WTD: Beovox 5700/2

[DarrenHW]

After as many pairs of these as I can find, any condition or location considered.

With all these requests for a certain piece of kit I think it would be useful for the OP to describe briefly what it is. Speakers? amp? TT?

Would then avoid the necessity of googling...........not everyone knows the make/model number.

I (maybe wrongly) assumed that if someone had a pair they'd know what they were, but if not...

If you have a pair of these:

or these;

I'd like to buy them, even in that condition!

If you too need photo's to identify your kit and have a pair of these collecting dust I should point out they're absolutely worthless, all mouth and no trousers, style over substance, designer Danish audio. I'd be doing you a favor taking them off your hands :D.

Much better Darren, if anyone happens to see any they can then let you know. :)

Back on the search for a pair of 5700's if anyone knows of a pair going?

They're rather nice. I've heard them, impressive speakers. The 5702 is similar I believe.

[DarrenHW]

Good to know :). I was open to 5702's as well but as I now want to mount them horizontally the 5700 looks like the better choice.

:exactly: I want to try them as surround speakers.

Not in the Ditton 66. The mid & top are similar, but the bass and ABR are different. Usually 10" Celestion units (in those I've seen), but as you can see, others were used. I suspect that is a Philips bass driver in the pictures and one ABR is a KEF BD139 (probably).

I believe so.
