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.
