Step1:

I agree with you Lee, especially as the tech has more than likely left it without saying anything. Some might argue there is a potential source of unwanted noise... It is dissapointing to see B&O using a system that has generally failed to stand the test of time!

Can see lots of these speakers needing a recloth in 20 years.... "oh dear, what was that snapping sound" lol!

Well to be fair, I think he should have said something.

But on the other hand, I didn't notice this until Alen pointed it out. It wasn't the reason why I posted the pictures.

In my case the one broken piece isn't making any difference. But sure, the tech should have made me aware, since I payed for him!

Oh well... Don't think there's any reason to start arguing over this with the shop. They did send me the bill twice though. This was done in december 2010, and I got a second bill posted to me in january 2012! Luckily I payed for it in the shop with a credit card, and I could easily source the transaction online and even provide the shop with the reference!

Guys - calm down! Poor old chap has been royally 'flamed' here, which isn't the way we do things on here is it?

If an engineer started snapping lugs on my BeoLab 5's i'd be less than happy, so i think there's an over-reaction to a fairly innocent post here !!

Right, my helmet is buckled on - i'm wearing full body armour and have a fire extinguisher tucked neatly under my left arm. Go.

Lee

Who's "poor" and "old"?!?!?!

Just kidding!

Well obviously he only broke one, so he's only half as bad as if he would have broken two.

But is it "nasty"?

I don't think so.

The store did try and get paid for the work twice though... That was a bit "nasty".

Andreas, I will take the old ones

They are now destroyed and obviously not worth it to ship over there. Andreas, if Eva doesn't let you keep two pairs, I could spare you the trouble of taking them to the skip

Nono, we can always have the old pair in the garage. Maybe they could even be mounted in the Z4...?

From my memory, those are plastic studs, holding the black plastic plate sitting flush with the fabric on the cone.

So just relax. It won't make a difference even if one of those studs was broken off by the repairman.

Overreaction of the century.

Indeed.

Well I ringed my B&O shop, luckily they are sending me 2 brand new BL5's for the problem with the broken piece of plastic. The manager was shocked! I even get to keep the old ones.

"Please don't sue, please don't sue" he cried out during the entire phone call.

The new ones are being sent First class from Czech.

Talking about exellent service

Sören,

I would even go so far and call it "first class service".
