Re: S45 (83-86) floor stand ???

Good point Laurence, but I don't think there's any real danger. I guesstimate these S80.2's of mine can be tilted 10-15° degrees each way before they would tip over - about the same as my passive Pentas. The center of gravity is a bit on the front side on these, I guess the smaller and flatter models will be even more stable.

I believe the angle is there purely for the looks - if you leave out the adjustment screw as in my last picture, the bottom of the speaker sits nearly exactly above the bottom of the stand.

Hey All,

I guess you'll need to be a little careful with regard to the angle.... as the speaker basically 'hangs' off the stand cantilevering over the base it needs to have the perfect balance for stability and I'm sure B&O did a few test stands to get this right... I would recommend doing a mockup first to make sure you've got it right...

Laurence.

I got original manuals for most of my Beovox speakers.

S45-2, S80.2 S120 and M150

They all use the 6017 stand exept the M150 is called 6016.

You have the option to wall mount those 6017 speakers too with the 6014 wall mount.

I was close to missing those but thank god I noticed them and got the 2 NOS pairs.

Each package consist of 2 plates, a bag of screws and mounting instructions.

The speakers can be mounted 2 ways and still be tipped like when on stands.

As seen here on a pair of Beovox S45-2 you mount 2 screws and then you can hang the speaker on the plate.

As far as I can see I can use Beovox S45-2, S80.2 and S120 which is great.

I was just worried that you won't have a metric measuring tape Jaff, and we'd have to deal with some dead king's elbow lengths or something

I'll be interested to see what the other sizes might be. The guy I bought these speakers from had made new mounting holes in the speakers so that they sat about 10 cm lower than originally (the pic above is with the "correct" holes). Have to agree I liked the lower look more.

No problem Jaff

We are waiting for your validation

Looks like you guys are on the ball! My: "day or three" was accurate... horrid weekend!

At this point I can offer to validate the measurements; I can also offer that there are different sized stands -as I have at least two different sizes.

That's where they usually live, didn't bother moving them for this picture... I bought the two ebony giraffes in Arusha, Tanzania; the small one was made by my grandfather probably 60 years ago

HA ! I didn't notice small dark yellow giraffe behind

Mika, you never stop to surprise me

Great! Again thank you very much !
Your drawing looks more professional than mine

Actually I really like those two giraffe sculptures

So here's another side view, angle approximation courtesy of CorelDraw.

Probably 93.0° by design, but seriously, who's going to notice or care if it is a degree or two off as long as both stands are the same?

Error fixed

only thing which is left is angle and I can start make them ...

nmartin771:

I think the best way is to measure directly on the speakers and mark on horizontal bar and than drill it, because we don't know weather is the same distance between holes on S45, S55, S80 ....

BTW small error there in your drawing (and something I forgot to measure) - I only now noticed that there's third diagram on the right...

The length of the mounting bar is 200 mm, it is the holes that are 185 mm apart.

I would expect this be the same for all S45 - S/MC120 since they are the same width - but I guess anyone wanting to make these stands can measure his own pair of speakers to be sure

Screws are M4 as I mentioned earlier.

Thats a good point because I want a pair made for S55 and S75 speakers.

Of course I will post finishing products :) I'm thinking to make them of some other metal ... maybe stainless steel ...

nmartin771:

WOW Mika! Thank you very much ! This is more than I need ...

So I made technical drawing of stand, and because vertical part is slightly angled I need two more dimensions ( which I draw with red line's ) to know the angle ...

Thank you again

Thats brilliant nmartin (big thanks to tournedos as well!). Will you post the finished diagrams when you've done it? What about the space between the two holes on the top horizontal bar. I suppose I could measure the back of a speaker. What type of screws are used? This is very exciting!
