    Distortion

    Guys I have connected an Ipod to my Bm7000, it does sound nice through my Penta's but I have a problem and that is, at low volume the sound quality is not great? It sounds like the speakers are kind of farting, sorry thats the only way I know describing the sound. Do I need to replace all the driver foams? Are these any good?

    Thanks In Advance Nidul

    Re: Distortion

    Replacing the foam on the midrange drivers is a must on the Pentas if they haven't been done yet.

    Now I'm still a bit unclear, which Pentas do you have - BeoLab or BeoVox?

    Post some pics of your surrounds, the problem may be the your Ipod library, if your music is low Kbs files the problem may be there.

    Re: Distortion

    Hi Soren

    I am pretty sure I have Beolab Penta II, I know I need to change the foams, but am worried as I have never done this type of thing before!Unsure I a pretty good at doing fiddly jobs like this but am not sure wheather I trust myself. Firstly how do I get the old foam off the speakers then is it just a case of glueing the new ones in place? These are my questions/worries. Is it pretty easy? And should I buy that kit I have seen on Ebay, that includes foam replacement aswell as Fret material? The issus wants e to place the old grey Frets with some fresh black Frets!!

    Hi Leslie

    I will get some pictures up as soon as I get my camera back from the missus. Hope you are well? I am about to hunt down your Workbench thread about the White BeoSystem 6500. I am very Interested because I want to buy a complete set very similar! I also want to get beolink 7000 and floor stand, do you know where I could get one of these? I did think about the Ipod recording format/levels, so it could be that, but I defineatly think the foams need replaceing.

     Thanks for all your help and advice guys! Nidul

    Try this website for replacement foams, and they do a good video showing how easy it is to do. I refoamed my CX50's and the difference is truly amazing. The process is not too difficult but if you are carefull the results are very rewarding.

    Re: Distortion

    Nidul,

    It is worth doing a search on the forum about the refoaming process, there is a lot to it. There is a lot of material on BeoWorld about this. These threads should answer your questions.

    I'll second the replacement foams from goodhifi. I've been able to repair about a dozen speaker pairs without issue using his foam surrounds. Take your time, work slowly and carefully. The video shows exactly how to do it. I use a battery to help center the woofer in the voice coil gap. Never had a problem.
