BeoLink 5000 should be number 2
TOP 10 designed Bang & Olufsen products ever
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. :)
