Your latest addi(c)tion?
Very nice BO, a dirigent or bandmaster are on my wish list, but I will have to get one from abroad if I ever expect to get one! Very scarce in the UK.
And that Beosystem 6000 in white is just fantastic, what a lovely set, does it work? The Beocord in particular is very temperamental.
Tim Jarman fixed my 6000 4ch but I very much doubt he enjoyed doing it!

According to the grill wonderment: The m70 was made both as mirrored pair and identical pair thinking of the drivers position in the front baffle. Which make the grills kind of universal for both speakerpair-types, probably because of reduced production cost. I have both versions, mirrored and identical, so I can confirm it. Comparing both versions together, I would say the frequency response is the same but the mirrored pair is better on stereo imaging. The speakers are fantastic, I really enjoy the deep,dry, tight bass response when they are in the right acoustical environment. I don´t need a sub, and that makes my hifi-world a better place to be :) On top of this they are in my opinion able to reveal a bad recording aswell, but of course they color the sound to a certain point, but in a good way that is.Nice pic, 45° left behind the trumpet stand, The M70 grill makes me wonder why they made it that way, and not with the holes where the drivers are. Beautiful speakers Jacques, even the fly looks good with them.
Now post me a close up pic of the M70 badge/pin, if I dont find a pair I´m going to get some made.

Most of the the white gear works. All channels are there, servo connectors is working, the turntable spins and a good MMC6000 is in place. But all the components need an overhaul and service, not least the tape deck. Soon these things will be 40 years old!

That is some seriously nice kit! I would imagine it will need servicing and overhauling.
What is the story behind it? Was it all bought as one set originally?

Thank you.
Yes, it was bought as a set at a local shop in Sweden back in 1976 and of course it costed a fortune. I picked it up from the owner in Gothenburg, Sweden last week. The man that sold it had helped his parents bring all the stuff home, new and in unopened boxes back in 1976. Later, when the parents had passed away he took the system to his place och now, at a age of 69 years, it was time to pass it on.
I´m not sure what to do with it yet. I already got a similar system, fully operational but in rosewood/palisander/jakaranda but could not resist this one too. It´s my absolute favourite B&O-system.

Beautiful, congratulations! My favourite as well, together with the 8000 system.
I've only got one 6000 system though, and in palisander. On the other hand I have the beolab 8000 in both white and palisander (but I guess that you have ten of those, haha) :)

Wow!!! I have absolutely not ten of them and would really love to have a Beolab 8000 in white. Most of all on a white SC 80.2. Or why not TWO white SC 80.2: one with a white Beolab 8000 and another with a white Beomaster 6000 4 ch based set...
NOW we are talking!
Here are pictures of my systems - the ones I use. I also have occasional guests as well.

That white 6000 system is a great buy. Hope you find somewhere for it.
My BM6000 is is boxed up as I have no where (yet) to put it since moving house 😮
My B&O Icons:
I never thought I'd buy one but I saw it advertised and I couldn't help it. First time I've ever seen one for sale in my country.
Arrived yesterday and I love it! Lovely to hold.
P.s. I got the Beosound and A8 headphones for 88 pounds which I think is a good price.
