[quote user="tournedos"]Even the mid and treble amps are much bigger in the 5s, so I believe it is already a question of practical implementation issues... [/quote] And possibly also a matter of prestige in using their own ICE-technology in their TOTL speaker? BTW, great thread and great answers from tournedos - many people seem to think that

[quote user="Leslie"]Where can I get that and how on earth did you knew it is Arial[/quote] Hehe! Well, I'm a typography geek! :) When it comes to Arial vs Helvetica, the "R" ang the "G" is the most obvious difference. Unfortunately, Frutiger is not a free font so you'll have to but it unless someone is kind enough

Amazing! Really impressive! Great work, I only have one minor gripe: you should use Helvetica or Frutiger instead of Arial! :-) ...but apart from that, great work!

Indeed. They are very beautiful, I'd like to use one as a sideboard (to put my "modern" b&o system on).

Hi, I've experimented a bit more today, at present the Pentas are placed >60 cm from the wall, and the bass response is much flatter now - that mid-to-hi bass boost is almost gone, and the lower bass frequencies is better. Unfortunately, this placement is not an option in the long run, since it really messes up the whole room :P ..but yes, this

Evan, Thanks for your advice, but I have already experimented with the distance to the walls, and when I move the speakers closer to wall I get too much of the upper bass (maybe 150-250 Hz) and still not much happening below 100 Hz. What I've found so far is that I get a flatter frequency response when I move the speakers from the wall, but I can't

Hi everone, I went for the Pentas, I had a long listening session at the seller's place (using a Beosystem 7000, just as in my own system) and found them nicer than I expected! Anyway, at home I realised how sensitive the Pentas are when it comes the placement. When placed at the same positions as my M150s, I get no low bass (no sub bass and no

[quote user="Peter "]interesting the comment about the S45-2s - I like their top end in comparison. Just shows that speakers are a very individual choice![/quote] It could also be that my s45-2s need some TLC :-)

Thank you all for your input! It was interesting to read vour opinions on Penta vs MS150! I would like to buy a pair of MS150s some day to complete my beolab/system 8000, but like Peter says I think the Pentas will be nicer in my livingroom. I'm not worried anymore regarding the treble response of the Penta, thanks to you lot :-) ...but this has

Thank you both for your input, it's much appreciated! Sounds like both alternatives are good. Anyone with experience of both, how do they compare? I've read that some people find the Penta treble a bit muddy. Could this be a problem? I like how the treble in my M150s used to sound, but I'm not a big fan of the treble in the S45-2s that I
