Wow, Geoff you've certainly got a nice collection growing there! Do you get most of these in Ebay in Australia or is there somewhere else ? I often check ebay but there never seems to be much on there.... it would be a closer option for me thats why i ask....

Laurence.

Thanks Laurence ....  I have bought a number of units from Ebay Australia but you do have to wait patiently for something to come up that you really want.  Apart from the new units which have been purchased from the local agents, the rest of my collection has mainly come from the generosity of local B&O people here in Australia.  They really have surprised me with what they have been prepared to part with at zero cost.  Still, if you bear in mind that spares are almost impossible to get and skilled time costs a fortune, many do look at the local dump as their sole option and are only too happy to find someone who will make better use of their old treasure.  I have also picked up some of my more obscure items on my frequent visits to South Africa - that seems to be a good source for old B&O equipment.  Lots of contacts and plenty of searching around continues to be the best solution.

Keep in touch

Regards

Geoff

1 more.  Lab 3s in the kitchen nook area.  Connected to sonos via outboard DAC.

I love seeing how others have decorated their homes, especially when there's B&O involved 😁

My living room looks like this:

It is a bit crowded and I would love a bigger apartment, so my dining room table can be in another room, and my home cinema setup can get it's own room.

My "office":

And finally my kitchen, (where I still haven't bothered painting the cablepanel 😳)

Thanks Geoff,

Always interested as to how some astute collectors put together their collections...  I guess when looking for things, I just need to be a little patient and try to find them closer to home if possible... 

Thanks for your input...

Laurence.

Here is a little more color.

I think we need more "color-setups", after a quick look on all the pictures

Great thread.

Another view, this one has changed a lot but no pics at the time:

Yes I upgraded a month ago but I'm not sure if the room got any better. The BV 7-55 is a bit big for my taste.

I even tried a black fret to make the speaker "invisible".

Which one do you prefer, silver or black fret?

Yes black is very nice and match BL8000

This one is my favorite!  I'm waiting a few months for my setup from Frede!
