[QUOTE="goblues38, post: 1751715, member: 29724"] Do not bother replacing the speakers unless you are going to replace the amp. It is a complete waste of money. Plenty of threads on this. The B&O system can't be upgraded part by part...you have to do it all at one time. The reason the B&O system sounds so bad at anything above moderate listening levels is the B&O amp and tuning. The amp only has 8 watts pf power per speaker.....lack of power is what kills speakers, not too much power. because of the lack of power, the system distorts or sends square waves to the speakers at any elevated listening levels. So the B&O amp rolls of bass response very rapidly in order to save speakers. Since the amp is integrated into the CANBUS system, you can't just replace it without using the ZEN A2B interface. Bottom line......$3,500 minimum to make the system sound any better if you have to pay a shop. $2,500 if you know how to do it yourself. (if you are asking...you probably can't) If anybody tells you to just replace speakers, or that you can just add an amp to the B&O system...run away...they dont know what they are talking about and you will just be pissing away your money.
