    I could definitely use those drivers, but I live in the USA.

  • Re: Dream Products

    Id love to see an In-Ear monitor from B&O, or atleast some type of isolating headphone product. Also, l would love to see the BeoLab series progress further and break some price to performance barriers through refined manufacture and development process. The high prices and sometimes lavish materials are fine, but there are always ways to squeeze

  • Re: Upgrade?

    I browsed through the german thread linked earlier. Im supposed to replace: C1 = 4.7 uf, C2 = 4.7 uf C5 = 2.2 uf C25 = 10uF IC2 = LF353 correct? Im not interested in modifying the sound at all, and I intend on keeping original capacitor values. I just want them to sound like new again. Will the new caps clear up the midrange at all? Does anyone know

    [quote user="Alex"] Well I won't say 'never', but at present, there isn't really anything which'll consistently outperform them in all areas untill you start spending that amount...

    How much would it cost to get my Pentas recapped? I would do it myself, but Im not too good with soldering or anything like that. They are the active pentas.

    You mean like upgrading to icepower? Also, my receiver is an older 2 channel 100w yamaha. I am running my Pentas through the pre-out. Im almost certain the L/R channel volume isnt matched. I have a macbook pro which has spdif. I was thinking of buying a modern receiver with optical inputs. Will this solve my channel balance problem?

    Of course its all taste. Ive owned Klipsch, JBL, Velodyne, etc.. I understand they all offer different advantages. But one always outperformed another overall in the combonation of speed, detail, accuracy, soundstage, etc.... I think the main thing all audiophiles look for is low-level detail, tonal transparency, and a faithful reproduction of the original

    No I havent heard BL5, but I have read nothing but positive reviews on them. Even lots of audiophiles rave about them and say they are actually a bargain being they have built in amplification and impressive sound. But we are talking about a $15k speaker. Im 18, work at mcdonalds, and I dont have that much to spend. But they would be the first Id consider

  • Upgrade?

    Hey everyone. Let me make this clear: I am an audiophile. All I care about is the sound. If my pentas were girly, pink, and fluffy, I wouldn't hesitate to listen. So far I still havent heard anything better than my Pentas. The amazing room filling power response, imaging, and balanced sound tickle my ears all the time. But Ive been looking around

    A word of advise to people running Pentas with the line-in pre/out on a non B&O receiver: Make sure you check out your receiver manual for the pre-out voltage. On the penta, you have switch III =1v, switch II= 1-1.4v, switch I=1.4-onward. My Yamaha receiver has 1v pre-out, but I had the switch set to the III when I should have set it to II. Setting
