Thanks Russ! It seems that I need two mid drivers and they'll be back up and running properly. The rest of the drivers appear to be alright!

You can still order all the drivers as new replacements for the Penta from your favorite B&O shop. The woofers will run about $70 each and the mid-ranges look to be about $50 each.

Welcome!

A wonderful set of pieces to get into the world of B&O with.

The Penta drivers rotting is a very common fault, and I hear that there are drivers available from you're B&O dealer (by order).

I completely agree with you're view on the 5000's, I have a pair myself, amazing speakers!

Hello B&O people, Up until yesterday I had only imagined owning B&O products but I had always admired them. As luck would have it I came across a few B&O products one of which was a pair of the Penta powered towers. Much to my dismay there are a few drivers that seem to be blown. My question is could any of you direct me to a place that might have a replacement driver? A couple of the paper cones have been pushed in and when I hooked them to the Beocenter 9000 I also picked up the sound was just awful. It sounded like something was terribly wrong. On the plus side I picked up a pair of Beolab 5000 wall speakers. One of the grills has a tear in it but when I hooked them up my jaw hit the floor. I've been a audio gear head for years mostly old school gigantic Polk SDA stuff and I was blown away by the sound of the 5000's. Words simply can not describe how beautiful they are. In any event I would love to get the Penta's up and running. Looks like I will be spending a lot of time delving into the wonderful world of B&O. Thanks for a great forum. Borderline
