IMO it would have to be either a Beosystem 7000 or Beocenter 9500. Both two way aswell so even better with a when controlled by a Beolink 7000.

Those are both 90s.

Late 70s/ early 80s

1. Beomaster 4400 and Beogram 4002 with Beovox M100s. The best sounding.

2.  Beomaster 2400-2, Beogram 4004 and Beovox S75s - the best looking.

3. Beocenter 7000/7002/7007/7700 and Beovox S120s - best value.

I totally agree. I am on the lookout for a 4400 and was thinking the m 150....and the record player...but...if I want to use a CD player in this setup i have no options...do I?

Well there aren't any Cd players from that era obviuosly but you can still connect a cd player to those systems.

If you  read the latest "My B&O" you'll know why Peter gave you those selections 😎

Personally I'd recommend one of the 3000 or 4000 beomasters from the 70's.  Every collector needs at least one of those old beomasters with the slide rules and flip switches! 

I love Beocenters 7XXX series, if you need to use a cd player too think about a beocenter 7700.

Actually I'm using a Beo 7700 with a Beogram CD 3300, best setup in my opinion (Actually I live in year 1983 ) 🀩

 

PS

If you need help in Beo 7xxx I'm here πŸ˜• 

My 'audiophile' system at present is:

Beomaster 4400, Beogram 4000, Beogram CDX and Beocord 5000 (the 70s one). I actually use non B&O speakers with this set up though I would use my M100s but they would dominate the room too much! The CDX has a nice warm analogue sound and works perfectly with the 4400.
