The S55&#39;s are some of my personal favourites amongst the smaller &quot;S&quot; series of speaker. Do as Martin suggests &amp; replace the cap&#39;s in the crossovers while you have them open.</p> <p>You won&#39;t find anything near as good as these, in terms of sound &amp; build quality,&nbsp;for the price of a repair kit &amp; a little work.</p> <p>Welcome to Beoworld<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p> <p>Chris.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/257805.aspxSun, 07 Feb 2010 13:53:55 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:257805Dillen0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/257805.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=257805<p>Welcome to Beoworld !</p> <p>The Beovox S55 are fine speakers for their size.<br />The woofers are 6 ohms so not easily replaced by modern types but<br />I would almost always suggest refoam rather than replace anyways.<br />Shouldn&#39;t be too costly and if the rest is like new, they will be worth it.<br />I can help you if you are near Denmark.<br />I would also suggest you grab a capacitor kit. It would make good sense to<br />replace the old and dried out electrolytic capacitors while you have<br />the speakers apart.</p> <p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/257802.aspxSun, 07 Feb 2010 13:47:25 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:257802gemini400https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/257802.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=257802<p>We Inherited a year ago a beogaram 5000 with some s55 speakers.&nbsp; The whole thing is in mint condition ,but the foam around the woofers has now disentagrated.&nbsp; Do we repair or not? if so how and where? if not what speakers should we buy to replace?</p> <p>regards&nbsp; Danny</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
