Hi All
Could anyone please direct me to somewhere I could purchase a full set of the screw in rubber feet for my new (to me) BL8000 speakers?
Spent a fair bit of time online searching for these with no luck - also the rubber cable tidy things might be quite nice if available.
Thanks

You can surely get these from your B&O dealer? Secondly, eBay has them sometimes. Thirdly, try contacting the B&O resellers such as Lifestyle AV, Iconic AV, Timeless AV, Quality Dream Audio etc.
For the cable covers, an alternative are the cable socks readily available in a variety of sizes on eBay ' search for 'Olufsen cable sock' or cable tidy. Very neat and easy to use.

Thanks Dave - I didn't consider B&O dealers - duh! I guess they are still current. We don't have a dealer all that handy I'm afraid so I'll phone the resellers as you suggest .
Great tip on the 'olufsen' cable sock, that'll do nicely - nb without the olufsen bit there are some lovely knitted socks, and may have sorted out wife's birthday present

Prices vary wildly for those cable socks so search around. Some are shockingly higher than others for the same product.
If you get some, don't stick you finger in it! It's like those Chinese trap things and you can't pull your finger out again!
Good luck to you if you try to get away with just buying her some socks. A braver Man than me.
I'll bear that in mind :-) I don't think id get away with it either.
Anyway feet now sorted - got them from AVA services Crawley 01293 611590 (Simon) total cost less than £25 delivered so all good. No response from the nearest B&O dealer as test, but these are B&O parts so probably similar price.
Just the cables (and socks to sort)now
Go to a B&O dealer personally, and ask him kindly for a couple socks. Sometimes they have them somewhere in the back from second hand equipment they don't need anymore. Or brought it back home from a swap in equipment they did with a customer. My dealer had a whole box of it laying around a year ago. I needed one for my BL19, thats why I am informed about it.
