Hi there, Well the foam surrounds are absolutely original! They can handle a lot of power, the cones hardly move even when fed hard with lots of bass at high volume! I do plan to send them over to Martin/Dillen, but the shipping costs are very, very high in France (100€ with return). This is annoying on ebay because the foreign buyers tend to think

Hello, Every Beogram 6006/8000 I've seen seems to have their lids cracked along their left edges. That's not especially annoying but if you look close enough... you see what I mean. Any fixes? My local perspex (plexiglass in France) specialist says it is, but I'm afraid he would damage the poor thing! Apparently, he introduces a product

Thank you Jon for your learned lecture. I did a Google search on John Kreskovsky which indeed returned fascinating articles. I remember building such speakers in my teens, admittedly not knowing exactly what I was doing... I want to make these speakers sing and I'm pretty sure they will. Let's hope Martin's cap kit will lift that veil that

Hi, [quote user="Step1"] Hi Jon you sound quite knowlegable with these speakers, I would like to know a little more about the uniphase concept myself if you wouldn't mind spending a moment... Am I right in thinking B&O took a rather unpopular approach to three way speaker design? [/quote] I would also be interested. Would anyone be

Hey Jon, Well a strange phenomenon occured... After a few hours listening to this dreadful sound from the MC120.2, the sound seems to have improved a bit somehow. I think the dielectric in those electrolytic capacitors is the problem. The caps seem to "reform" somehow while electricity passes through them... is that possible? I still refuse

Hello, I have now ordered the cap kit, so I shall keep you informed of the results. As far as bass is concerned, I placed them right against the back wall and this restored some bass. Maybe that is what B&O intended their customers to do, I don't know. Every other speaker I've owned would produced too much upper bass in a situation like

So, I'm sorry. It wasn't sarcasm but admiration... We all look up to Men of the Art, don't we? Anyway, refoaming is a very scary business to me. I know some have had success. I used to repair loudspeaker units when I was an impoverished student. I took them from the tip or the local repair guy and built cabinets and crossovers! So I know

[quote user="Step1"] Could this be the reason why they changed to a doped cloth material in later speakers? [/quote] Mine are cloth domes! Jacques

Well I don't know what you use in Denmark Martin, but the vinyl glue we use here keeps a certain degree of flexibility too, even after years. You can actually see that on old pots where some glue leaked onto the jar... It peels off easily and it is indeed supple. I also use it to peel off debris on dirty Lp's! Martin, it doesn't mean I wont
