Do remember that the Essence will eventually loose Spotify support.

Do keep in mind that the BL 8000 have a serious foam issue that might render them broken at some point. You might want to research this and check if yours are affected.

I've had Beolab 8000 MK1 & MK2 side by side and struggle to find the different.

peace of mind, the MK2 are going to be much newer, which is a plus!

Hey man :)  thanks for chipping in,

I did not know this very useful to know - why is this? and would you know about the Core having the same issue?

Have looked into this and one of the speakers has recently been repaired in this regard already as recently as July I think , the seller has provided receipts for the repairs which includes a replacement tweeter, reforming etc

Although this now mean the other will go soon so I'll be pre-emptively doing the other one myself before it corrodes the boards - I've found help on this forum already but a little scared going it alone tbh 😠

Hiya ,

def a plus! however it would push my budget beyond 1500GBP seeing as I want a BL2 and will need either a Core or Essence to play through 🙂

Apple fan?

Didn't notice...

Hadn't considered an iPad I don't have one but may be an addition to the setup ...this is becoming an expensive hobby haha!
