I have a mint pair of RL 35’s that I am going to restore the grilles. These reflex loudspeakers sound great. What a unique design they were. To bad B&O got out of the audio business. They jumped on the Bluetooth bandwagon with that ridiculously expensive 360 degree sound unit. All the bluetooth systems I have listened to sound terrible. The class D embedded amps sound so synthetic. I love my class D but these audio companies have stupid start up prompts and dreadful sound. Not home stereo quality. Poolside and beach junk.
What model speakers did you replace the OEM speakers with? i just picked up a pair with stands for $100 bucks in great condition, but i want to upgrade them to sound more modern like you did. Any recommendations? thanks! 🙏🏻
Better use gluespray on both the cabinet and fabric for the B&O logo embossing. Only one side the embossing eventually comes loose. What about the straps?
Hi Yes. I agree to use gluespray such as 3M which would be better result than the normal fabric glue. You can buy the straps from ebay but I don't like the strap material and colour on the front of speakers that need to spand extra cost as well so I didn't do. Thanks ~
@@leslienelwan hi, if you are Leslie from netherlands, on beoworld forum. I would like to say huge thank you. Becouse of your detailed explanation on forum and a lot of pictures as an example i manger to do restoration on rl140 as well on cx100 speakers.
I have watched your video 10-15 times and now started the work, but a disappointing start. I have a problem in finding the right glue, not able to get the embossing correct as the glue do not stick it well in shape. I do not find craft one which showed you in Germany :(
A hint that will apply here: search videos on how to replace car interior roof fabric. Very similar principle with very similar materials. That will provide tips and tricks to get delicate fabric to stick and might even provide a good spray adhesive to use in this case. Cheers!
My only gripe before pulling the trigger on a pair of these were the grill conditions. You just solvd that issue for me. Thank you Sir!
really great video, watched this twice came back to it after copping a humble pair of RL 60.2s

any suggestions on what type / where to find speaker fabric. I purchased speaker fabric on amazon and it is not flexible enough to fit the curve
Great video, but I'd like to see is how you removed the rear clam-shell of the speaker from the main body - any tips???
Wow, Monk in the background
Well done sir! :D Think Ill may tackle a pair of LR-140 myself soon. Got one question:
Whats the name of the fabric, and from where did U buy it?
I bought BLACK PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER FABRIC - 780mm x 680mm from the eBay
Hi, how did you manage to get the corners nice and smooth, need to do mine and worried about seeing folds in corners, thanks, great vid
Not to bad to see the fold shape the corner ;)
I too have exactly the same question in my mind :)
What model speakers did you replace the OEM speakers with?
i just picked up a pair with stands for $100 bucks in great condition, but i want to upgrade them to sound more modern like you did. Any recommendations? thanks! 🙏🏻
Does anybody knows what brand of drivers are used in it?
Philips

Still, that particular place where the straps are the fabric will come loose especially when adhesive tape have been used.

Gluespray should be done on both sides. If not after a while the embossing will dissapear. Fabric will come loose...
