I found the old thread:

/forum/imported-unmapped/beolab-8000-models

Take it with a grain of salt. It is based on sources, but... 😁

Hi mika,

 I did a quick read through the old post - could you elaborate a bit more on the statement that the Beolab8000 without ABL

Should be the more natural sounding version ?

I don't quite get it ! Also, it seems quite difficult to find a pair with such a 'low' serial number?!

Wonder why that is :-)

Cheers

I have never compared them side by side myself (and doubt I would hear any difference). That statement comes more or less directly from Beocentral:

Thank you - well received 

 Just gone through the article.......interesting though.

Maybe owners of those pairs with responding serial numbers hang on to them for reasons mentioned in the article.

I will continue looking for those  :-)
