Bang & Olufsen speakers. Beovox CX 100 HI-FI Stereo. Classic Vintage. Fully revitalized.
The Bang & Olufsen a/s company was established in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen in Struer (Denmark). As early as in the 30s and 40s the company could boast several, significant successes, such as a sound recording system for the film industry, roof-mounted loudspeakers for circuses and military vehicles, or the iconic Beolit 39 radio receiver. Unfortunately, during World War II the company suffered enormous losses, when the factory in Struer was burnt by Nazi supporters as a revenge for refusal to cooperate with the Germans. Eventually, the company managed to rebuild its production and after 1955 Bang & Olufsen offered a wide range of radio receivers and continued to expand its product offer. The main focus was put on the highest quality and design. The company cooperated with many appreciated designers (especially when creating new radio receivers and loudspeakers), which in the year 1978 resulted in an exhibition of Bang & Olufsen projects in the Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. Currently, the company produces audio equipment, loudspeakers, headphones and TV sets of the highest quality, it has more than 700 points of sale all over the world.
When B&O engineers discovered that the signals from the woofer and tweeter placed in one unit did not reach the human ear in the same time, and that in consequence slight distortion was observed, they asked Jacob Jensen to design an enclosure in which the speakers would be shifted relative to each other. This is how Beovox C75 was created, whose successor Beovox CX100 triumphed in the audio market for almost 20 years (1984-2003).
Beovox CX100, 32 cm high, is the largest of a series of compact aluminum speakers launched by B&O. Although they were no higher than a vinyl record, the sound quality was the same as in full-size Beovox models. The CX100 loudspeakers have been designed for small rooms so that the sound is well-balanced and every type of music sounds completely natural.
The enclosures have undergone total revitalization, sandblasted and painted with powder paint burned in the oven at a very high temperature. Housings made of aluminum. Original speakers.
