This should give you a good idea of the construction, the drivers and crossover will of course be different. And yes, you really need to dismantle most of the speaker to see the drivers - the grille/fret itself will be about the last thing to come off, as the whole speaker is constructed on it!

The RIAA amplification is a side effect of the CD-4 decoder and it does that all the time, even for pure stereo playback. As said, if you don't get line level signals out of your turntable, the decoder board option is not there - the switch may still be present, and does nothing in that case. Actual CD-4 detection and decoding is automatic. The

I've seen that set you're referring to a couple of times on German eBay. I was actually planning to buy a set, just for the music, but the price got above 100 euros as I recall...

You're right - sometimes really old versions can come up from the cache, especially if you have been following "latest post" links before, and never the "clean" url without the #2739472 or whatever anchor in the end. Another thing that seems problematic is editing your old posts multiple times - sometimes you get a really old

I had a Beocenter 2800 (one of my first pieces of B&O kit), which is essentially a Beomaster 1500 with a turntable.
