Best product for me is the Beosystem 7000 incl Beolink 7000. After all these years it's still working perfectly.

Worst: Definitely the DVD-1. Bad moving parts that have been replaced several times.

Sorry to read this. Do you have the model with the older mechanism? Isn't the later type supposed to be much better (after 2004)

best : avant and the beocom 2 which i love , also beotalk 1200 which is amazing imo

worst ; i never actually had one , but a friend did - a beocentre 2000 - 2002 ? utterly awful and no way should it have had the bno badge , garbage

Best: BL9, they are really awesome in performance and looks.

Worst: Serenata. Could never get used to it. I actually like Serene, which I owned before Serenata.

Best vintage: Beomaster 4400, what a slick, bold amplifier.

Worst vintage: Can't really spot anyone.

For me my favourite purchase has been my Beovox S45-2s, bought as a stop-gap until I could afford better B&O speakers I no longer feel any need to replace them.

Worst buy was a Beocenter 2000 that ended up in the skip as it was in such terrible condition, but I can't really complain as it came in the same transaction as my S45-2's for a grand total of £16!

Love my BS9000 & BS/BM5 MOTS works better than I thought it would

My wife is using as well !

And I'm really sad that I can not use iPhone, I have big fingers ! 🙁

I bought iPod classic recently, and I made mistake, I should get Ipod touch ....

Are you aware that the iPhone's keyboard actually expands the characters "it" thinks you're going to type, as it guesses given what you've already typed. True - the keyboard is predictive, and the touchpad area expands beyond the area drawn around the characters, precisely to accommodate larger fingers.

Also, with 3.0, the keyboard will rotate to landscape format when you're typing e-mails and sms, which will also increase the working area. That will also go for the iPod Touch you should have bought. 😁

Best B&O - a tough one. I can still remember my sheer joy when I bought my first B&O, a Beocenter 7700. Seeing the stylus drop and hearing the sound was magic - my first remote for an audio unit! Have had a good B&O history as far as products go, I'm very picky before I buy and try things out.

Worst B&O I almost bought - the Serene.

 

I made mistake buying iPod classic, but now I need to use to it, and learn from my mistake ... 🙂

As for fingers, I think engineer's from apple never saw fingers like mine 🙂  .... even with landscape mode is hard to type .... I know it sounds odd but this is true .... 🙂

Actually Serene IMO was the biggest mistake for B&O ! Expensive mistake !

Best:               BeoSound 9000   - stunning performance, incredible looks.

Worst:             Beo 5                   - utter rubbish, rip off price.

fine, let me tip the cart! i love my serene(s)!!! people that know i am an applefan are shocked that i do not have an iphone (perhaps someday - i do use an itouch for remoting though). the serene simply does everything i need in a phone, and does it elegantly -and so far, w/o any issues whatsoever.

at any rate...

best: bm2400 -nothing more, nothing less! the definitive all-time b&o statement (IMHO, of course) -i have one on every day -all day! 😕

worst: wow, i love everything, but likely the beocenter 2200 -even perfect, it was not very good. i have made it my 6 year old's first piece of b&o...

Best B&O item--------    Serene.  Sod you all!😕
