We have just seen the last of the Beosound 1s leave the factory. The last few are being sent to the dealers. Catch them whilst you can. The 3200 is also now stopping production. The problem has been the discontinuation of the CD mechanism and the anticipated cost of re-engineering these models.

Mh, I am sorry to hear that specially regarding the 3200. But I hope the design will be implemented into new products.

Sad, I really loved the design (although in this digital age rapidly outdated). Owned for many, many years a Beocenter 2300 which you could see like a predecessor design wise. Really loved it.

I am sad to see the Beosound 1 go as it is the best design for a lifestyle system I have ever seen. They should has just added ML connections and it would have been good for another 10 years.

Time to start collecting grills!

Beocenter 6?

Hopefully they have something new for use. I would like to see a new Beolab that isn't an acoustic lens.

Also I think the changes that I hope are coming are over due. I have very little interest in any of the Beosound range so I hope they have something new that plays CDs (chances? low).

I believe they are preparing to move more of the production out of Struer... Only the top-end B&O is going to be made in Struer, all others in their factories in Eastern Europe and China... Soon, the Beocenter 2, Beosound 4 and Beosound 9000 perishes from the catalogue...
