Very impressive Edouard.  I also have Beolab 9s and unboxed it myself.  I usually save the boxes in the event I need to ship items for repair.  However there were so many pieces in the packing, I was left wondering how I would put it all back together again.

 

 

Thanks Linder!

As you did, I kept the whole package in the event I move from this house to another.

I kept the pallet in my garage with the BV10's one, and put the boxes, tubes, white protections, the box with userguide + PL cables + main cables 

in the same room as where the BV10 box and ancessories are, tu be sure that they stay dry....I know I'm a freak 😷

I decided to do it because I didn't do this with my BS9000, BL8000 boxes that I let be in the garage and after 4 years they became almost rotten...and unusable.

If you want to put them all back together, that's simple, ask me to send you the pics I took ;)

Cheers

I think if people want to share pictures of unboxing products with others then do so - if you don't want to see the pictures then don't look.

Personally, part of the pleasure of buying something that expensive is the unboxing of it as it's so beautifully packed. My first experience was of a Beogram 1500 un 1979 and I was hooked ever since.

So keep the pictures coming as it's a great way for all of us to share someones excitement.

If anyone gets off on this I can offer a service with video and photo's of unboxing any B&O product you wish, chargeable of course :)

I though this posting (and others on the similar Beolab 5 thread) quite rude, in fact others may judge it offensive.

I just find it strange that a retailer (and not just you) would post any "rude", "offensive", "negative", "controversial" (delete to taste) posts .

No offence intended.

Some people are easily offended. And then somebody wonders why there are wars in the world..? 😕👍

Steffen,

I can assure you I wasn't offended! 

My original posting (which was meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek), was based on my observation that certain well respected re-sellers of B&O equipment seem to be actively "bolshy" in there utterences lately. The remarks by KingOfSnake followed hard on the heels of a thread from a certain gentleman in East Anglia who seemed to be questioning the validiity of the Beoworld Prize Draw!

It struck me as strange thats all. Perhaps I should keep my observations to myself!

Best wishes to all,

Neil. 

Hi Neil

No - ofcourse you should not keep your observations to yourself. But I saw KingOfSnake's remarks as 'tounge-in-cheek'.

Best wishes

Steffen

@ Neil:

I have now read the (BL 5) thread you were referring to earlier...Now I must say, that I know what you mean...

Back to the theme of this thread..  Unboxing a new product.

I can honestly say that part of the thrill of buying a new and expensive product of any description is getting it home and opening the box!  Am i a bit strange in saying that ??!

I took delivery of a brand new car on September 1st - and was excited for about a week before.  The 'handover' was an experience I really enjoyed, but now i've done 2,500 miles in the car i kind of take it for granted.  It was the initial thrill of the new car which was lovely.

Same with my BeoLab 5's back in 2003.  Watching the dealer plonk the crates on my lounge floor and unwrap the 'beasts' was something i still smile about when i cast my mind back.

Hey, if we're going to strip it back to a basic level then why the hell do we wrap Christmas presents?  There must be something in that?

Anyway - unboxing a new product and sharing the excitement..  yes, I see it!   Not everyone's cup of tea but i still love B&O enough (even though i see it every single day in a commercial capacity) to get a thrill from it.

Completely agree.

What I find odd is that someone would like to spoil that special moment by stopping to take photographs - just imagine asking your child to stop every second for a photo when they are opening Christmas/Birthday presents.  I find it odd (again nothing wrong with odd), and I certainly wouldn't get the same thrill at others opening boxes.  Makes for a cheap night out though so long may it continue!

@Neil, if you were offended by the use of the term 'gets off' then I apologise, I take your comments as tongue-in-cheek but also take offence at any inference or suggestion of who or what I am, but the secrets out I guess, or is it?  Interested to see that another Member from East Anglia has made a comment about something deemed contentious but I doubt he will be on the receiving end of the comments made towards me!
