My new B&0 music system

22 replies

5 years ago I bought my first B&O music system, the beosound 1. I was 25 years old which in B&O years is an average of about 5 years old. Lets face it, these products are not aimed at people in their 20's. My friend had bought the century in 1995 and i would find excuses to go to his house all the time just  to listen to it and fiddle with it. Since then I have grown some kind of obsession with these products. what I like about B&O is the fact that they are the only company who's products have such a long life span(10 years)the quality, and of course the design.I suppose that the beosound 1 is a great product to ind=duct someon into the B&O world...but it is time to move on to something different...After non stop visits to different B&O stores here in athens I was going to buy the Beosound 4 and the beolab 3's....but I have changed my mind. I will be getting the Beosound 3200 and the Beolab 4000 speakers. I have tried to find reasons not to get the 3200...but I just love this products to death. I love it's weight. I love the materials. Now I know why B&O wont let go of it's design...It is the most luxurious music system I have ever seen. It just screams quality. I know that it's just a music system and that everyone is going crazy over the BS5, but why not keep things simple? I still love cd's and i still buy them. And B&O make music systems first and foremost!

The reason why I have chosen the BL4000's over the BL3'S is not only the price....but the design as well. I just can't warm up to the way they look. They are not beautiful to look at. Interesting yes. Beautiful no. I do not think that they sound better than the 4000's...but that is a matter of taste. I like the crystal clear rich sound of the 4000's. Too bad I can't find them in green.
 The 4000'd sound great and look great! I think they are beautiful.The sound is just what I was looking for. Just 2 more weeks of waiting...and I will be so happy.
 

Congratulations on your new system. The 4000s never cease to amaze me with their sound quality....and they look as good as they sound.

The 3200 is a perfect match for them and I completely agree with your comments about it.

 

Good choice!

I will do the same.... actually I did 🙂

 

What a great story, Foamywax. You're not alone in buying into the B&O world at a young age. I, for instance, bought my first B&O product, a Beocenter 9300, when I was 22... All my friends thought this was a mad decision, but I've enjoyed it for a little over 12 years now. And like Dave and yourself, there are some fellow Beoworlders who did the same.

Beolab 4000's are great by the way.

Congrats!

 

I still consider myself fairly young, at 27, and I got my first b&o when I was 15.

It was a Beocenter 2300 with beolab 2500 speakers. Man I was a happy teenager! 

Well done Foamywax. Great choice.
Did you know that there are stands to hold the 4000s at the same 15 degree angle as the 3200? They look really good together.
