Beosystem 3000c

[Steve at Sounds Heavenly]

Hi Beoworlders,

Who would like to see a review of B&O’s amazing new Beosystem 3000c? Combining a recreated classic 3000 series Beogram turntable from the 1980s with their latest Beolab 8 streaming speakers, this is a timeless music system that speaks of B&O’s design heritage. Full details to follow soon if you are interested!

Steve.

I must admit I’m struggling with this one.

Beogram 4000 (or 4002, actually…) – absolute classic and a design icon known by anyone interested in audio worldwide

BeoSound 9000 – one of the most instantly recognisable bits of B&O kit and another design icon in its own right

I get the re-creation of both of these, but Beogram 3000? Really? It’s a middle of the range and unremarkable turntable from the last generation of B&O decks and the chief selling point I can see for picking it as a candidate is that there are plenty kicking around and suspect very few people will be bothered about a hundred vanishing off the market!

I’ve no doubt that the system will sound great and it looks lovely, but this is straying dangerously close to the UK comedian Harry Enfield’s “I Saw You Coming” shop sketches, for my liking.

Come on B&O – how about something NEW for your centenary?!

They have completely lost their minds if they think that price is compelling.

Well, it looks beautiful & no doubt it will sound absolutely stunning. Also a very nice solution to modern streaming requirements.

Price wise it is completely out of my league.

As an aside, will MMC cartridges be re manufactured for this product? Would they also become available to buy for those of us that still own older B&O turntables?

 

just a thought….

Once again very nice, beautiful, no doubt it will sound very decent, but the price….  I would call it comedy pricing but I’m no longer laughing. Every time I see another example of B&O contriving exclusivity with absurdly high prices my love for them dies a little bit more.

Thanks guys,

I don’t think I have ever seen another B&O product that has caused such concern amongst B&O owners and fans as this one.  I hope that B&O’s management are reading this forum (and the other ones where I have posted and received similar comments about the 3000c).

Full product review to follow soon, with the pricing situation to be covered in full…

Kind regards, Steve.

The Kings new clothes,perchance?

The last time I saw anything the same style as those ‘speakers,it had my friends ashes in it!

“I saw you coming” seems to be B&O’s current marketing strategy,and as an enthusiast of many years,it saddens me,alas.

Hey ho.

Regardless of the story behind it, I find the pricing quite insulting. It feels as though B&O’s marketing team has lost touch with its long-standing customers, despite this being a niche product produced in limited numbers.

Then again, who am I to judge? Perhaps they’ve carefully studied that specific segment’s willingness to pay.

Still, I can’t help but feel disappointed, a sentiment that has increasingly defined my relationship with B&O, despite being a loyal user since the early 1980s
