I thought I would play some vinyl today

[quote user="j0hnbarker"] Mmm - wait until you get into the territory of replacing perfectly serviceable AV components with B&O items just because you want to own a B&O version of that particular item. I just replaced a nice 80Gb iPod with a six year old Beosound 2 with a 128 Mb SD card the other day. Why? Because! [/quote] Thats the

They are done now and what my ears are telling me is there is no reason not to use rubber surrounds vs original foam. I really cant tell much difference between the two. I wound up using a poly cap replacement that I had to mount on the side instead of underneath. Now it's on to stripping the paint off my other set, plus I will also recap and re

I have a pair of stands I use and a pair of swivel wall mounts I dont use. I would prefer to ceiling mount my other set at some point. Probably have to fab up my own set as well.

I am with Jeff BM 2400. Not sure about the Red Lines. I am thinking David Lewis designed those.

My speakers came out of the stripping process quite nicely. Should be OK . Right now they look a little like yours before you put the final polish on it. How did you restore the pinstripe? Mine are pretty much gone. I was thinking stainless wirewheel brush against the grain. Mika here is what Black speaker cabinets look like with red frets. Stripping

The red on polished aluminum is kind of what I would like. I think the black frets against the white look nice. But really any color would work with white. Guess it just depends on taste and the existing decor. Silver-gray against the black I see working nice. Recently Lee dolled up a Beolab Sub in Ferrari Red with a black fret. That might look cool

My thinking is to strip them to aluminum and go from there. If the aluminum is in good enough shap I will shine them up. If not = Paint- not black. I am tossing back and forth between rubber or foam. I am inching towards rubber. Heres the deal. I have another set of CX-100's that ewere refoamed in february. The metal is in good shape. Problem is

So they arrived today in the rotted out condition I expected. I didnt pay too much for them. I have more than just a simple refoam job planned for these guys.

Tommy Dorsey on Vinyl Ferrante and Teicher are up next. The CX100's arrived today.
