    Beomaster 900K sound quality

    Last weekend I was restoring the woodwork in my recently purchased Beomaster 900K (another one!) and the Beovox S80.2's I also got lately.

    The 900K sounded pretty good once I cleaned all the scratchy controls, but then it occured to me that why not try it with the 80.2's. Yes, it sounded quite excellent for a 40+ year old stereo receiver, but I had to turn the bass almost all the way down and the treble almost all the way up before it sounded balanced to me. Is it designed this way - perhaps to compensate for the characteristics of the internal speakers - or would it benefit from some upgrades?

    The woodwork restoration on the 900K was a success anyway. I got completely rid of a flower pot mark and various scratches on the top, and the faceplate is clean as ever. Too bad the slider rail with the position markers is missing an inch or so from the other end.

    I might have some spares ...

    You mean the whole faceplate? The rail itself seems glued on, and not replaceable...

    I might be selling this machine (or the other one after swapping the faceplates), in which case I probably wouldn't benefit from a spare - the Finnish people are notorious for not paying any premium for completeness, or condition in general for that matter Devil

    If I decide to keep both, though, I might get back to you. I've actually been after a black version, but these are both grey.
