Definitely the system to have for all B&O! Or get the Beogram 3000 Thorens, like Frede! I used the 4000 with my Beolab 5000 system. The 5000 is a very lively amplifier and I preferred it to the 7000 as well.

Best sounding receiver?

Well, you know how to put a tear in someone's eye. Looks wonderful, doesn't it?
And at the time it was the best sound one could get for decent money.
Somehow I find that the Beogram 4000 fits better than the more authentic Thorens player (which I also understand has better bass?)
Looking forward to hearing a record through that setup at home.
The Thorens certainly does have more bass. I used mine with a SP12 cartridge as it is the best one but I do think the arm is probably the limiting factor. My 12" one is now a trophy which Lee has!

I think you're absolutely right. I have my BM 8000/BG 4002/BG CDX playing through some mint Beovox Pentas. The setup looks great, always draws admiring comments from guests, and best of all sounds amazing - and after all, why wouldn't it, given that most of the components were once top of the B&O range :)
Henrik, is it possible to post a few hi res photos of your white 8000 system ? It would be a good opportunity for you to gloat and the rest of us to turn green with envy !! John Y
