Hello everybody,

 

my daughter is turning 15 and has no stereo worth mentionning right now. I would like to buy her a used one (I cannot afford more). We have a Beocenter 9300, 2500 and Beomaster etc. 5500 at home.

 

Any suggestion that would

a) make a girl with good taste and interest for arts happy

b) would be a nice complement to the existing collection

c) would not look bad later in a student room

will be greatly appreciated

PS she has already a mac MP3 player and surely will link her computer to it later

 

Be seeing you

François

i when i was fourteen got a Beosound Ouveture and i cherish it to this day! I got a pair of beolab 2000 with it. Then i got an Avant and it has been master linked to that ever since. it looks good now and plus you can plug your iPhone into it. But i would either go for a beosound 8 or when it comes the new beosound A8

BS8 is also a good idea... and they've just been discounted.

The Beolit 12 by a mile. Tough, portable and ready to play the type of media she probably already uses. Amazing sound for such a small unit and no wires/batteries to worry about.

Fair to say it is of a more feminine design as well.

Agree, but be careful, the Beolit 12 will attract music interested boys, as flies to horse sh1t.😁
