Hi, my name is Brian, and after wanted to get into B&O equipment for a long time, I've finally started. I just finished up a degree in design, and B&O has always appealed to my stylistic sensibilities.
I recently purchased a Beogram RX with MMC5 cartridge at a local record shop. I have it temporarily setup with a little pair of KLH bookshelf speakers, and a denon receiver. I want to get a B&O receiver and speakers to round out the set.
I realize it would be better to pair the speakers with the reciever, but I don't have too many leads on a B&O receiver right now. I do however, have some leads on speakers.
Currently I am looking at a pair of S45 (I need to confirm which of the S45s they are exactly), a pair of of RL 6000s, a pair of RL 140s, and a pair of S75s. They're all of a similar price range.
I'm looking for opinions.
I am worried about repairing foam rot and or capacitors, and how much that will cost. I am not actually shy from DIY, I build museum exhibits for a living and have built my own 3d printer, but I am trying to figure out:
My music room for now is likely to stay my office. it's a small room, so I don't need mega loudness. Even if the equipment were to move out into the living room at some point, it's still small, I live in a 900 square foot historic house.
I may have a lead on a beomaster 3000 receiver. I also have a lead on a Beomaster 3300 (2953).
Thank you for your time, all opinions welcome!
I wound up purchasing a pair of S45-2s. One of the pair definitely needs some work-- it's quieter and not as "crisp" as the other. Now I need to research re-capping, i know that it's been discussed on this forum many times.
