This is from an old tread, but there was made a DeLorean with B&O in it :P

I always thought there was something "back to the future-esque" with this set: the beolab 8000 system and the Delorean were released approximately at the same time and the cdx was released at the same time of the 1st movie. And all of this still look futuristic and awesome, even in 2015...

 

I have the same system and couldn't agree more. What speakers are you using?

You guys know me, I'm very "to each his own" and rarely criticize someone's opinion.

However, EVERYONE IS WRONG on this one.

What would you take from 1985 to 2015?

EVERY MMC1, MMC2, MMC3, MMC4, AND MMC5 YOU COULD GET YOUR HANDS ON!!!!!

Whether you kept them for yourself or sold them on Ebay, you're now set for life.

These are Paradigm Monitor 7. Sounds great for my need plus they have a minimal look. (The casing seems to be vennered with wood, but unfortunately it's not...)

@rich

Getting all MMC1-5 PLUS all MMCE, EN and CL. I think they were still produced as replacement in 1985!

That would be a clever move indeed...

I remember buying an MMC4 in 1986 for $80.  Why didn't I buy 2?  Oh, yeah, and thinking $250 for an MMC2 was expensive.
