That seems to be correct. They now just have a power indicator - it is no longer a button.

Just had a look at the service manual for the Pentas - which type are yours? I guess mk1. Having looked at the manual, I doubt it is easily repairable. Ridax does make some displays that fit and indeed give even more information. They are not available new I am afraid. The CX parts are though and not expensive - your dealer should be able to help.

I have done a bit of pruning of this thread as things were said which I think were uncalled for.

The service manuals are all available for silver and gold members. They are on the main site. however before you decide to join, maybe we can offer some free advice. The Penta is quite tricky to service and you may not find the service manual that helpful! What seems to be the problem? Are you skilled electronically?

Actually having compared Pentas and a BL2 against M100s, which have 12" woofers, the BL2 sounded quite overblown with all music. Before doing this, I had not really noticed as I think one gets used to different sound types, but in direct comparison, the bass of the M100s was far more detailed and taut. I therefore think that the performance of

No problem. The 1900 will deal with these happily. Speakers don't really have fixed impedances but vary across the frequency range. The lower the impedance, the more difficult they are to drive but the 1900 can deal with most perfectly well.

Or maybe Atlantic Systems?

Good question!! I would guess video! Not mentioned in the manual!

They are superb small speakers and , yes, I can listen to them for hours - I am as I type!! Mine are in a room about 15 foot square but I use them as monitors on either side of my computer screen. When I first used them, they sounded a little odd - the treble and bass seemed disjointed and they seemed bright. However after a couple of days, this has

They are very accurate speakers - the top end is far superior to Pentas . They lack the warmth of the Pentas as the frequency response lacks the artificial bulge seen in both the Penta and indeed the 5000 which make these speakers less tiring to listen to. I think 1s are actually very much maligned and if they were not so tall, I would consider a pair
