Hey Henri your penta's look amazing !!! I am very impressed on how much these great speakers look updated !!! Just like you, I live in a very black&white kind a place with wood tones and I know exactly what you mean with obsession ..... That's it ....you convinced me... I am buying some penta's....... (only thing left is trying to convince

Hi, Would love to see pictures of your 'Penta White" project. Real speaker cloth is not that difficult to find, though the colours are quite limited. DIY speaker builders shops often carry it. (try online?) I have also been looking for metal grills to use as frets (think beosound1 or 3), but so far haven't found anything suitable yet. I

Hi Brian, Glad you like the polished CX's. Anyways, I am in Montreal so not that far up North anyways and only a couple of hours from NY. I have been planning to do these for the last 2 months or so but just never found time for it. Under the (anodized?) black finish is just plain metal.

[quote user="h1npw"] Wow!!!! Love the finish you've achieved You could almost set up a business doing up CX's!! They look better than the originals! I need to find myself an industrial belt sander...I must have half a dozen pairs in my cellar awaiting some TLC. Cheers Nigel [/quote] Hi Nigel, Send them over ..... ... I'll put up

Anyways he told me that my cx100 are not anodized, just lacquered

blu ray is here to stay in my opinion. Players are cheap now and you easily find them for 200$cad or less even and all new movies are available on blu ray. I bought mine on boxing day for 188+tx $ canadian ... a steal. Sure blu ray disks are more expensive than regular dvd's, but I don't buy any new releases the day they come out anyways. Dvd

[quote user="gk31ax"] I agree about it being a hidden product... Whilst I am sure you would do a great "Scandinavian" design on a table top version Steve, you are still going to see lots of cables running out the back of it and I need to see less cables rather than more, so if I could hide it in my existing unit (the Beosystem 2

I have one of those and absolutely hate it , though it does the job. Anyone thought of an autoswitching aux hub yet ? I have one of those for my hdmi connections and works fab.

Just have kind of the same problem connecting with my new macbook I used my old Home theater receiver that accepts hdmi in. dvi to hdmi lead -> receiver -> avant Not the best solution I know, but works perfectly fine for me ...for now ....
