After discovering a few kids are interested in B&O on my Formula SAE team, I decided to bring my Serene to the shop yesterday. I just thought I would post the reaction..
Looks to me like the OSU SAE workshop needs, oh, a BM2400 with an iPod cable hooked up to the tape input and a pair of S45-2s.

I tried already. But S45-2s couldn't handle 12 hours a day of uninterrupted rap anyway..

... I was inspired by his Beolab 6000 system and my first B&O became an old Beovision 7700 and a Beomaster 2400-2 at the age of 6 years 😁
I bought a Beosound Century in very good condition for my son when he was 4 weeks old. Couldn't resist the offer 😁 He's now 2 1/2 months old. Completly disassembled the unit, cleaned, serviced and reassembled it. Now my son can hear his sleeping music with style. 😐

Wow! That's very impressing! My son would easily dissassemble the unit, but he would never be able to do the rest! 😁
Sorry for writing a little bit misleading. I meant I completly disassembled the unit, cleaned, serviced and reassembled it, not he 😁
Pretty good that the unit is wall mounted so, at the moment, he can't reach it. Otherwise he would really disassemble the unit. 😎

I would love to have a Century as a baby back in '93!
When I was a small child (1-3 years), I would fondle with the switchbank on my Father's Beomaster 4400 (mounted in kitchen table hight, just low enough to get my small hands on the buttons!), I've always been fond of touching real quality!
After a lot of questions on this forum I have decided Santa Clause to be early.
He just brought me a Beolab 2 to extent my B&O collection:
I always thought my Beolab 8000's where lacking of some bass in dance music, or songs with a band (like the eagles, duffy, etc.). I always missed some power/ depth in the music and hoped to get this with the beolab 2. Otherwise, for light jazz and acoustic music it was great (like katie melua or Jack Johnson), so I didn't want to ruine this with a lot of bass.
When the Beolab 2 arrived I had installed it by attaching the beolab 8000's directly to the beolab 2.
I left the soundsettings as it was with just the beolab 8000's and just gave it a try with some kinds of music.
I have to admit that it was very boomy and in the Eagles farewell tour e.g. Also tried some dance music and it was so loud I had to turn it down.
I tried to adjust the settings on the back of the sub and in the menu of the beocenter and took a couple of hours (!) to adjust a little and relisten the same song. After being satisfied with the sound go to the next song and if necesary adjust a little bit more.
After a couple of hours the sound was absolutely amazing. Testing the farewell tour of the eagles (in HD) was if I was there in the concerthall. A lot of depth in the songs, good deep bass, but never been boomy at all. Even dance music like david guetta result in a deep and even thight bass. But also listening to katie melua hasn't decreased in soundexperience. It was even improved and more bright because the lab's 8000 where releaved of the basses.
So I do understand now why some people call it boomy or slow, but I think they have never tried to set it up properly.
After taking some time to set it up, it is absolutely amazing how full the sound can be in the whole room. It's absolutely amazing for all types of music!

Also here Santa came today, a ragged motorbike driver (Mexican Postman) came to my door and brought me this.
THE SOUND OF PERFECTION CD.
Came well packed and inside the packet an original envelope with barcode and sparepart number, never opened, and in there, never listened to by human ears, or touched by human hand
Of course I Loaded it emidiately in the CD player, listening as I am posting (2nd time) listening I mean not posting😂
With the help of Leslie I was able to get this amazing recording, and forthermore order the 6 CD set that I lost in the last Prizedraw.
I'm Happy its Xmas

They look great don't they Søren?
I still have a double album (LP) from B&O here waiting for ya😁
I like, Søren 🤒
That double album would be the test record for Beolab 8000? loaded with different songs, the inner sleve and fold-out pages containing pictures of the 1981 product catalogue or is it the one from the late 70's with test tones?
This one!
Got that one too, I see you have a couple 😎
