A week or so ago I found a nice Panasonic RX-C50S. Sadly not the most awesome color, but it looks kind of cute. Its sound unexpectedly good too!

Sadly after one hour pumping heavy beats the paper surrounds tore apart But because its such a nice sounding unit (its by far my best mini!), I decided to replace the paper surrounds by foam ones.... Personally I think it looks much better now (kind of mini PC5) and it sounds much better too!

Well, just to let you guys know it is a good option to replace the original surrounds by foam ones

Congrats! Excellent unit - solid built, nice looking and very good sound for its size.

Really worth having.

That's a great stack of C50s MT! I especially like the red one! Glad to see mines doesn't look so bad after all  But I do feel a bit sad for those lovely little switches on top  Senasgarsas I'm not from USA, hope I don't type like an american lol

Hey Michiel that is a thumping good unit! I love the colour as well...

 

Great job re-foaming!!

and if you could post a link about from where you got the refoam would be most helpful too as I have other similar sized speakers in boxes that need new foams.

Yep, mate, not mine though, one of my buddies in this hobby.

That's an other great stack! Wow!! I was collecting the RX-C39 in different colours too, but made the mistake to collect it together with the turntable... And only found the turntable in red, silver and black. Don't think they made it in other colours, so that road ended. Do you know if they ever made a pink C50? I would love to have it in pink! The ultimate girl magnet!!

Yep, definitely ultimate. 

I've never seen the pink C50 but I have asked my pal - he should know better than me.

Having fun.

Nope, he hasn't heard of the pink one either.
