Hey Beovox141 , thanks for the shout out. Its taken some time to assemble, if you notice on the bottom I'm 1 piece short of a matching 6000 quad setup too. 

The Beocord 5000 is alive now, Its taken some time, but Its a ~weekly listener at this point (I've put a lot of love into it).

Honestly Ive gotten the pieces from all over However, the Beomaster 8000 system I got all at once, Im the 2nd owner, It was non-functional. It took about 6 months to get it to this state.

Cheers!

Fresh off the back of a Skoda - my latest addition! Checking the local classifieds twice a day is starting to pay off 😐 Wasn't something I was looking for but I couldn't pass them up. If I'm honest, I only really wanted the BeoLab anyway.

Now to decide on a set of speakers. Any recommendations on a nice two-way 'bookshelf' speaker? I am thinking about using this purchase as an excuse to finally go after some nice Dynaudio units.

Nice Evan!  Now you have had both Beolab 5000s...

passion / paSHən / noun

It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement, passion is ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind body and soul into something as is possible.

Thanks Tucker 🙂

The guy who sold them to me also has a pristine pair of BL3000s for sale - you could go full Mondrian surround sound! 😕

I am officially VERY JEALOUS ... what a wonderful buy.

This was the first B&O setup I met in the wild.

Together with the @diamond” tweeters.

Next time I travel to Europe I should shop ahead for something like these.

😁😁😁

Now I am officially kicking myself for leaving my BV2500 clones in the US. Would be the ultimate result for that old project - to connect them to an original BeoLab 5000 system.

The funny part is that I haven't really spent much time listening to it other than a short FM demo that lasted only a few minutes! I am super anxious to hear this thing. Waiting on the mail to bring me an aux cord from Steve so I can connect at least an iPod or computer. The seller also made me a deal on an original (read: very very very worn) pair of white(!) BV RL60.2. I have to say that was a very pleasant surprise - years ago I discovered how incredible this speaker is and always considered getting another set. Perhaps I will keep them around for summer time balcony duty 😐

If you need a scout for something in particular - let me know and I'll keep my eyes peeled for you 🙂
