Favorite David Lewis design

35 replies

Not my idea of a B&O TV, but exactly what a B&O advert should be like in my book. Form and function, not form, more form and marketing rubbish.

BS9000 and BeoVision 5 in my opinion.

Obviously BV10 and BV9's are descendants of the BeoVision 5, the BV5 was the design - classic B&O πŸ™‚

My all time favourite is the BeoSystem 5000/5500/6500 but is that Jacob's design? Im not sure.  I also love the CX50 lil speakers as they are cute!

Yes -that's Jacob Jensen design 😐

And now to my favorite Lewis design:

1:Beolab 8000

2:Beolab 1

3:Beosound 2300/2500/Ouverture etc.

4:Beosound 9000

5:Beovision 10

Oh my gosh, I forgot the Beo4!!!! The nicest remote ever because i use it without having to even look at it  but I do like looking at it!!! I love it.

I must be one of the few who didn't like the BS9000  just too big for me  (when compared to my iPod ;)

It is definitely the greatest CD changer ever - but I never understood the need for a CD changer. Highest possible points to Mr. Lewis for thinking out of the box though!

I think I'll pick the Beolab 8000. I never thought I'd get a pair, but I have one now, and they have really grown into me. A perfect compromise between performance, footprint and non-intrusiveness. They might not sound as good as my Pentas, but they are good enough, and blend into any environment - yet catching your eye every time, from any direction.

I would pick the Beolab 5.  The 6000 and 8000 are nice but the sound is compromised.  The 5 is not.

 

Are we sure the Beosound 8 is David's work?  It seems more of a Torsten Valeur design to me?   

 

 

Beovision 8.

Beosound Century, Beovision 4000, Ouverture and Avant

1) Beosystem 2500/2300

2) BeoLab 6000

3) BeoVision 5

All have become design classics.

In the 1980's the MX and the Penta

 

In the 1990's the Beolink 7000, BeoLab 8000 and BeoSound 9000

 

In the last decade: The iconic BeoLab 5
