BeoLink 5000 should be number 2

Oh gosh, my ALL TIME FAVOURITE B&O has got to be the BeoLab 6000 speakers so elegant, timeless and clear sounding.

ALSO...

BeoSound Ouverture / 2500

Beosystem 5000 from 1984

BeoVision 8 for its more real price and daring design

My BeoSound Century

My Grandad's BeoMaster 1500 and BeoGram 1500 from 1979 as that is what got me in B&O

AND... maybe CX50 speakers

Oh dear, these are old B&O styles is that saying that maybe the new B&O range doesn'tdo it for me?

I think the worst is BeoLab 5 what an ugly thing that is  totally disgusting!

In the strange zone that is 36 hours away from exams, all becomes clear:

1) B&O Bottle Opener: Never lets a true enthusiast down.

2) Beolab/Beomaster 5000.

3) Beomaster 8000

4) Beogram 4000

5) Beovox Cona

6) Beolit 1000

7) Beomaster 6000 Quad

8) Beolit 39

9) Beolab 5

10) Beovision Avant

Ah!

that's because it comes from a pre-software era

similarly I love my coasters !

Hi,

Definately the BS2500 and BL2500 with its magical sliding doors !

I fell in love with that true piece of design in 1994 at a Brookstone Store in Fashion Valley, San Diego CA. That made me a fan of B&0. This is why my first ever start with a B&O HIFI system was a BS Ouverture + BL8000 😁:

Then the BL8000, BC6000, BS9000, BC9300 and..A8 are incredibly beautiful.

Cheers,

Guy

I must admit to having a soft spot for the BL5 - they are science and engineering on display as part of the design, rather than being hidden away in a box or behind a cover. They are beautiful in the same way that some bridges are beautiful😳

So absolutely nothing pre-2000ish was any good then?

thats because I'm a post-2000ish B&O fan. :) beolab 6000 & beosound 9000 are pre-2000 though! :p seriously though, I havent seen any of the vintage B&O products irl, only the av9000 but as I said I'm sure they look good. :)
