Well no foam rot to worry about they are perfect so I am going to order my leads from Steve @ sounds heavenly and get going Thanks Everybody for the heads up. They look monstrous in my living room hope they sound as good as they look.

Cheers Nick

Lucky man! Do they need the mid-ranges refoaming?

Not sure to be honest, something that may need looking at.

these are labs, an offer has gone in! here is his reply.

Greetings Nick and yes they are the Beolab active / B&O version of passive if you bypass the amps in them - the problem was all about the 5500 receiver master control not speaking to the speakers OR the the other way around - two of us spent an entire afternoon trying figure out what the problem was (we had wiring diagrams as well) but it all got too complicated as the fault was intermittent at the time also on one speaker - and during this time the dratted control stopped speaking to the recaiver also - I am going to try them again using both an ordinary integrated amp for passive and a CD machine using a passive pre for active - I have someone coming to see them tomorrow also and he is needing them as passive, so maybe a bargain to be grabbed if they work okay as they did previously when passive and active with anything except the B&O machines...

Goodness did any of that make sense...

James

Does this make sense to anyone? Can I get any spares if need be?

Cheers Nick

Hi thanks for that! I have sent him a mail, as it doesnt state whether they are active version or not. Its hard to tell without pics, I don't fancy a 4hr drive to find they are beovox! I will keep you all posted, fingers crossed

Cheers Nick

See eBay number 130338710561 (copy this number and paste it in the eBay search bar) for a pair of Pentas.... Offer him 300 and see if he takes it???

Good luck!!

I got a pair of mint 5000 vox and if I can sell on the 3000's for a fair price its likely to be a saving - i intend to look at the 5000's when i pick up the swag may come away with 2 pairs if the big uns are still up for grabs!

A little off centre logic wise I agree!

stotty1111:

gone! i bought em to labize some 5000's - anyone want some 3000 vox speakers?

make me an offer via pm!

t

If it isn't a silly queston, why didn't you just buy the Lab 5000s he had for £200 more? Seems like less messing around to me!
