Best furniture for B&O machines..

23 replies

As a poor Danish student, I have to say that some Ikea furniture works well for B&O

I currently use a discontinued model of the long running series of "lack" stereo/tv tables. Two tables together makes exactly the same amount of space that my Beomaster 8000 and Beogram 8002 takes, and I has space underneath for my 5500 components. Um, just needing a shelf above the tables for my Beogram 4002 and forthcoming Beocord 9000 😎

If it has to be good: B&O Attyca FTW

My next thing will be the Dieter Rams Braun music players and speakers.

Now you're talking. 

Braun made, under licence, a Dieter Rams designed version of the Quad ESL57 Electrostatic Loudspeaker.  A fabulous design for a wonderful loudspeaker that still sounds exceptional today, over half a century after it came into production.  And then there's the TS/TG series from the 60s and the Studio 2 series from the late fifties and of course, the iconic SK4 or 'Snow White's Coffin'.  

I have a long standing admiration for Braun and the work of Dieter Rams, who has had an enormous influence on modern consumer product industrial design - just listen to Jonathan Ive of Apple talk about Rams' influence on him and look at the current Apple products.

Oh dear, I'm off to change my Avatar!

This might be of interest to anyone who likes Dieter Rams

Thanks for that..brilliant stuff.

Part of my Dieter Rams & Jacob Jensen collection....Although the Fan was in fact designed by Reinhold Weiss, under the guidance of Rams.

I've got my white BM 2000 (1970's) mounted on a white Ikea 'Lack' shelf with invisible supports. Unfortunately the standard shelf isn't strong enough to take the weight of a Christmas card, so in my case one end is butted-up against a side wall where an extra support for the front edge of the shelf has been concealed.

Still love my Attyca, especially with a white 5500 stack on it.

I have one too, a gift from my friend Anders. I have no place for it right now but I will move to a bigger apartment in the near future. Or at least I hope so. Can't wait to see my Beosystem 7000 on it!

Love the HL 70 - trying to find a white, boxed one on ebay, but they are rare.

This table from Naos holds the Beo4 for the living room.  And my beer.

 

This holds my Beoport. And some other stuff.

And this holds my BeoLink Active.  And some other stuff.

My HIFI was sat inside a Florence Knoll credenza, but now sits upon it's own rack. Talking of Dieter Rams/Braun, here is a recent project to bring this little radio back from the dead..
