It's a hoax!

Thanks a lot for your response 'bayerische'. You're correct, it is available as a part and to my surprise only 20 Euros. It's quite a heavy unit with a large magnet so the price came as a pleasant surprise. I should have checked before I posted, but the blown speaker came as a bit of a shock to me. As I am about 100 km from my dealer

In another posting I have asked about distorted sound from my Beovision 3. I have now discovered that the right mid-range speaker has blown - literally! There is a tear in the cone.
