally I've always had a soft spot for the S45-2 in Rosewood finish

You first thing should be to get the larger lumps of fluff out. If you simply blow it, you will probably get a mouthful of crap as the dust flies about, counterintuitively this is because when you blow you create a fast airflow but also a low pressure zone, similar to a ventuari effect. Result is that the dust goes into your mouth. You can buy small
