I love ALL products designed by David Lewis, he was a really great designer. His spirit is always around me in my home.

R.I.P.!

Hi Robert,

I think the Penta were designed by Gideon and Lone Lindinger-Lowy, not by David Lewis.

Best regards,

I always liked the AV 9000, Beosound Overture, Beolab 8000, Beolab 6000 combo. The Beosound 9000 is another favorite. David Lewis designed many B&O icons during his career. Sound wise the Beolab 5 is on top. The design took time to get use to.

Yes -both the Penta's and the Beovox/Beolab 3000/4500/5000 was designed by Gideon and Lone Lindinger-Lowy. A pity that they didn't do more work for B&O.

I kept scrolling through the responses expecting to find a beocenter 2 and no mention!!!!

I thnk my favourite is the Beocenter 2, I love it- a timeless piece and one which people always comment on when walking into our living room.

Beosound 2: simple, marvellous sound, long playing time before recharging the battery.

You may enhance the system storage capacity up to a Terabyte (with a little help of 499 SD-cards in addition of the 2 GB SD-card inside)

There are not many mp3 players out of 2001 still working fine.

It's a pitiy that I can't use it on bicycle, because the sound quality shows no difference between virtual reality and real life with a deadly result, if you realise that the sirene in a radio drama belonged to an ambulance car crashing with you a few seconds later ... 🙁

Most of his stuff are my favorites! 🤒

I keep switching back and forth between these two ways of setting them up - loving how Lewis' BV8 matches the Beosystem range from decades earlier.
