VX7000 vs V8000

1. The VX7000 is a much more radical looking device.

2. The V8000 is much more practical as the rewind speed is far faster.

3. I have both - the VX looks much better, but I use the V8000 as it works!! I do however also have a AV9000, which uses a VX7000 internally!

The B & O store in Bournemouth had some brand new V8000s available last year for about £375 iirc? I bought a new one from my local store in Bristol for that price and i am very pleased with it...and it came at the time with a 4 year warranty too.

Thanks for all the replies, as always helpfull.

VX7000 does come up on DBA.dk at bargain prices, so if I can find one in working order at a good price, I'll get that one.

best regards

Chr.
