The first one I got was a VERY used BeoLab 2500 + BeoSound 2300. Which I always thought was brilliant.

BeoSound 3000 + BeoLab 8000 about 12 years ago... and still enjoying them.

Over the year, added several others stuff, but you asked the first purchase only :)

My very first buy was a BeoCom1401 in 2003. But if i want to be honest my first serious buy was a BV7-32 which i still enjoy...More B@O came up on the way since then and i don't think i can stop, although i will take careful steps in future.. :-)

a beocentre 4600 w/ s45-2 speakers , bought for my 16th birthday ( a looooong time ago )

what a lucky boy i was ! 🙂

1st Purchase - Beovision 3 - 32, simply the most beautiful TV ever built - it still looks magnificent and relevant today with incredible sound.

Why - my father had a Besound 9000 and Beolab 6000 speakers - my B&O fixation is entirely his fault (why couldn’t he like Matsui, I would be far wealthier now!!)

I got a Beosound Century floor sample for cheap since it was all I could afford at the time.  I sold it for more than I bought it for 8 years later.

About 4 to 5 years ago I stumbled across an online add: Beolap 6000 for 250 Euro. I didn't know anything about pricing of used B&O, but looked it up on ebay and thought "if my wife won't like these, I can resell easily".

In the end the person selling the speakers had moved to a new place and was trying to get rid off a lot of stuff he had stored in an old barn!

So I got a complete 10-15 yrs. old set:

- Beolab Penta 3
- Beolab 6000
- Beovision AV9000
- Beosystem 6500 (white) complete
- Beolink 7000
- 2 x MCL2P

for 1.150 Euro...

By now everything was sold and replaced for two reasons:

- when the TV (BV 3-32) we bought afterwards broke, I had no chance to do a 100% satifisfying integration with a non B&O AVR
- I have decided to buy only new stuff when I sell other items...see signature..

Mine was a LX2500 (i think). I wanted a TV for my bedroom and had aways hankered after B&O. I found the LX advertised locally for cheap and was amazed by the picture and sound.

Since then I have bought lots more (none new, I cant afford it!) now my audio is all from about 1969, BL5000, BM3000, BM900 etc. The video is taken care of by an Avant and BV3. I wouldnt mind a pair of BL5's though.

My first, and for the moment only,  B&O is my BV7-40 Mk3.

Aiming for a pair of BL3 or BL9 and a BS5 for N.music and N.radio.

Bought Beomaster 5500 with Beogram CD50 and Beolink 1000 + Beovox 3702 after several month tries to find something sounding from a modern hi-fi.

Suddenly found a vintage seller, who offered a pair of 3702 speakers from a B&O collector- in close to perfect condition. After 5 minutes they worked, the midbass foam surroundings shivered, and replaced with a new rubber ones easily by the vintage serviceman.

Now everything works like new, and sounds fantastic together with a retro-futuristic design makes guests shocked the BM and BG are from the early 80's!;-)))
