I noticed that Grundig are re-issuing the Audiorama speakers from the 70's:
The hanging model is pretty cool looking.
What B&O products from the old days would we like to see a re-release of? I'd vote for beogram 4004, anything with rosewood and glass on it. Beocenter 9000 with an ipod dock instead of the tape deck? (and two-way control of the ipod of course)
BeoSystem 7000, AV9000, CX100. 🙂
Location: Hampshire, England
Definitely updated BeoLab 4500 + 5000, with a larger display matching the colours of BV7's display.
It drives me mad to see all BeoVisions now being flat & wall-mountable, without any BeoLab to go with in terms of design & flatness. I think the latest catalogue shows BeoLab 5000 with BV7 wall mounted, it looks splendid! To me the BeoLab 5000 is the most beautiful speaker in the world, with BeoLab 8000.
There is no need for bass anymore in wall mounted speakers in a surround setup which has BeoLab 2 for taking care of the bass, they could make them extra-thin with ICE amps & a closed cabinet design. And you should be able to change the cover colours like on BeoLab 2500.
My B&O Icons:
BeoCENTER 9500 with an iPod/mp3 player dock in the place of the cassette mechanism, and with BeoX interaction with the unit; the CD player should also take DVDs/Audio DVDs and SACDs. An integrated harddisk would allow you to drop music onto it; the unit should connect with the Internet in order to pull down Gracenote CDDB track information.
Digital and Powerlink out to speakers.
The goal would be to create a simple to operate, truly high-end universal player in a classic look.
(Wrote Beosystem first, meant Beocenter, of course).
Definitely a Thumbs Up for the Beolab 4500 and Beolab 5000 for speakers.
As for TVs, re-intro of the BV1, AV9000 or other MX version will be most desirable.
Music centers will be the lengendary BC9000, 9500 etc.
Phones will be the beocom 3.
Of course the re-issue price of all the above must be kept affordable. 🤒
However, judging on the Q&A in this whole forum, the most important re-issue are still all the spare parts to up-keep our old precious B&O especilly seeing that alot of us are always in search of obslete parts eg: power supply unit for MX5500, original display covers for Beolab Penta 2🙁
abit greedy on my wishing list.
