INTRODUCTION:
For many years we had a pair of speakers designed and created by the multi-instrumental, progressive rock musician Bo Hanssen from Sweden.
Sure there are great loudspeaker systems made by "backroom boffins" who only deal in the technical details of loudspeaker creation but any musician wants that "sweet" sound and in Bo's case, if you can't find it then you produce it yourself.
Bo had the philosphy of creating high-end loudspeaker systems but at affordable prices! Depends what you call affordable, these were still VERY expensive systems in their day.
Sad about the choice of trade name (SINUS), perhaps it means something different in Swedish although I have hunted down this word and not been able to find any meaning related to sound or audio!
SINUS was Bo's early venture into "better sounding" loudspeaker systems before morphing into RAUNA of Sweden, then Bo went off on his own (creative artist differences with his partners - happens a lot in the music industry) and was the driving force behind Opus-3 and other systems such as the CaveRex, Okko, Huggin & Munin - watch out for these names, loudspeakers that will astound and surprise!
As luck would have it, Bo was getting set to ramp up production and it all ended very suddenly with his sad passing away in 2011.
If you find this sort of information fascinating (I do!) then take a look HERE for more nitty gritty (no dirt band) on Bo Hansen and his exploits in the world of audio.
So what happened Russ? (I hear you ask, head cocked to one side and one eye closed!)
I was offering our complete A 103D system but not much interest once they found out how much it would cost to have them shipped! Bo made the cabinets extremely sturdy and the result was loudspeakers that felt like they were made of steel!
I waited and waited but the "right person" didn't appear from the mists, I have now decided to use these lovely old A 103D's as a component farm - sad but at least someone else can proudly say "Mate, I have Bo Hanssen inside my speaker system ... listen, you can hear him playing!"
So hear we go with this SPARE PART for the SINUS A 103D .... Read and enjoy
