I think as long as you make sure you express your own opinion, threads like this is most amusing and interesting. I can not say that I have read through the whole thread, but it would be interesting if you would like to share your own opinion about the BL4000, 6000. We all know that dealers have sold them for many years, but what is your personal opinion?

Have a nice day

I think my opinion carries significantly less weight because I'm a (gasp!) DEALER!!! So most of what I say is designed to obfuscate the truth and trick people into buying things! 😜

I say buy what you like. Don't overvalue the money in your pocket versus what it can do for you. You can't take it with you.

And as far as value for the money, don't forget 2nd hand items too.  I have purchased all of my B&O pre-loved.  I got my first set of BL6000 for $1500 USD (like-new) and my second set for $750 in great shape too.  I think for that money they sound fantastic!

BTW a pair of BL8000s cost 3,995€ in Finland at the current 22% (soon to be 23%) VAT, which is pretty much exactly £3400 at current rates.

Apparently they still sell to support three shops in Helsinki alone, two of them less than hundred meters apart!

 

How much are they in the US?

Last year I saw the tag at the $5,500-$5,700 mark.  (£3763-£3900)

This topic is interesting, since I guess most of us has spent a lot of money B&O equipment, but basically its not about the money..

To connect to Kokomos post, about cars, I drive an Alfa 166 since some years now, and I never had a car for this long, and as Jeremy Clarkson said in his test on the show "Top Gear".

" If you don't judge the car from what it does, but from how it makes you feel, this is the car for you" 

I think thats basically the same with B&O, its not about the specs, its about the feeling..that puts a smile on your face when you pick up the remote and turn it on..or like with cars, when you drive that extra mile just to enjoy the feeling.

And from an financial viewpoint, I never feel I have to get a new TV or car every year, it saves money in the end.. ;-)

/P

Nice. 😐 My daily driver has been an Alfa 164 since 2001. The car itself is 19 years old. A new V6 Camry can outrun and probably even outhandle the 164, but as you said, the feeling is what counts.

Hi

TripEnglish:

I know you are a dealer. That is why I think you probably could lite up the situation a bit about what stuff is worth the price (your own opinion of course). I think most dealers I have met are very reliable concerning this. Do not worry, if you claim that something in the B&O model park stinks, I will not tell anybody😁. It is always OK to have an opinion.

I do not know about Primare so much (I do not buy HiFi that much). From what I heard it is a solid brand. I have found you a link with swedish prices. I have no idea if they are good or bad. Swedish money usually is about 1/10 of a Euro, so I can see that it is definitely not a cheap brand.
