I have a yellow gold one sitting here doing nothing - it's close to being thrown out. I mean, who uses a landline in 2019? Worse, who uses something as huge as a BeoCom 2? I can't even remember the last time I used mine and I have/had 3 of time. I think many of us live in a time warp of what we remember used to look good and still can't move on from that notion (which is why I still have them, even though they aren't ever used!).

Even big speakers in 2019? Who needs them? A BeoSound 2 will suffice for more than 99% of people as most people now have homes that simply do not need any more power. You might need speakers to flank your TV, but apart from this, I wonder how many people go out and look for expensive tall standalone speakers?

My most used B&O product? Perhaps my A9! Is there anything I'd be reluctant to sell? TVs? No. A9, probably.

It was. I really don't lust after much B&O at all, particularly older technology. That 'virus' has left my system.

Hi,

I am interested in the BC9500 and maybe a Beo5 if still available. Very kind and generous of you to offer this. Collection no problem, I only live 20 minutes from Plymouth.

I did email you, not sure if you received it.

Hopefully hear from you sometime.

Graeme.

We should probably be mindful to keep the discussion on the decluttering and "beo-bug" hoarding issues and not cross over into the "wanted / for sale" forums -- which require a paid membership.

I love my BV5 (HD) and actually even use it more than any of my other modern TVs. Having said this, not even sure whether I could de-clutter it given its weight...

Also love my BC2 although I never use it. Same goes for my HDR2 and - to a lesser degree - also for my white Beolit 12.

I went through that phase, and even had a little display of 'museum pieces'

I have all that (and much more) in boxes now and keep telling my wife that I will 'declutter' one day.  Problem is that we keep moving house hence I am never sure what I may 'need' in the next place :)

I certainly don't have a landline now/yet but before you toss it, send it to me!

That is nice collection! My local dealer has a similar corner with a few sentimental items too. He has a single BeoVox 2500, loose IcePower amplifiers, BS2,BS6, Serence, Beo1, etc. Always brings a smile to my face seeing this old stuff.

I forgot to mention I also have a deep love for the BeoCom 3 desk phone. I'll never forget seeing one in use at my old dealer's shop way back when and thinking to myself "one day!".

I recently de-cluttered my living room. Got rid of my BL8000, BL2 and BL14 2.1. Replaced it with BL20. A BS2 , unlike Moxxey, would never make me happy. Purchased some Beoplay E6 headphones today. I feel like I want to get rid of them. The sound is just disappointing.

Still got a BC6000, BC2 and a BC5. Except for the BC2, they are still plugged in but do not get used, as I have a VOIP phone. I am just too lazy to remove them. Anyway, I won't find a buyer.
