So you're the one who likes the green ones!

I do like the colour, i saw the green on 4000's and in person it really strikes me! Will  N E V E R  find a green pair BL1 here though. Australians seem to be more conservative.

In general so are Brits. Can't give'em away over here..silver/black, gunmetal or black/black are just about ok but blue, green or maroon are a disaster.

Not just BL1's though, it applies to all the coloured speakers. I never buy 'em because you've then got to find the right person to sell them to.................. It would appear that he is in Australia!

Yes that's me, Forgot the maroon colour, i'd take that one too! My house is very very bland and modern - a splash of colour and interesting shapes will do the place wonders! I don't understand why people like the black colour it looks terrible to me and is detracts from the look and quality of the aluminium. I suspect those who are like me and buy the wild colours, generally don't want to sell them. I won't be selling! *touches wood*

So is there anyone who can advise on the casing of Beolab 1 or has a pair to sell? I'll give my dealer a buzz tommorrow anyhow and post for reference to anyone else out there in my rare predicament...

There's a blue pair at iconic-av.co.uk👍

Dave,

I sent you like a thousand messages re a set of Beolab 1 that I saw for sale.... Didn't they get through to you? I even replied to your wanted ad....

JD, thanks, i got them, a couple of days ago. I haven't been keeping check of that wanted ad... that pair was in sydney but the seller was not contactable, i watched them on ebay but before i could bid they ended, it seemed VERY dodgy, selling for AUD $3500 through an ebay account with a pathetic picture and description and no feedback... he was uncontactable never the less :(

Why is BL1 so hard to find? I am enquiring about the Blue 1's at iconic, hence why i want to know if it's possible to re-case them!  They are the only BL1's i can see around at the moment! More than av is too expensive and won't ship to australia anyway, they say that B&O don't make the packaging for BL1 anymore... well... yes they do> hehe never mind 😂

I enquired about

Dave

Take heart - I had a twenty year old pair of Beovox Pentas shipped from Sweden to the UK by surface mail in their original B&O crates and they arrived in 100% A1 condition. Get those boxes and you'll be fine.

Good luck :)

Oh that's right, if i am getting them from over seas i will be having them sent in original packs, like i did with my BC1. But there is no guarantee, only insurance.
Didn't you hear about Lee's BL1's being smashed in shipping to a customer? After that he sent a MX tv without any packaging as an experiment and it arrived un scaved!!!
