You are absolutely right, it worked like a charm! For reference, there are four holes, around the indentation at the back of the speaker, so that you can use the screw as a distance any which way you decide to hang the speaker on the stand.

Of course I am !!

I bought a pair of these in 1986 and had them until around 2004/5. Very underrated speaker at the time but becoming more appreciated as time goes by.

Mine were on swivel wall brackets but the same mounting principles apply. The long screw was actually supplied with the speaker from new but of course have long since been discarded along with the mounting plates!

Thanks a million for your swift reply! I'll check when I get home tonite. There isn't any screw mounted, but if there's a hole I'll try putting one in it!

You should have a screw, around 60mm long protruding from the back of the speaker. This screw bears on the mounting bracket part of the stand and causes the bottom of the speaker to be lifted away from the stand and towards the listener.

Without the screw the speakers will look at the floor!

Hey Bud,

Do you have some screw or screw(s) on the back of the speakers? They allow you to angle the speakers. I finally figured out how to put together my speakers stands by trial and error.

Could you elaborate on how you managed to angle it? I'm going nuts trying to figure out how I'm supposed to get the speakers hanging at a decent angle!

When I hang the speaker on the floor stand, it points downwards towards the floor. I'd like for it to hang straight or maybe point slightly upwards, but without modding the stand I can't see any solution.

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

First, push wire speaker braket back in place so it is flush.

Tthe speaker back(where you attached the wires) hangs on the 2 hooks on the speaker bracket. Any ?'s call us 262-719-0090

Hello minaviggen, you know, Mika is right when he says you can use the ceiling poles upside down, I have and my 140's look great!

Actually, you can use the ceiling poles as floor mounts as well - just turn the bracket part around! Of course, you would have to screw them either to the floor or some kind of a stand plate

$300 for the refoaming work doesn't sound too outrageous to me; there are four woofers, so it is a lot of work. You could also have the capacitors of the crossovers replaced while they are open, I hear it can be quite an improvement.

As with all speakers, the speaker should be mounted so that the tweeter is at the same height as your ears when seated in your normal listening position.

For my RL60s, I originally wall mounted them so I didn't purchase them with stands. Later I purchased some speaker stands (non B&O) and adapted them to hold the speakers.

Since that time I have, on a couple of occasions, contemplated getting some 'proper' B&O stands from eBay but each time I have changed my mind as I don't think they look as attractive as mine. Although I do accept they are made for my speaker and probably more stable.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I set up my speakers on the RL60 stands and, even though they're resting on the bottom of the stand pretty much, they work in the vertical position with the lip of the bracket on the stand holding it in place.

I called the local B&O repair specialist - it'll be about $150/speaker to refoam the woofers. I'd try to do it myself, but from what I read on here they're so precise with specs that I'd rather not risk destroying them... I guess it comes with the B&O territory! Wonder if there's anything else I should have the shop do/check while it's in service.

I have a pair of BeoVox 140 cieling mount poles that I am prepared to sell.

PM me if you are interested.

I will try to find the original mounting instructions for my RL140s - but I fear you will need the correct brackets and also a mounting that fastens to the rear of the RL140 - used to attach to the wall or ceiling bracket.

Excellent speakers - if the bass sounds rough then they will almost certainly need to be refoamed - not difficult.

minaviggen:

Hopefully they are 140 stands... I just measured them:
From top to bottom of each side beam is 30cm. Top of the black bracket to bottom of the stand is 41cm. I laid them down to somewhat demonstrate the sizes in comparison.
These are the only pieces I got - no screws or other brackets...

From this picture I can say with certainty that they are the wrong stands. You have RL140 speakers and stands for RL45/60

RL140's have a good amount of thumping bass so you have a problem in that area as well. Probably foam rot. Should be obvious when dismantled.
