Yes, the one with black front and 4 adjacent round knobs is
the narrow model, I was referring to.

I still recall the wonderful sound of the Beolab 608. Push-pull output stages and all, very nice indeed.
I always regret selling things but that's life.

The brass tweeters (or dispersers as they were called) are rare to see and a beautiful example of a very early 360 degree treble dispersion, even the Beolab 5 will only do 180 deg...
I remember owning one many years ago but only one.

Frede, maybe you can provide more info as to the difference between
the Dirigent and the Bandmaster receivers ?
We discussed it here some time ago, they do seem very alike.

Martin

Martin, please explaine in danish the [ Bandmaster ] receiver, what is the dansih name for that one? or better the type if possible.

Frede

Frede,

I'm not sure if it has a danish name other than Bandmaster 609K, at
least that's what is printed at it. Not an export model judging from the lettering.
It looks very much like the Dirigent.

I will try to attach photo or two.

Martin

Frede,

Are you sure if the knobs on the little black stereo amplifier are original ?
The knobs look like the ones used on the 607 Present models so
could be of the correct year but I never saw these mounted
on this amplifier before, they look very big. I only ever saw the ones which are also pictured in the Beoworld product browser.

Martin

Martin,

First of all - you are right. The knobs on the small HiFi Amplifer are NOT original. I have been looking for the original for some time without any luck 🙁 -- I do hope to find them some day. Actually it is the only thing missing at all on my HiFi Amp - or no I do miss one chassis connector female - like for the BM mic's. One of them are crashed.

Thank for all the pictures of the 'Dirigent', because it is a Dirigent for sure, at least all pictures is exactly like mine. (I think I have two or tree, but all the same as the pictures you have uploaded.

/Frede 

a little more from the dealers Handbook:

62/63 --- Dirigent 609

63/64 --- Dirigent K

The Beolab 608 with the black front (as in the picture of "classic) is the one I own. My question is: what's the value of this amplifier, as I'm intending of selling it.

TIA

You can read the first couple of posts in this, yours initially, thread.
What's written there goes for both the blue and black versions though
the black version may go slightly higher due to its rarity.
Or simply put it up for sale at Ebay, that will tell you what it's worth.

Martin

Just adding this because i've never seen (or paid for mine for that matter !!) what happened here:
