Hi and thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I recently picked up a B&O system with rosewood cabinet, Beomaster 8000, Beocord 8002 and a pair of Beovox m150's. Everything seems to be functioning but the foam on the speaker driver needs replaced. I can only seem to find the kits for the ms150's. Does anyone know if they are the same size or if not where I can find the correct kit? I am in California. Thanks so much.
Hi, welcome to Beoworld. Here is a link to my Beoworld MS150 thread from a few years back. It covers three versions of the MS150 series where I refoamed the woofers and recapped the crossovers. They are a really nice speaker once restored. I drive one set with a Beomaster 8000 as well.

Thank you so much. So much great info in that thread! My speakers are M150's. Do you know if the foam ring is the same size as the ms150. I have only been able to find ms150 foam kits online
Yes, the M150 21cm (8 inch) woofer is the same as the MS150 small woofer. The MS150 has another woofer, 25 cm (10 inch), below the 21 cm woofer. The 21 cm woofer is B&O part number 8480149 in the service manual. That part was also used in the Beovox S120 speaker. It is pretty easy to refoam that speaker.
Great! Thank you!
This one on eBay says it fits the ms150 but when I asked if would fit the m150 they replied that they didn't think so 😟

That would likely work (it lists the MC-120 speaker which is the same woofer). However, I am not familiar with that foam surround supplier. That doesn't mean they aren't good. I bought mine from this seller. You can send them a message and tell them what you are looking for.
Thank you so much I will contact them 😃
