Any chance we could run this competition again Lee? I'll be up all night tonight since I have an exam tomorrow, and I wouldn't mind at least being able to get a pair of A8's out of the misery Austin

Wow, really happy to hear you got it sorted out!

Nice deal. I got my beosystem 4500 plus a pair of cx100's for $500 US, so they were practically free also. But the foam needed replacing. Only took me a couple hours though. Btw, in regards to the scratches, on the black cx's they can be touched up with flat black automotive paint. The scratch will still be deeper than the rest of the surface

Great news Mika! I'll ask my local dealer and if they can't get the pair for me I'll take up your offer! Thanks, Austin

Photobucket.com also allows posting of pictures directly in forums, so you don't need to click. In fact they even make it easier for you by putting the forum picture tags on either end of the address of each picture so you can just copy the line into the forum and the picture will show up.

Hey Mika, I actually have the exact same problem. In fact I actually bought an mcp 5500 thinking I could swap the hinges. Little did I know the attachment to the door was different.

Oh, the seller just emailed me back after I asked him to check the base and he told me it says 6623, so it looks like they're penta 2's. He had only said "Penta" before, and since it was being sold with a beocenter 9000 I figured they were Penta 1's since the 9000 was from the late 80's. Austin

Lee as much as I love this site, the search system really bothers me. Most forums let you display the actual threads in your search results, rather than every single post within the thread that matches your search string. Sometimes when I search for something I'll get 12 pages of results even if there are far fewer threads, just because all the

AH! Yes! I forgot that Penta 1 still has RCA input. You're right, having powerlink split into RCA + only the info part of speaker link would let me connect the line level directly to the speaker.

Frank if you didn't use speakerlink on the Penta 1's were you using an external amp? Here's the ridax site. He's also a member here, with the same name. He used to have a picture with the display mounted in the penta but I can't find it anymore. http://home.swipnet.se/ridax/display.htm
