Hi, 

by accident I found this video on YouTube.

this guy uses different woofers on his speakers:

He seems to use Fenton 8 Ohm speakers.

probably these ones:

i really don’t if it works.

i just wanted to share it with the community.

regards chris

That guy seems to know very little about speakers.
Yes, of course they sound better than before. Woofers with their surround missing plays nothing - and at least heavily distorted.

If I remember correctly, the original woofers are 6 ohms impedance, so the balance between the tweeter/midrange and woofers will be off.

But why use inferior drivers like that?
You cannot even look up their T/S parameters. I bet the Vas would be quite high.

Generally, finding modern replacement woofers for what B&O originally used is often impossible, and it's typically (but not only) because they require a much larger cabinet volume. Something the RLs just doesn't have.

Having the original woofers refoam'ed would've be a far better solution in my opinion. They are excellent drivers.

The next owner will wonder if this junk is really what B&O made.
