And here's a shot of the Beomaster 1900. The bass slider is noisy, and the front wood trim is splitting in two places, but other than that, it seems in decent cosmetic and electronic shape. I think I like the touch panel and lights on the 1900 better than the 2400. At least that's my initial thought. I've got the 1900 on tuner driving the

Except for the foam rot.

Just kidding. Those are my new CX50s. They are tiny . I mean, I knew they were small, but I wasn't prepared for how small they were. I guess I'm used to my S45-2s sitting on my desk now, and they don't seem so big any more. A guy threw these in for nothing last night when I bought his Beomaster 1900. They're in great shape.

Well, I went down to Radio Shack and asked their advice on improving the sound of the M70s. They suggested this pair of external tweeters.

I like the S40s so much I'm very tempted to buy the pair on Ebay for $50 that need a woofer refoam. If I wasn't falling into a free pair of CX-50s that need a woofer refoam on Thursday, I probably would without hesitation. But one project at a time I think. So I moved the M70s to the back wall and toed them in just a bit. I've played them

Nice paint! That's really quite lovely. Spray? I take it you're not going to cut off the dust caps and shim the voice coil when refoaming the woofer.

[quote user="Keiko5"] Thank you all for the warm welcome and the great advice. I'll take the 4400 off line until I can get it sorted. This is my first B&O receiver/amplifier, but I've been a B&O turntable owner since 1983 when I bought my first 4002. I had that unit for many years until I sold it a year or so ago. During that

The wife called and warned me she and the kids were on the way home, so I had about an hour to wrap it up and make the dinette a dinette again. Wanting very much to like the M70s as much as the other two pairs, I gave them another listen. This time I put them on the same "stands" as the other two pairs, and I gave them a bit of a tilt with

I then replaced the S40s with S45-2s on the same "stands," again with no volume change. Again a very pleasant experience. Just a bit different sound than the S40s. Just a bit less bright in the very high end maybe? Maybe a little more laid back in the male voices? Same decent bass response. Very listenable. I could listen to both the S40s
