So now that nicotine color that I've spend hours cleaning off countless units, is now called Champagne as the latest fashion? Brings my mind back to all the 1960s and 1970s homes where everyone smoked all the time. Intended or nicotine, it still looks horrible. I can almost smell it.

Also, Martin, if they’re getting 10 kEUR each, you need to up your prices! 😄
And hold back on the cleaning.

The topic is never what is the asking price, but rather what is the selling price. And so we will see, I guess relatively soon, was it sold out at 10K.
I personally need to save momey to even consider a pair of Beolab 18 and am not ashamed of that, but also not frustrated that someone might comfortably pay for a 4000c Champagne. ;) As a matter of fact, I admire this commercial-social experiment by B&O.
Jeg er fuldstændig enig med dig. De gamle trænsamlinger var meget smukkere og alt det sorte er forkert.

Could we take a guess at which one of their back catalogue units they will be "recreating" one hundred of in five years?
Perhaps Beomaster 4400 (and call it Beomaster 3000c and give it a rose-pink tint)?

My vote would be for the BeoMaster 6000 quad. The “buttons” could then match the 4000c.And the top surface could have a smoked rose-pink tint 😄Could we take a guess at which one of their back catalogue units they will be "recreating" one hundred of in five years?

Costwise.. I wonder how much margine they make on a set of 10.000€. Taking in account the manhours for searching for the units, the design of the cabinet, design of wood for the unit, totally restoring/resolding/marketing/.. I have a slight feeling that they're not going to make much profit even if the sets are 10.000€

I have a 4000/4002 in need for some love in my garage. Guess I will have to call them and see, if I can get 1000-2000€ for it :)
No, I really like the idea, that they are creating a "new" turntable. I would love it even more if they did a new and AFFORDABLE turnbtable instead; I think there would be a market for it.
My thoughts exactly.And that counts for the limited blue colour version of the Beosound 1 as well. The marketing costs alone far outweigh the profits of that one. Not counting all other costs. A larger strategic perspective must be at play here.Costwise.. I wonder how much margine they make on a set of 10.000€.
