Hello from Los Angeles Beoworld Forum,

I just finished putting the finishing touches on a complete Beomaster 8000 system and thought I would share.

Beomaster 8000

Beocord 8000

Beogram 8000

Beovox MS 150

Its really a gorgeous system in rosewood, The MS 150's may instigate a minor earthquake in my apartment building but that's to be expected. 

I dont really know the rarity of a system like this, but I can say every ounce of this functions perfectly, no scratches dings dents, etc. I've carefully tried to polish the beogram plastic hood, but im afraid to get too aggressive with it. I have a pair of 20cl styli in good condition to match. 

The only real issue I have is the speaker mesh covers which have faded a little and look tired in a few places. Any thoughts on where to buy some matching speaker fabric?

My only regret is I dont know what to work on next now that this is in.

Any Ideas on what to do next with a system like this?

Glad to share, I'm a long time reader first time poster. 

Cheers!

Just gorgeous.  My ideal system from the time.  I got somewhat close to it, back in the day -- a Beomaster 6000, a Beocord 8000, and a Beogram 3404 (iirc).  And a rosewood table, though not that exact model.  I miss the B&O of those years.

Enjoy your beautiful system.

That looks awesome. I am still sad that I sold my complete Beosystem 8000 but with all the B&O I have there no space as it is very big!

Well done though, so great to see one with the complete stand etc.

Great system.

I sold my 8000 system last year after umming and aaghing for months about selling it. It just took up so much room and my partner hated it. I still wonder occasionally if i should have kept it. I bought it from 'Peter', the well known and much respected moderator on this site and I believe he went through similar feelings of loss. In fact, I'm not so sure he hasn't recently bought another Beomaster 8000!

Congratulations! Beosystem 8000 is my all-time favourite product from Struer, yours looks gorgeous also because it includes the original SC80 cabinet.

Hi John,

I thought he might have done! Did you eventually sell the Pentas, by the way - they were a real steal?

I hope you and Fliss are well.

Hi Cleve - both well thanks and hope you're the same?

Pentas went to a local B&O fan who had another pair already. Glad they stayed in the collecting community but they were difficult to shift.

Finally made the Lab 5 upgrade and haven't looked back. Don't think I'll go down the vintage route again but you can never say never!
