I agree it would be nice for B&O to celebrate this excellent system.

Perhaps producing a book or feature about the history. Sadly, I somehow think it may just pass by without much fanfare.

I'd love to see some kind of celebration of the 5000 system, but I must admit my doubts of anything materializing... 

I would be happy to borrow my system for display if asked.

To lend it, you mean! Well, mine is not going anywhere 😎

We could lend them some pics of our renovated systems 😁, any of ours will look better than the ones they have in Struer Museum

I hope not.

I await at least some kind of homage, sign of respect to their heritage.The book would be fine, special events in their shops even more...

Of course, it must not be with much fanfare, maybe a pair of BV5000 instead 😁

That's sure, Soren 😕

Do they have a complete system (BM/BL 5000, 2xBV5000, 1xBV3000, 2xBV25000 and Stereo Width Box) in Struer at all? Do you by any chance have any photos of it?

Cheers,

Theomaster

P.S. Maybe Frede is preparing for the 50th anniversary in silence. For example he could offer few copies of his Beolab 5000 system in black, limited series... 👍

I had pics from Struer, a lot, but all lost as my laptop and my phone got stolen, if I remember right the BL/BM 5000 are there without speakers, but I am not sure about it, there is a lot to look at in the museum, what I do remember is that my system looks way better than the one in the museum, when I saw it I really felt bad, the fronts looked like nobody ever tried to clean them, the dials all yellow and push buttons dusty.

I will have to go there again by my next DK visit, I used about 2 hours there and took a lot of pics, between these pics was pics of all the models I have here, the idea was to make an optical comparison but because of the water damages to the house, it was put on the waiting list, and later on my phone and laptop was stolen

Hello Soren & BS5000-fans...

that's the way the BS5000 in Struer's museum looked like in 2012:

No detail pictures taken, though 🙁

OK, now we are already deep in 2017 and I still hope there will be a sign from B&O for the Beolab 5000 50th anniversary.

Somehow I think the new Beosound Shape could be seen as a reincarnation of the Beovox 2500 Cubes. 👍

Somebody who agree? 😎

And maybe the coming Beolab 50 can be seen as reincarnation of Beovox 5000 than?

In this case only BL/BS 5000 Combo still need its representative "follower"

Thanks for the announcement

Despite humans something is hard to kill.

Hope someone will tape the 100 years anniversary celebration giving some of us the possilibility to view it at our return!
