You have a pair of very old MK1's.

Lee, I am only forwarding info I was told by B&O. The dealers class it as MK4 as it is a different mould that B&O had used to make the lastest version. Thats all.

So why change the MK's? So why call your old one's a MK1? Or why call a MK2 a MK2 and a MK3 a MK3? B&O do this I think.

Anyway... never mind! Have great Xmas Lee!

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

Lee, 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.

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.

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.

Firstly... Do you know Lee owns this forum?

Secondly, you are wrong.

Third... I guess you're the one selling it?  😁

Yes, I know Lee owns the forum.

I am just saying what I was told! I am not wrong, I am right.

I wish I was selling it! I actually love it. I want it. :-)

As with most things it's up for debate... 😎

That certainly is. Merry Xmas!

 

I can confirm that there have only been three MK's of the BeoSound 9000. The MKIII had a slight update (reintroduction of the horrible red switch) and the type number changed from 2572 to 2594 accordingly. Internally this was never regarded as a MK change. In fact who really cares? I know for sure that Lee does know his Marques and his MK's.

B&O Yarm have simply had a 9000 personalised and the monies raised will be going towards a charitable case, so fair play to them. Will they throw in a free playmaker to future proof it a bit more?

I believe this has been done off their own back and it's not endorsed by B&O HQ.

Happy Christmas to one and all.
