It is, thanks! Just imagine that these aluminium cabinets were badly scratched, but with some effort I polished them for a long time (pffffff) and got this result.

Finished them with 5mm grey/silver stripes.

Sweet! Very nice looking, the grill cloth looks great with the metal cabinets.

Hi there,

Was there any lagging or insulation inside which you removed?

Thanks,

Nick

Is this question for me? Not sure what you mean by "lagging" and "insulation"?

Just finished another pair of CX100 and used the silver cloth of my Avant which is btw red now

I notice peeking thru the grill cloth on these and the original ones that were stripped down earlier in the thread, it appears they are missing the foam used to control diffraction around the tweeter.

You're right Jeff, forgot to put them in

Very nice! Thanks for posting, the tape looks great on them, just what my CX50's need. The tape is pretty yellowed on one of them. It's odd, when I got them they were on the junk table of a local hifi chain that sold B&O before B&O went to dedicated stores. They were a pair but obviously not from the same year, one is obviously older than the other and looked a bit different.

I notice peeking thru the grill cloth on these and the original ones that were stripped down earlier in the thread, it appears they are missing the foam used to control diffraction around the tweeter. Mine a piece of foam, rectangular, about a centimeter or two thick, with a circular hole in the middle about 6 or 7 cm in diameter. When I got the speakers back in the 90s this foam was missing on one of them, but B&O sold me a new pair of them. They fit inside the grill cloth/frets.
