[quote user="Cleviebaby"] I have had a 40 year relationship with B&O, and like all relationships it has had its ups and downs. I have been unfaithful (regularly), and for a while deserted B&O completely. And yet I have always returned and for the last 17 years or so, I haven’t strayed at all. Discovering Beoworld (and yes, it

[quote user="wirralsimon"]If you are technically competent and are restoring a tatty pair to good-ish condition for sale on ebay then the price difference between refoaming and new drivers is probably the profit margin.[/quote] Most likely, yes. However, the sound quality issue is always there. I have a bunch of C/CX series speakers and, 100

Very nice! That picture may have just cost me a few hours of work, I have a well worn Beo 4 I've wanted to fix and now I may have to borrow your idea. A perfect match for BC9000.

[quote user="beodude"]Ok Henri, I'll try to explain very simply why gas concentration causes the planet to heat up so maybe even you can understand!![/quote] I haven't got a problem understanding the (highly abused and mispresented) theory behind the global warming scam. While some of the phenomenons described as a cause are technically

[quote user="j0hnbarker"]As you have done up to this point?[/quote] I've always had a secret masochistic fantasy about what it feels like to be the voice of reason in the middle of inquisition. This is just about as close I can get to experience it first-hand.

[quote user="j0hnbarker"]Judging by this thread we'd have a very lively debate as to the merits of these very tenuous and yet-to-be-proven theories.[/quote] I'm afraid a thread about any of these scientifically verifiable issues would be short lived. The background of this thread's subject, however, is as debatable as fifth century

[quote user="jldmelb"]I think that deliberately trying to be a knob doesn't do anybody any favours mate.[/quote] I think it's more of a counter-reaction to all the übertrendy climate hype. A few years ago I used to do that, too, when eco-activists tried to preach me about the subject - seeing their faces when mentioning 0.4mpg

[quote user="beodude"]Henri, forget about weather phenomenons, the fact is the ratio of gasses trapped in the ice bubbles is definitive proof of what the atmosphere was like hundreds of thousands of years ago.[/quote] Considering that only "proof" that gas concentration (partial pressure) has virtually anything to do with atmospheric

[quote user="beodude"]There is no doubt that we have caused this very recent increase in the levels of green house gasses because it has happened in such a short period of time.[/quote] It's still only speculation at best. The vast majority of recent "research" has concentrated in efforts to prove the greenhouse hypothesis, as

[quote user="Dking63"]Appreciate the freedom of speech, I really mean not harm and I AGAIN teach my children to be RESPONABLE.[/quote] I shouldn't really participate in this kind of conversations, but here we go anyway... Saving energy is a good thing, but I'm slightly tired of hearing all these scientific conversations about climate
