Welcome first off,

You have quite a range of choice there. I think you would be better suited to a stereo setup instead of the Beosound 1. The Beolab 8ks are what I would buy, the Lab 3s are great too. The 6ks might not be enough for such a large room.

Will you be using the sony amp to power B&O speakers or are you planning on getting a B&O amp?

Most membrs on this site will, like me, probably spring for more B&O.

Welcome to BeoWorld! 😁

First entry on a budget and you are set on active speakers.

Unless my calcs are off 20m2 =~ 215 SQFT or roughly about 15'-0 by 15'-0 for a square room.

The 6000's should be fine in a room that size, and would be the least expensive actives discounting the BL4's. To drive them, I would recommend a link and a Beo4 remote. Your budget should be safe and you would have a nice entry level "active" system that you could expand in the future with more stacking pieces if you so decided. (e.g.) Beocord, Beogram, CD... If you wanted an all in one solution, then perhaps a

What about used Beosound 3000 + Beolab 6000. It is new to me buying used audio even more so if it is already out of production.

 How do Beolab 3 compare with 6000? I like them because the are small.

I can't really comment on the BS3000 or its peers... not my gig! But, I am sure someone will be happy to offer advice. Also, I am in the states, so pricing will vary... I assume you are "overseas?"

The BL3's are smaller, but are more expensive than the 6000's. If size is important (and budget), you may want to look at the BL4's...

Of course, maybe the most important thing for you to do is establish what your budget is going to be. That would help myself, and anyone else to steer you in the right direction.

Why do you want B&O? Sound quality will be better than your present set up mainly due to the speakers. I imagine the Sony amplifier is probably quite good though a model number could be helpful. Does it have a pre-amp output? What sources are you using? Is it your PC or Mac and the amplifier? If so, maybe all you need is a

Welcome to Beoworld!

Personally I think the Beolab 3's are a great improvement over the Beolab 6000's. If size is an issue I would consider a pair of these or get a pair of Beolab 4000's. I have no experience with a Beosound 3000, but I do own one of its predecessor's a Beosystem 2300. For the same sort of money you could get a Beomaster 6500 / 7000 with a Beogram CD 6500 / 7000. I also own a Beosystem 7000 and if I was in your shoes I would choose the latter option.

WOW! I completely blanked on my favorite active speaker! 😂

Highly recommended and within the same price range +/- as the 6000's!

Love to read your answers!

Lets go from beginning. I am looking B&O because I want a better looking stereo as my old one. I want a small system and i also prefer smaller speakers. I want CD, Radio FM and aux.

I have 2000 eur so I can buy new Beosund 1 or some combination ob used B&O. I absolutely adore BL3, secound option will be BL4000. From main systems i like BeoSound 3000. Is there any other system for me to look at??

I bought a Beosound 2300 (looks like the BS3000) and BL6000 as my first B&O stuff. It looks beautiful and sounds good. I think the BL6000s are very underrated.
