Great to hear! I am leaning towards getting a b&o speaker as my center but now I just have to de side which one ?.

Thank you. I really like the look of the 7.1 speaker and would definitely change the cover to wood if I bought one. It looks amazing then!

 

I have heard about the beolab 7.4 before but I prefer the design of the 7.1 quite a lot although the 7.4 is starting to grow on me. The 7.4 also seems quite hard to mount if you have a cabinet under the TV so I would have to move some things around to make it fit. I hadn’t heard about the beolab 10 but from what I can find it seems to be the 7.4 but with a much larger cabinet so I would assume that it performs better than the 7.4?

 

What really bothers me is how hard it is to find reviews about theses speakers. I have find some about the beolab 7.4 but I have not read a single review/forum post about the beolab 10 and how it performs. It probably exists but there just isn’t alot of information out there.

How could I forget 🙂 I have only had time to change the two top pieces but those look great so far. Need to do some polishing once I finish changing the cloth

Yea I’m very happy about the fabric myself! I was having such a hard time finding a reasonably priced dark grey fabric and was so close to just using black fabric. But then I found a danish website which sold it for the same priced I would have payed for black fabric (Antrasit grå from netsound.dk in case anybody finds this post in the future).

I bought my speakers used and the steel wasn’t in the best shape with scratches and even some rust spots. I have bought some autosol aluminum polish which I have used on a few sides with good results. Once I finish polishing them I will probably not let anybody near them ?

I must confess that I initial were very skeptical about your suggestion to use tape instead of glue but since I couldn’t get the top piece looking good I though it was at least worth a try. And I must say it was so mush easier and came out looking great! I used some decent 3M double sided tape I had and it was so nice and useful to be able to adjust the fabric while attaching it. It seems to hold it quite well for now so now lets hope that it will last.

Thanks for the tips. Even though the glue held well and was easy to apply it dried so fast that I wasn’t able to reposition the fabric after pressing it into the glue. Will try with tape like you said and see if that is easier.

Thanks for the help. Didn’t think about using double sided tape. Like you said that might be easier than glue. Have you changed the fabric on a pair of pentas yourself? If so in what order did you do the sides on the top piece? Did you start with the two long sides and then do the the short ones?

Decided to order from Repairyourspeakers and not buy the replacement foam gaskets since, after looking through this forum, I haven’t found a single person mention them so I guess they can’t really make all that much difference.
