Hello BeoFam!

I know nothing B&O is necessarily inexpensive...  I have been hunting a stand or mount for my Beosound 9000 and I am finding they are near what I paid for the 9000, and just out of my budget right now.  Has anyone tried fabricating your own stands or wall mounts?  I have a few years of motorsport racing under my belt and have had to fab car parts from time to time.  I wouldn't think it would be too bad...  Just wanted to see if anyone here had attempted this in the past or have any ideas to share on the subject. 

Thanks!!

-Tucker

That probably indicates just what a bargain you got with your 9000.

True...  I do think I got a pretty good deal.  What would you consider a fair going rate price for a MK II right now?

STBbrackets.

They make b&o mounts of all description and sometimes remake discontinued ones like BS9000. Also I think they stock or at least know who might have stands for sale.

Granted purchasing just the stands are somewhat pricey even second hand on ebay.

Thanks David,

I have looked at their stuff, and they seem to have great products.  I just can't bring myself to pay that much for a bracket...

sorry to say ...maybe you should buy Sony, marantz,ect ...

B&O parts are pricy and if Ebay is to expencive than maybe you should sell BS.

While I agree that B&O is an expensive brand in general, that doesn't mean you can't be creative in the way you go about purchasing and enjoying the products.  I could spend the money but I guess I am just a frugal person.  I enjoy coming up with new ways to enjoy something older like the 9000.  If you could come up with a new and beautiful way to display your B&O collection for half the price of dinner wouldn't you?  Just trying to "think outside the box".  🙂

I think that TUCKER should have an open mind about how he can better showcase his collection, regardless of his budget!

Anything goes, as long as it is well done.

I'd love to see the result - keep on DIY'ing, Tucker!

Thanks!  Maybe when I get one finished I can make a couple extras and sell them to those who prefer to pay $800 +!   😎  Only joking!  Haha.
