Anyway so so silly that B&O isn't putting these up on the site if this is indeed legit. Just shows just shows that the current people in charge are so.....

How could they put it up for sale? There's one made.

Oh my god! Jackson pollock's official art group  work on that or did just somebody slap his name on? 

Modernist art is freaking huge now! Is it genuine? I think I might go for it!

This will make a killer corporate gift.

Go for it... Great way to "ruin" 20 grand. 😁

Pollock the artist or the fish?

I think this unit is more BS than BS9000 so to say. Jackson has not been with us for over fifty years and selling a unit like this for such a premium using his name makes me sad. Even if they donate "a percentage(s)" to charity. 

Also, that they call it special edition when it is actually an old BS9000 that has been refurbished, and not even an official special model - nor do I know of a Mk4.

Anyways, thats just my thoughts.  

I love this Special Edition! It looks amazing!

I do not know why people come on this forum and talk about things they have no idea about?!

Michael, a MK4 does exist! I had puchased a MK4 in 2011. They were the very last one made by B&O. It is the ones with the Power switch on. Due to EU rules B&O had to provide a manual Switch and they placed the switched back on the last ones they made! You can speak to any dealer who knows what they are talking. They will tell you that the model changed at the end!

If they are providing a 3 year warranty... I am guessing they would want to replace all parts to ensure the customer get a newish system with all brand new parts.

I love the look of this system! It looks awesome! I am considering buying this.

I have spoken to B&O and it is Legit!

I don't know, one way or another it looks quite...hmmmm, good!

There must be one someday on this Ebay planet who's willing to pay that amount of money.

I agree Leslie! It looks very good!

What a load of Jackson Pollocks...  

Why replace the laser in a 219***** serial BS9000 for a start, then what's all this about fitting a new "optical fibre" ? - and worse still... since when did Bang & Olufsen make a Type 2672 "Mk4" ??!!!

I'm all for customising. Yep, I'm guilty of it - plenty of times, but there's popping a cherry on top and there's squirting ten cans of UHT cream with five tubs of hundreds and thousands and nine flakes, with sparklers.

...over the top.... and the price is a joke.  I'm surprised at B&O Yarm for putting their name against this if I'm honest, but knowing the owners they will no doubt have a good and valid reason.

Lee... I suggest you speak to a B&O dealer who can tell you that after a MK3 B&O launched a new model MK4 with the power switch on.

Why are we all so negative about things here? We all know that it looks great?! I have spoken to many B&O dealers and they agree!!! Let give it the credit it deserves! I am really considering purchasing it. I like the Black Edition too!

I have a power switch on both my BS9000 and I can assure you that they are not Mk4. Besides, if the only change is some change to the power switch I can't see a reason to call it Mk4. And it doesn't really matter how it looks. I would not buy a BS9000 Picasso edition either. It is just fake.
