I was thinking about exchanging old pair of BeoLab 8000 MKI for a pair of new BeoLab 8002. Slovenian dealer is willing to trade in my old speakers which are in very good condition for only 600,-€ Do you mean this is a honest deal?
Did someone allready trade in a pair of BeoLab 8000 for BeoLab 8002 and how much did you get fora pair of MKI version BeoLab8000?
Here in the UK you would expect to make at least double or possibly treble that amount by selling privately, so upgrading in the way you describe doesn't seem very cost-effective to me!

I think Slovenian dealer would like to earn money double:=(

Not at all. Slovenian dealer is non-profit organisation!

Why do you want to "upgrade"? B&O claim no performance benefit with the newer speaker and, cosmetically, they are all but identical.
I wouldn´t call the bizarre dot under the bottom of the textile cover of the 8002 "identical". Makes the whole thing look totally post-modern. Like the small ball on top of "La Conica", the Aldo-Rossi-Espresso-Maker made by Alessi. Spoils the design. Sorry, just my 2 cents.

tought ice would be a benefit isn't it then?

Current thoughts are that the amp change is for regulatory reasons (power dissipation in standby) and maybe a cost saving in manufacture. B&O themselves claim that "the sound remains the same".
We're still waiting for someone to post an objective side by side review of 8000 vs 8002.
If you have a spare ~€2500 burning a hole in your pocket, I'd personally spend it on something else

I agree! Looks like someone broke into the Louvre and glued a clown nose on the Mona Lisa!
Hmmm... to make matters worse -it appears that the official B&o pages show photo-shopped versions of BL8000 pics in the various setup scenarios!
DOUBLE POST! 😡
