Hi Beoworlders,

Over the years, I have heard of some quite strange B&O systems, including outdoor Beolab 5s on motorised lifts and Beolab 8000 "stalactites" hanging from ceilings, so I was wondering what other weird and wonderful B&O setups you have seen?

Here's a link to one from my own home to start things off:

Hi,

I had heard about that one, but wondered if it was an "urban myth"?  Has anyone seen any pictures?

Kind regards, Steve.

All of this is connected to my beolink active PC input (cable supplied by Steve) the active kit is connected to an amplifier and 2 x S45, and 2 x P45’s - there are a few switch boxes to select sources and output to tape - so I can listen to the stereo in the house or any of the ham radio kit, game pc or my mac through the B&O kit. Quality of the Ham radio is so much better hooked upto the beolink active!

Hi Andrew,

I love the ham radio setup - that looks even busier than my workshop when I have the synthesizers set up.......

Am I the only one who cringed at Paul's picture of the Beolab 18 outdoors? 😠

Kind regards, Steve.
