    Re: Beovox S75: your opinion?

    The M100's are very good speakers anyway. :) But I think the guy that I was talking about will have the right size or would be able to get them (he's in The Netherlands btw).

    Now I play with the MS150's and in my situation I think the M100's will be a bit of an overkill on base in proportian like the S75 did (not sure, haven't placed them at my living room yet). Are you able to compare the 2 (as in bass like)? 

     

    about the MS150's: The high's can get pretty agressive plugged in to modern sources (CD players/MP3's). After a while you get tired listen to it (although it's very analitical and acurat picture you get) and you put on the old trusty record player on to get some rest (nothing wrong with that though ;) ). 

    BUT! I now have Quad CDP 99 connected to my Beomaster 8000 and the speakers just sound like my Beocord 8000 (MMC 20 CL) but with more depth, dynamics etc.

    I even thinking about replacing my living room set to all Quad (soundwise), but I can't because it doesn't have the WAF that the B&O has (and I agree tbh :D )

    mormel:

    about the MS150's: The high's can get pretty agressive plugged in to modern sources (CD players/MP3's).  

    To get rid of the aggressive highs:

     

    Have you tried/considered changing the capacitors that feeds the signal to the tweeter (and midrange) units to a better, “audiophile” type?

     

    Though I must admit that I haven’t done this on MS150s, I’ve had very good results with other Beovox speakers (S75, S45-2, S30 type 6301):
    The highs loosen up, gets much better defined and more “airy” – and less massive/aggressive.

     

    On the MS150 it’ll be about to change:

    ·      1 x 33 uF cap in series w the midrange unit

    ·      2 x 6,8 uF caps in series w the tweeter

    (resp. C12, C13 & C14).

     

    I’ve used Jantzen Cross Caps but others offer good audiophile caps as well.

     

    Less than 25 USD + half a hours DIY-work a side could get you a much better sounding Beovox - Big Smile

    I still need to replace them indeed, but the difference in sound coming from the cd-player or turntable was to big just to blame the capacitors though.

    Many thanks for the suggestion though. As soon I have more time I'll do it and I'll will report back on this forum. :)
