Here's mine;

BL5

BL9

BS9000

 

Speakers:

BL5

BL8000

Televisions:

BV 9

BV 7 40''

Music Systems:

BS 9000

BS 5

Telephones:

BC 2

Serenata

Beolab 5 (which I do not own)

Beosystem 3 Based on > 2 years experience, it still has growth potential

Beosound 9000 (which could have benefited from minor feature upgrades)

 

BS3 could be higher on the list, despite the issues  encountered with non B&O panels and software bugs. It's a hobby as much as an excellent piece of electronics.😎

My top three would be as follows and stand for the epitome of what B&O is about:-

 

  1. BeoLab 5.         A unique solution to loudspeakers. World Class
  2. BeoSound 1      A different solution for “portable” and sound quality. Useful machine.
  3. Beo4                A simple remote which sets the standard for B&O quality and a remote all others are measured by.

 

There are other devices which fulfil one role or another but not as entirely as the products above. The BS5 for instance could be there but it is too new (and I don’t agree with others that it has bits missing – it has a specific role rather than a jack-of-all trades and is a very capable machine to play music) to make the cut. Same goes for the BeoVisions. Not because they don’t have enough HMDI connects or the latest panel or because they cost so much, rather that they are “ordinary” from a B&O perspective in that they do not readily engage someone to touch and feel. Eye candy, hands-off appeal only.

Choosing different types of products my top 3 would be:

Beolab 5 - awesome (enough said)

Beosound 5 - beautiful

Beo 5 - eye catching

Soon to be the owner of a Beo 5 but unless my numbers come up the other 2 are long in the future for me!! This coming from a chap who is looking for some Mk3 Pentas as i love them so much!!

1.  BL5

2.  BL9

3.  BL3

Why is it that these are in inverse price order!

TVs are still evolving too much (digital, HD etc) and are over priced!

1. Beosound 9000

 

2.  Beolab 8000 

 

3. Beolab 3500

 

The ALT speakers may be hurting B&O's business more than helping?   The 3's and the 9's are just not attractive to most significant others and the 5's are too expensive for normal people.  

BL 8000

BL 8000

BL 8000

and than ..... whatever 🙂

tbh i don't think anything in the current range can hold a candle to bno's gratest hits

the amazing beogram 4004 , the beomaster 1900 or the still staggering  beosystem 8000

the stuff nowadays bores me rigid in comparison

now that gear , that had REAL MAGIC !!!

BL5

BL9

BS9000

I mostly agree with Flappo though, other than the BL5's the current range don't float my boat as some of the vintage stuff does. Take something as recent as the BC9500 where the magic was everywhere from how it functioned right through to the design compared to the black boxes offered by its competitors - no contest.

But the OP asked for favourites in the current range so those are mine.
