Hi Razlaw,

 

 

BL 5 from 2007: 45% off

 

BL 5 new: 20% off

 

 

Nothing else is acceptable!

45% off the current price of a new pair, or 45%  off of the 2007 price? Price I am currently being offered is 20% off the 2007 price.

45% off the current price of a new pair.

I found this on ebay:

You need to remember that those figures are borderline for the dealer losing money simply by selling on Pair A, then buying visually identical new ones to replace them- albeit with minor tech changes,

Only when there is a distinct new version (think BV7 versions) will dealers reduce prices 'to clear'.

Lab 5's from 2007 will be fine to demonstrate and take orders for new ones - why would a retailer remove/deliver/replace the old ones at a loss ? 

Quite literally, a waste of time & money.

 

I have to agree, I don't think a 45% discount is reasonable. If I was the dealer, I wouldn't take such a hit.

I think the 20% off the 2007 price is pretty good, as long as the full warranty is supplied as well.

They are including a 1 year warranty, not the normal 3 year warranty.

Of course they would not sell if they did not profit on it... But the buyers interest lies in the price. And I believe they have quite large margins on the price, and they can surely buy new ones for the same or less(demo units and all..) - and sell those at a higher price.

Frankly I would never pay 20% off for such an old system that probably was on 24/7 for all those years. Perhaps carried around to events and previous customers.

I would ask a 20% discount on a new set instead then. Or much more as I said before for the older set.

B&O are offering great incentives at the moment, go on ask for at least 20% off a new pair 😁

You know you want them 🙂

On another organ note! Just played Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor on our Lab5s, mind blowing!!

The organ is known as the King of instruments, maybe the Beolab 5s are the King of speakers!

................now you've inspired me.

Where has that CD of the Saint Saens Organ Symphony gone?

That last movement on Lab5s, musical heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I just a purchased a pair of lab5s today :-)! A demo pair since july 2009 got a great deal.

64500dkk(about 8600eur) with delivering and a two year warranty :-)

Hopefully they match my bv11! But I don't get a chance to try before moving out in march.
