I visited a Brookstones shop in San Diego-USA, in 1995 and saw a Beocenter 2500. At this moment, I knew I was starting to get addicted by B&O...
In 1996, I got a set of second-hand BL8000s, that I refurbished over the following years. Then in 1998, I got my first new BS Ouverture. I will always remember that moment, when my heart was pumping so fast at the sight of the B&O parcel being delivered at my doorstep.

It was 1977-- a college friend had just gotten a BeoMaster 2400 receiver, BeoGram 4002 turntable and pair of BeoVox P30 panel speakers. I was in love but too broke to buy the same set-up for myself.
Over the years I've aquired several B&O systems and products, but still longed for that system my college friend owned.
About two years ago I came in contact with a person who restored vintage B&O, and I finally acquired that original "object of my desires." I have to say, I love it as much- maybe more- than all my modern B&O systems.
Great question. Brings back a lot of nostalgia.
Around 1996 I saw the BL8000 for the first time. Since then, I had been dreaming about these speakers. 11 years later I could afford them. I guess I will always like them...
BS2300 which is still in use after 10 years. I updated the BL2500 with the Aluminum Fronts to freshen up the look. Never regretted the purchase, I am still in love with it.

Beolab 5's. I saw these speakers two years ago in a B&O store in tyson's corner, VA and fall in love with the design and quality of the bang olufsen products. Now i own beolab 5's, beolab 3's, 7-4, beosound 9000, beosystem 3 and more.
Beomaster 1900, linked to Beogram 4002 in the late 70s at my parent's shop.
So exotic, between the Pioneer, Marantz and Sony stuff.
It has been love at first sight.

My B&O Icons:
Infected at the age of 13 by a BG 4000 in Dad's Hifi shop.
The first time I saw an Avant turn I became a fan of B&O.
The first B&O product that really made my jaw drop was the MCP 6500, and that was what made me make my first B&O purchase, a MX3000 in white with the BL1000, and I was hooked !
One year later i bought a Beosystem 6500 in white with Beovox pentas (This system I have donated to my mother now so I still get to play with it).
