Foxtrott: It's 9:20 pm here in Vienna. Sitting here with a glas of red wine listening to Beethoven coming from Pentas... cool Already 22:32 in Helsinki, with some South African white wine and Telemann's Sonata in E Minor on Pentas

Armed with appropriate drinks, I'm ready to take on any amount of non-winning, as usual! Bring it on!

Measure the coil resistance with a multimeter. If it shows infinite instead of a few ohms (1-8), the coil has probably burned... But even if it is, don't despair!

I can already imagine certain environments with a wooden flat panel TV. It will take a while before anyone else tries that, but

The one in parallel with the tweeter (R6) should be 8.2 ohms / 3W, and the other in series (R5) is 1 ohm / 3W. Hope the tweeters themselves are OK - these are good speakers, and well worth repairing! Also - welcome to Beoworld, and happy holidays

timhanna: Good idea! It would quadruple the cost but hey :) I think, all they need to do to make me happy is to start the last sources of each: I.e. AUDIO = Radio, CD or N.MUSIC VIDEO = DTV or if they HAVE TO TV Light = light Of course, all this could - and should - be programmable. The user interface for that would be funky with three buttons and no

Hyvää joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta, from Finland as well! It's been great talking with you people all this year

Oh jesus christ Here are some freshly sanded Beovox 80.2's at the summer workshop.
