TOP 10 designed Bang & Olufsen products ever

58 replies

Hi there!

 

I have just finished to compilate the list of the TOP 10 designed B&O products. I am wondering if you would make a similar choice? I am open to suggestions :) I might also change the title to TOP 12 if there will be a quarrel ;)

Here is the

Honestly... I think your list was very good!

I think my #1 is the BG4000

I might swap the BL3's w/ BL4000... other than that... 🤒

Great choices but my No.1 is the Beocenter 9500. It's 20 years old and still has that absolute pleasure factor

I have added the 9000 series of Beocenter. Thank you for reminding me of this great piece of art!

Wow, I havn't come across the 5RG Radiogram before, that's an incredible piece of design.  Even if it was released now it would look pretty good. Sums up why I buy B&O

(Thanks Wasti, it's good when people unexpectedly learn stuff like this)

Jaff, you even don't now how many doubts I had regarding wheter to add a Beosound 3000 / 3200 with the Beolab 4000 or the old Beocentury 2500 (with Beolab 2500) - I have chosen the older version though I will also add the newer version of this equipment :)

Best wishes and thanks for help!

I think your list is impressive.  However I would also include the Beolab 5's.

Your list has also given me an idea.  I have many of the items on the list in storage and had plan to sell most of the them.  However I am thinking maybe I could install some of the pieces in storage with my current system.  I could make the change every 6 months or maybe not. 

 

Excellent list. Covers almost everything but IMHO you are missing the Iconic AV9000. I think this is one of the top ever, so I think it should be there.

Nice list, I agree.
What I don't understand though, is why you took one of the first photos
from my Beolit 39 restoration thread where a knob is missing rather than
one of the later where it is complete ?

Another two of my favourites are the Master 40S and the Master Deluxe 40RG, the latter
designed in the late 30's but looking like a typical late 50's or even 60's design.

I am sorry Dillen, I have not noticed that. The photo looked so good that I was sure it comes from the B&O photo archive as I had a folder for good quality pictures on my computer. Funny though. I will change this asap.

Thanks Dillen for your remark! If there will be no good photo in the B&O archive may I use that one in your restoration thread? Please advise.
