Weight speakers Braun L8100HE: help me, please!

#1 Beitrag von clavint » 12.03.2015, 14:30

Dear friends,
i'm really sorry but do not speak German.
I'm from Italy and i like very much Braun speakers. I'm proud owner of a pair of L8080HE and, from few days, a pair of L8100HE.
The speakers Braun L8100HE play wonderfully, I love them but I have a little doubt: all documents that speak about L8100HE report weighs 18,5Kg each. Since it did not seem very heavy this morning I weighed and my scale says about 13Kg.
Can you help me answer this question? Mistook the documents? Yet I have the original documents that show clearly the Braun 18,5Kg. Do you have a speaker L8100HE be weighed, to give it a try?

Thank you in advance for your possible availability.
Kind regards.
Claudio

Hallo abig, thank you for your replace!
Yes, i know the documents. I have the original documents and that is the cause of my doubts. Why Braun says that each speaker weighs 18.5 kg while my speakers weigh about 13 kg each one?
Mistook the values shown on the documents of Braun or is there any problem in my speakers?
I hope some lover Braun has a pair of speakers L8100HE and can tell me the weight! I am very worried.

Kind regards.
Claudio

Hello olli,
yes, i can send pictures and specs but not now.
However I am very sure of the model because I know very well these speakers.
The dimensions correspond perfectly to those declared by Braun.
My fear is that someone before selling has replaced the woofers with something lighter but this seems very strange.

Kind regards.
Claudio

Dear Claudio,

wellcome to the Braun Forum community. Even though I never own the L8100HE by myself, we might be able to get a better grip on your "weight" problem. Lucky you that you already own the sister model L8080HE as this one is pretty much similar to the L8100HE concerning the build-in chassis. Taking into account that both Speakers share nearly identical 25cm woofer/50mm midrange-/19mm tweeter dome, the only remaining difference will be the cabinet size and construction. In fact the heights difference is about 6cm plus in regards to the L8100 HE.
It would make sense to determine the exact weight of the L8080HE as well which should be 13,5 kg according to Braun sources. If you can confirm on the weight your assumption concerning the L8100HE may become some more evidence as the L8100HE couldn't be lighter. On the other hand you can check if the build in chassis of both speakers are (nearly) identical.

Nevertheless I personally doubt that the small difference in terms of cabinet size will justify an addtional weight about 5 kg (L8100 HE vs. L8080HE). Maybe an typing error.
Just my five cents...

Best regards,
Jens

Hallo Jens,
thank you for your replacer!

A single speaker braun L8080HE weighs less than 13.5 kg declared. It weighs about 11.5 kg.
Indeed, it seems the right difference of 6 cm in height between the two types of speakers.
But I have decided to buy even the Braun L8100HE just because I was curious about the high weight and made me think of a much more robust speaker of 8080.
I am a little disappointed, although the sound is very nice.
So you imagine a number of "errors" for all values of the weights declared?

Kind regards.
Claudio

Hallo Claudio,
it's not bullit proof though but likely that the weights in the Braun catalogue differ from reality. Don't get disappoint about if the sound rocks... :wink: .
Best regards,
Jens

Surely I am very pleased with the sound (and also for their beauty :) ) but I'm a bit worried about the issue of components. :?
The bass is not so deep and present.
I hope there's someone in this forum who has a couple of L8100HE and who can say how much they weigh.
Heeeelpppppp!!!!
:(

King regards.
Claudio

Ciao Claudio,

it appears that these speakers (or simply bathroom scales?) are poorly or not at all represented in this forum.
My idea: You could search for offers on ebay.de and ask the seller to weigh their L 8100 HE for you.
If you need some translation in german language, please send me a pm (volentieri in italiano, sono 50% abruzzese!)

Good luck! Simon

Ciao Simon,
Grazie per la gentilezza! (thanks for the courtesy)
Potresti gentilmente darmi un tuo indirizzo di posta elettronica? Scrivere qui in italiano mi sembra una cosa poco carina verso gli altri utenti.
(Could you kindly give me your email address? Write here in Italian I think something bad towards other users)

Ciao. CLaudio

Ciao Claudio,

I've found this:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Braun-L8100HE-Hi ... _253wt_957
I asked the seller for the weight, "about 15 kg" was the answer.

Buona Pasqua & Happy Easter & Frohe Ostern, Simon
