Earle:

I'm interested to see what other people have to say. If you had the chance to play ONE song for a friend, to demonstrate the sound dynamics of a B&O speaker, what would it be?

 Perhaps I could come up with a tracklisting of the ultimate demo-CD!

 BTW, my song of choice would probably be Hotel California by The Eagles (Hell Freezes Over acoustic version)
 

Two appropriate suggestions for B&O perhaps, "Goodbye" or "Those Were The days" by Mary Hopkin!

😕   

hahaha

OH YOU ROTTER !!! :) 

Try Fanfarra from the album Brasileiro from Sergio Mendez on Beolab Penta's. It is a song with 100 drummers, recorded in a parkinggarage because there was not enough room in the studio for them. It will smash everybody to the wall!

I had to get a constructor in because there where cracks (is this good english?) in the outside walls of my appartement when i played it on 4 Pentalabs on level 60!

For showing off my Avant--Pentalabs--BL8000s, It has to be Hotel California in surround sound. My version is the Live from Melbourne Farewell Tour. I never tire of this.

For my Beogram 3000 acoustical--Beolab 5000amp--Beovox 5000--Beovox2500(cubes)  Elton John, "Funeral for a Friend" on vinyll (of course)
I don't normally like EJ but this track is awesome. Starts of loud, then goes bloody loud, then shakes the whole house!

MP3 through the same system--- Sarah McLachlan   "Angel"  or Eva Cassidy  "Over the Rainbow"   for sheer clarity and silent silences.(I know what I mean)

Beogram CD7000 through same system. Jean-Michel Jarre  "Oxygene" for vast range of frequencies. The cubes and serious woofers make the difference on this album.

Good thread by the way🤒

I think it´s very impressive to hear older vinyl with beogram 6500 (with the voice system) 4 beolabs 8000 with beolab 2 and beolab 7-4.

My favorites are The Eagles, the second side of the album "One these days" or You should hear Toto "Make Believe" from the album Toto IV.

On the other side there are some impressive music dvd´s: David Gilmour "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" Track 3 "Time"; play this a little bit louder and no one will have any doubt to the performance of the speakers. Also the Genesis Concert "When in Rome" disc 2 "Ripples" will give You feelings like in heaven.

Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana  - played on a poor system it is just noise, good speakers and it is great.

The Introitus from Mozart's Requiem - lots of contrast.

Dire Straits  - Money for Nothing

Played on the beolab 5000's on dads timberframed walls.

It made one guy offer us £1400 for the speakers, which we turned down.
