Hello all,

I have a set of MKI BeoLab 2500's and would like to upgrade to the metal ones. I already have the metal frets and need the Baffel Kit. I checked with my local B&O Authorized service center and they said that the kit was not longer avaliable? So if anyone can get me a set for my speakers that would be great.

Thanks,

Brad

I'm sure it's still available..  Perhaps (perish the thought) he was being lazy and didn't check properly.  Some dealers just can't be bothered with spare parts as they are such a low-profit item.

I could be wrong though!!

Hi Brad,

If you don't mind doing a bit of destruction, this is how I do it.

1. Buy a special 3M tape (you can normally find it in motor accessory/spare part shop), it is like super glue

2. Remove fabric from both old speaker frets (simply cut and tear it off)

3. Cut the tape in small pieces and put them on one side(the side you attach to Beolab), remember all four corners must have tapes, then you can put some more evenly on the rest for the better result.

4. Put tapes on Metal frets' four corner.

4. Put the old fret back to Beolab, apply some pressure on the place you have tapes and leave it along for a while (this is recommended but I never do)

5. Now you can put both metal frets on top of old frets, again, you need to apply some pressure on the place you have tapes

I took one of the fret down and took some photos, I can send them to you if that will help, I had tried to upload but I gave up.

Thanks james for the DIY but I dont really want to tape / glue them on just in case I wish to replace them with another color later.

Buller... Buller...

Still looking for these. Anyone know how hard of an install this is?

thanks for the DIY James.  I just did it like you and it works great.  no vibration at all and sounds great.  really makes a nice update to the 2500's.  I took some pictures of the entire procedure in case someone needs a diy with pics.  gotta love beoworld.
