Since they already launched a new pair of wall speakers, lets hope they re-launch this -

I'm an automotive audio and acoustic engineer. I design loudspeakers and full sound systems for new automobiles. I also dabble with studio, consumer and pro audio projects from time to time.

Talked to my dealer but he did not know anything about new Audiosystem in 2012. Just about a entry level TV that should come in later springtime. Might be under Beoplay and standalone (for the moment)...

I completely agree with you Evan ! This system was personnally the best design from Bang & Olufsen ! 🙂

But seriously , look at those beauties ,  like they just came from the CES 2012 , still fresh looking :-D

I agree and I guess i am lucky to remember these at the time! I remember totally falling in love with the 2500 system in about 1991!!!  It was totally unique!... and it still is!

I guess it's super hard to get excited by BeoLit 12 blocks when we had these beauties over 20 years ago - bit sad really that the world is evolving but Hifi isnt as exciting as it was in the 80s and 90s :'(

Evan.....lovely lovely lovely....stunning

what is it...im not familair with it (to my great shame!!)  its so beautiful.

whenever I walk into my living room n see my Beosound9000 above the fireplace and the Beolab 5's, I feel happy :)

Paul it's the Beosystem 4500 from around 1990, 91, 92 i believe. 

In the movie "National Lamppons Christmas Vacation", the yuppys BM4500 explodes - but that's another story!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely right Evan. The most beautiful speakers I've ever seen and with  a very decent sound.

I'm definitely hooked for life on these babies. The only difference between my setup and the one in the picture, is the speaker - I have a pair of BeoLab 5000s!!!!! 😐

Yes BeoBoy, they are king. 

Tomaz, if you think these look fresh, have a look at a White BeoSystem 4500!

Tod, they started producing them in 1988, I only know because mine were made that year 🙂

Hi Paul, no problem, we will educate you! As Tod already mentioned, that is a BeoSystem 4500, consisting of BeoMaster, BeoCord, BeoGram, BeoGram CD and BeoLab 3000/4500/5000. A brilliant system all around. Here is a link to the famous movie clip
