[quote user="DKAudio"] [quote] Well, I'll just say that the BM8000 should be rated as " at least 100 watts continuous into 8 ohms". It's very stout power supply can deliver 55 V max to a speaker load. It does suck up to 700 watts from your power outlet. At stupid volumes, my lights dim with the beat of the music. Of course

Hey Daniel, a couple of things here. To me, 60wpc won't be enough. Audio manufacturers like to be sneaky and say "high-current design" making people think that it's better than a "regular" (???) amplifier design or something. However, the Beovox MS150's are an 8 ohm nominal speaker. So, you can have a super special "high

[quote user="arned"] Beovox MS150 has - like the other speakers in this serie - an effective overload protection if they get "to much", - so dont worry. With these loudspeakers I would go for the Beomaster 6000 with 2 x 75 W (IHF). In different test at the time in 1981/82 it was in many ways better than Beomaster 8000. [/quote] I

Well Martin, I may not agree completely with you, but you know I bow to you as the B&O master. And in my experience, grumpy old men who've done something for years and years usually know best when it comes to that thing. Anyway, maybe I've just lucked out on the drivers I've refoamed so far, but it's never been an issue for me. Tested

I also meant (and forgot) to say that you could just find his store on Ebay and Email him about the 10" surrounds. I'd bet that he has some, even though he may not have any listed. Jon P.S. - Haha, I typed a whole other original reply, but got a "pending moderator" message when I clicked "post", even though this afterthought

I believe the vendor on Ebay is "Good Hifi". I've bought surrounds for the 8" drivers from him, and they fit perfectly. I didn't find it necessary to remove the dust cap and use shims. No scraping at all through the voice coil's range of travel on either. Sorry - quick camera phone pics. A damaged voice coil is definitely

I have a pair of MS150's that I've had to reconstruct, thanks to UPS ruining them in shipping. Believe me, the 8" midbass is a very unique driver. You won't find a proper replacement for it. Go original. I've never tried anything by Goldwood, so I guess I shouldn't say they are junk, but that would be my first inclination toward

Haha, I don't think my 8000 system starts to get loud until the volume is about 4.0. Even at that level, you can still tell that the loudness function has an effect - when you switch it in and out, you can hear a small difference. I think the BM8000 tapers off the effect as the volumes increase. The loudness function does boost the bass quite a
