Hi,

I would say (as your serial numbers have 7 digits, and mine, starting with 13, have eight) that they are the "09****** - 1992/1993" ones. The labels just do not carry the 0. Can you tell what kind of drivers are in the speakers?

We will persist!

I must correct myself - it seems that there are serial numbers starting with a 9.

You named the reason: those are 7 digits.

Later on (with the change from 9 to 10) they made the now used 8 digits version.

Evening!

Looking at the drivers, these must be the early 8000s. Also check this thread: /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/hdr1-use-with-bv3#post-1860537 that is about the 8000s and their changes since launch in '92. In some threads people cannot really tell any difference (sound wise) between early and late 8000s.

I use mine with a BeoMaster 6500 + BeoGram CD 7000. I was able to find a pair of the rubber cable covers that make them look really good.

Enjoy them!

The answer is on the label on the front.

Hi Blackrix,

I think you refer to the MCMXCI (1991), right? I believe that that is some kind of copyright year: also my BeoLabs carry that year indication.
