Guys,

I have a chance to purchase a Beomaster 900M in virtually flawless condition.

The seller is in Vancouver and doesn't take PayPal, so that poses a considerable problem.

In addition the seller is FIRM on his price of CN$300 or 203 Euros.

Is this an opportunity or rather, a great chance to say thanks but NO thanks?

I know the 900 is not a high end amp, but it is iconic.

Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

This is one where I need to act quickly. If I don't hear back by Friday mid-day, I will err on the side of caution, and pass.

The one Guy links to would need a voltage converter.

Thank you guy, handsome 900 you have there.

The one I am (was) considering is a 900M, like the one in your ad. I probably would avoid any B&O product designed for the European market due to the voltage difference issue.

The FIRM asking price of $300 Canadian dollars is almost certainly unjustifiable, as such I plan to pass.

I have this darn Beovirus and can't stop "collecting" this stuff. As it is I have a Beomaster 1000 in for repair, now for over SIX months as my very good tech has been unable to successfully repair this item. I also have a "near dead" Beomaster 4400 that needs a complete rebuilding, so acquiring yet another amp really brings one's sanity into question. (Or lack thereof)

I plan to hold off saying no until the end of the day (Pacific time) but all considered this is something I really don't "need."

I love my 900M. But paying so much for one seems a little over the top. Wait a bit longer till you find a good cheap one.

Hi Jacques,

I just now emailed the seller that I "am unable to justify the selling cost." That's polite for over-priced.

I'll do just as you suggest, and wait.

I was asked to look for a birthday present for myself(it's tomorrow) and thought the Beomaster might be nice. Truth is the M75 speakers are MORE than enough of a present.

God I love those speakers AND their French tweeters, which are wonderful, by the way. 😁

By the way Jeff, I hope it is not my BM 900 thread which had you crave one 😎

If this is the case, I'm sorry 😕

Hi Jacques,

I have not seen your BM 900 thread, so you can rest easy on that one.

That said, I am now more than curious to see what it is all about.

I have emailed the seller twice and his responses have not been encouraging. Let's just say that his credibility suffered as a result.

Thank you, as always for your interest. 🙂

I was half kidding about my thread influencing your decision to purchase a BM 900.

But I know how the Beovirus works: an enthusiastic testimony, a few nice pictures is all it takes to revive it when it is dormant.

We are weak and there is no cure.
