Hello,

I need a set of floor stands for Beovox 80.2 speakers.   I think the number is 6017.   Since the asking price on relevant auction web sites reached levels where DIY makes economical sense I decided to make them myself.   Unfortunately I could not find the correct dimensions here on this web site.   I would apreciate if somebody has set of those stands and could measure the main dimensions and the size of the steel sections used (bottom frame and cross bar) and post them here.   Furthermore a detail picture of the adjustment screw would me most helpful.

Kind regards,

Hagen

S45 DIMENSIONS

The stands for Beovox S45(6427)/S55/S80/S80.2/S120 is type 6017 and has a height of 52cm.
The ones for Beovox S45-2(6312) is type 6013 and has a height of apprx. 44cm.
They have the same fitting and footprint, only the height differs.
Both types were produced in two versions; One has the vertical bar welded to the square foot,
the other has an allen hex screw from below.

Hello Søren and Martin,

thank you very much for the fast and detailed reply !   The welding operation can start as soon as I found the steel sections.

Would you have any information about this third adjustment screw on the vertical bar?   I have pictures but the resolution is not very good.   It looks like a big black knob and I am only guessing that it is used for adjusting the speaker angle.   I have seen the stands years ago but I don't remember it to this detail.

Kind Regards,

Hagen

Yes, the screw on the vertical part is for setting the angle of the speaker.
It's a screw with its head cast into a rubber bumper.
A fingerwheel-type washer sits behind it to tighten against the metal to lock the chosen position.

I made it with a M5 screw, hexagonal nut and a brass knob pressed on the head of the screw

Hello Søren and Martin,

thank you for the information.   I think I'll be able to construct something very close to the Original; I don't think I'll be able to get it 100% correct like the Original anyway; I have my doubts that I can even get the correct steel sections here on this island.

Kind regards,

I don't think there's much point in going to that much detail - it'll take an expert to notice the difference, and they will probably recognize a replica anyway! The most important thing is to get the proportions right. I'm sure the designers spent a lot of time thinking about them, and any variations will probably make it look just odd.

That having said, I bought my S80.2's with stands from an old architect. He apparently wasn't happy with the original setting, as he had made new mounting holes in the speakers to make them sit 8.5 cm lower. I have to admit the end result looked a lot more stable and convincing. But being a slave to originality, I have them installed in the original holes...

Hello Mika,

I agree.   I know I can get 25x12.5mm sections and I think that should be acceptable.    I might be able to get 25x15 in stainless steel.  I will definitely use the original dimensions.   The whole purpose of the stands is to get the speakers off the ground so lowering them defeats the purpose.    I bought my speakers a good while ago in an auction and last weekend finally found some time to replace the speaker rings.   Now all that is missing to put them into use are the stands.

Kind Regards,

Hagen
