[Boston Acoustics 525V Center speaker]

Now for the preliminary test results: it sounds great!  It seems to have the same sound signature as my VR12 but needs to be cranked up a bit to deliver the same DBs.  Even at louder than necessary levels, it doesn’t complain.  I’ll test it for a couple of weeks and see how it fares with my regular listening habits compared to the VR12.

Hi Ra.ra,

As you proposed, it was an easy task to reposition everything.  I managed to replace and glue the caps, resistor and coil without breaking anything, soldered a broken wire and now waiting for the glue on a cabinet chip to dry.

I am new on this forum, thanks for having me!

I have a question for the BA specialists in this group. I just bought a 525V BA center speaker. I thought it might match my BA T1030's/T830's. I haven't made any tests yet, I'll let you know my impressions. The speaker is in very good condition but I heard something moving inside so I opened it up. The crossover board seems to have been modified or repaired. Here is a picture, does anyone have a hint on what was done with what is shown?

Thanks!

Marc
