I have fond memories of my first visit to a B&O dealer in Cardiff in 1999 I think. I was given a black and white B&O brochure book containing the latest products with some stories. It contained three memorable stories - one page had a horizontal BS9000 hung from the ceiling of a bar, the second story i remember was of a famous Scandinavian photographer who lived with his young family in a house off a sandy beach on an island off Sweden (Gotland I think) and finally a black and white image of a young boy playing in a living room in Japan in front of pair of BL6000s and I think he was the son of a Japanese priest. It was possibly a 1999 or 2000 publication. Does anyone have a copy or know where I could get a copy?

Hi!

This is my first B&O brochure (1998-1999).Since then,I used to receive from my dealer on yearly basis,by snail mail.Until 5 years ago,with change of management,no more hard copies.And,yes,it was in Croatian language.

Yes, THAT is the ONE....! Brings back a lot of fond memories of discovering B&O. 

Didn’t have the money as a student but I still drooled over this for hours. 

Might try and contact B&O Denmark to se if they could send me a copy.

My favourite manual, and one I do not have, is the US 1979 manual. For gold and silver members it is available

And this one(I guess from 1992) i had to buy.Paid 80 belgian francs,at one of the tax free shops at port of Antwerp.And when i saw first Beovision in the flesh,I definitely felt in love with B&O design.By that time I could not afford it,but I promised to myself,one day or another you will get B&O...and dreams came true in 1998
