That looks great! Congratulations, not jealous at all... i hope they worth the wait. What speaker setup Arne using with it?

Congratulation Piaf,

very nice piece of vintage stuff and with great renovation history (I thing the most famous Beolab and Beomaster 5000 on this forum). 

Hi, hi....I did the same mistake, when renovated Beolab 5000 came to me (not depressed SPKRS buttons). I was frustrated for a while (5 minutes circa), but feelings after ...you can imagine by yourself.

This is really a dream come true and I thank Soren from the bottom of my heart for making it a reality. 😁

Both of us will have say thank you to Henrik (Square4) without him giving me the 2nd set for a symbolic sum, I would have kept yours for myself,

Enjoy Jeff, I had a lot of fun repairing, and this year I will try to find good homes for some other BM/BGs I have here standing around doing nothing

Good work guys !

Oh, and you can finally say goodbye to that Beomaster 4500 of yours 😎

Thank you Jacques. Beyond the 5000 pair it is especially nice to be a member of the B5OC. I wonder if we need lapel pins or name badges like other clubs?

I have really enjoyed the music quality thus far..... but I also love the look.

The next thing I need to configure an FM antenna as none of my varied antenna connects work. My affection for the Seattle classical station (KING-FM 98.1)  has been well documented here and although the Beomaster receives it but not quite in stereo, so I need an antenna.

As for the comment on my Beomaster 4500, I guess I should have seen that one coming. Geez guys, what is this dislike for the 4500? Personally I find it an excellent amp with a host of options not available on earlier B&O products. For volume power it doesn't compare to a Beomaster 8000 (like yours Jacques) the Beolab 5000, or the Beomaster 4400, for that matter. Hey, but that quart holds a quart is all we can expect of it.

Note to Jacques: Yes sir, I know you were just kidding, but these amps are kind of like my children and my buddy in France called one of them "ugly." Papa gotta defend his kids! 😁

After this 3 year wait I still don't believe the Beolab 5000/Beomaster 5000 pair is really here. No kidding at this, I got up this morning, looked over and thought, what do yuou know, I didn't dream that. A very nice way to begin the day!

Thanks Jacques for ALL the comments!

OK, I agree, so thank you Henrik for making my dream come true. I also appreciate your earlier "vote" that Soren sell me the BL/BM 5000 pair.... and so he did.

Thank you for making me feel "not so alone." I think we all need that! 😳

Oh gosh, there you have me. I am seriously speaker challenged around here. The BL/BM 5000 pair are running MC120.2 speakers combined with truly ratty Fisher XP66 speakers. The Fishers make up for the 120.2's feeble bass response.So, so far, so good.

I have 4 amps with no speakers, which is frustrating. I have looked locally for years Craigslist and Used Victoria but this being an island, there is little available and what is here is priced 3 to 4 times the actual value. Also watch on eBay, but not all that much comes up, and what does is either battered or horrendously over-priced.

Two amps are out for repair (Beomaster 1600 and Beomaster 1000) and my Beomaster 4400 is sitting near electronic death on my dining room table. Once all three are repaired, I am not sure what the heck I am going to do.

I have been searching for a pair of MS150's but I have been unsuccessful. Every so often I spot a pair of S75's (one of my favourites) but each time the ones I find look like they feel of the back of a truck.
