Mark levinson for audio and panasonic for television

Having just started getting into B&O after many years of high-end audio ownership, that's a difficult question seeing as I'd got really fed up of expensive esoteric hi-fi...

I think I'd probably go for Harbeth speakers again which I'd enjoyed in the past.  Not exactly design icons but incredibly good sound especially vocals and acoustic instruments.

As for source and amps, I'd probably just get something that did the job without costing a fortune and just hide it all in a cupboard!

Deffiently i'd go for Sonos to get multiroom for audio with some decent speakers. For a TV I would probaly end up with a Samsung TV, a Nad surround processor and probably some decent inwall speakers.

I would miss B&O for sure.....

For Audio electronic; the new french Devialet or Revox swiss.For Louspeakers: Kef or B&W.  For TV; Sony or Samsung.

But I prefer Bang & Olufsen. 🙂

Another musing...

If B&O didn't exist, what would you buy as a "high end" Audio Visual treat to yourself?

Would you give up on premium AV altogether? Would you forget multiroom? Would you look for smaller, more portable music devices and take them from room to room?  Would you still buy a premium television? If so, which brand?

A lot of people on the forum are "B&O or nothing" - but if you really, really had to buy non-B&O... what would you buy?

If B&O didn't exist, you wouldn't have asked this question.  😂

I would use control 4 with b and w speakers.

My Music room is all B and W running via a 9300 with a switched amp hidden underneath.

i would love to install control 4 but cannot stand dealer maintained systems and the MLGW interface is the expensive hurdle to get over

Who knows?

I got into B&O by accident. We got no use for the recordplayer you can have it if you want. I got the Beogram 1202 for my then stereo system. Later I saw an ad for a Beogram 2000 and since it was local I decided to have a look and bought it as it was cheap enough for my budget.

Then looking for a stereo for my parents got me a Beocord 9000 and a Beosystem 2000 it actually also led to a Beomaster 2000 and Beocord 2000. I brought the BM and BC to service the next day. Then I started to look for something to put the units on. 3 weeks later I had a full working Beosystem 2000 ('80s). I kept that for 3 years. Then it really got crazy.

Any stereo were used back in the '90s for me. B&O seemed to last and I always liked the design even as young boy it got my interest at my grandparents.

If it was not B&O then maybe some other brand might have been the one to be loyal to. I tried Sony and JVC for a while and Panasonic. Did not do it for me in the long run. The only reason for having Sony is that B&O did no do minidisc or DAT.

There are sooooo many brands that really built some high end stuff to dream about with your ears.

And for listening to e.g. rock concerts with the original volume level (of the concert!) there is nothing that can roughly beat a Klipsch horn! This speaker destroys the house with a small 50W amplifier - unbelievable. If you EVER have the chance to listen to an original Klipsch horn: DO IT! 😁
