[quote user="Jon"] [quote user="arned"] Beovox MS150 has - like the other speakers in this serie - an effective overload protection if they get "to much", - so dont worry. With these loudspeakers I would go for the Beomaster 6000 with 2 x 75 W (IHF). In different test at the time in 1981/82 it was in many ways better than

[quote user="DKAudio"] Are the MS150's pretty power hungery? I'm looking at a Rotel RA972 for powering them, it only does 60WPC but has a large toroidal transformer. You can dowload the maual here for more information... [/quote] Yes. You need one of these instead.

[quote user="Friedmett"] Not rated: Beovox X35 why was this invented? [/quote] Good question!!!

[quote user="burantek"] [quote user="j0hnbarker"]EDIT: BTW - that 150w amp you're looking for should be a Beomaster 8000 (the original partner for the MS150.2s)![/quote] I was waiting for that from you, j0hn! [/quote] You know I love this amp Jeff!! :)

Just to help with locating the costs either way here: My replacement 8" Peerless woofers were approx £100 inc. shipping here in the UK. They really are lovely units too :) EDIT: BTW - that 150w amp you're looking for should be a Beomaster 8000 (the original partner for the MS150.2s)!

Just to add my twopenneth worth to the debate here: A couple of years ago I was given some cosmetically mint MC120.2s, but both woofers needed refoaming and one of the voice coils was dead. I was faced with the choice of tracking down another woofer to refoam along with my 'good' one, or simply replacing the woofers with brand new Peerless replacements

I have Beovox Pentas, MC120.2s, CX50s, Beovox 1000s and a Cona. I'd say the Pentas and MC120.2s would be in my top 5. The 120.2s are awesome speakers for their relatively small size!

[quote user="tournedos"] As localized information, this is probably not helpful to you John, but I have to tell that these were the teenager's car of choice over here some years ago! Replace the exhaust with a 110 mm sewage pipe, wear a baseball cap and go belly up in the ditch during the winter, if not sooner. Nowadays they're all

I do like the 190Es Lee, but they're a bit bigger than the 2 door E30 and that might be a defining factor. Is the 2.6 version the one with the Cosworth engine??

That's great advice Lee - thank you :) There's an '89 325i Auto on eBay at the moment, with a genuine 44,000 miles and full main dealer service history, but unfortunately I'm not in the market really until the other side of Christmas. A real shame as this one is a beauty and only about 50 miles away from me. Oh well...I do hope some
