I have a limited budget and zero exposure to B&O's active speakers.
I have a cherished set of BeoVox MC120.2's I am refurbing a BeoCenter 9000 to run with them.
Question is, what is the better speaker vs. Better investment between a set of Penta's or BeoLab 1's.
In Australia at the moment, you can get a set of Penta's off eBay for around AU$1 - 1.5K and BeoLab's run out at AU$2.5 - 3.5K
Pentas and Lab 1's offer completely different sound sensation so it willl depend on your taste!
Pentas offer old fashioned, smooth, easy listening, old fashioned B&O sound whereas Beolab 1's offer the more modern cold clinical sound, much preferred by today's hifi nuts. Lab 1's are very bass light for their size but improve dramatically with a little help from a Beolab 2, with the emphasis on "little" help.
This was recently discussed somewhat here: /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/beolab-1s-to-buy-or-not-to-buy
