Some of you already know that I have been after a pair of beolab pentas (cheap)! Well after an ad in the wanted section, I was given a heads up on a pair of mk1's on ebay.  I emailed the seller to get a feel for them and he seemed a real nice guy that needed to rid some clutter, He remembered they possibly had a fault or it could have been his beocentre 5000. I put in a fair offer and waited to see what would happen, he accepted the next day and even delivered them the day after! This wasn't even arranged he just turned up at my work with them in his car!  So I got in touch with Steve at sounds heavenly, he made up the required leads and even hand delivered them today!

I am sat in my living room listening to a cd that Steve gave me, and loving the pure sound from these beauties.  

So a big thanks to everyone who have helped and a massive thanks to Steve for the cracking service!

From a very happy Nick Cheers!

Alright, time to put the cheesy grin away and get down to some serious ornament bouncing!

Joking apart - brilliant nice to see others have good fortune

ps the Mx7000 is still working well - in the end the problem was the scart card - must have been a dry joint or a track break as only occured when the set was using the scart input, changed the card et voila as the frogs say problem solved - again my thanks to you for the tv's

No problem, Good things happen to good people!

Hi Nick,

Glad you like the cables and the CD!  I agree with you about the sound of Beolab Pentas, they are excellent speakers!  Personally, I prefer the sound when the mid/treble panel in the centre of the left-hand speaker has been turned through 180 degrees, ie. so that both tweeters are on the inner edge.  This gives the sound a little more crispness and clarity IMHO.

To do this, just prise off the lower grille gently with your fingernails and use a Posidrive screwdriver (mk.1's) or star/Torx bit (mk.2/3's) to remove the 6 screws holding the panel, turn it without removing the wires and re-fix the screws.  Simples!

Best regards,

Steve.

PS. For the record, I can't always promise to hand-deliver EVERYONE'S cables (eg. yesterday's shipments included Vietnam, USA, China, South Korea, France, Poland and Latvia, as well as a few more local ones!)
