Thanks, Lee and w5!

That is extremely accurate. This does not come from a publicly available database I guess?

Anyway, it does give me some margin for negotiation, though I'm a bit reluctant, I'd prefer 2011-13 units.

On the other had, it is always a shot in the dark, no way of telling how heavily they were used.

I have very basic access via a very kind source at B&O Denmark to help people with issues like this on BeoWorld.  A dealer has way more access, but that's because he/she pays B&O a lot of money for it !!!

You don’t hear of many Beolab 9s going wonky at all, no matter what their age. When I bought mine (second hand) a couple of years ago I researched the issue and the only real concern was a low failure rate of tweeters. I bought a pair of tweeters from a very kind gentleman as spares just in case.....

You,ll love them!

Right, so still on the lookout. A pair surfaced with numbers 20002885, so I guess this is also a 2008 set?

I might just go for it, since there aren't many problems with these speakers.

Sorry to bother you again,

I finally went for a set, sold as a 2011 pair from a trusted used reseller. However, serials are 21880594. Are these indeed 2011 units?
