Spring for a full Beolab 8000 system.  No CD player needed:

- get wifi in your home

- connect an Apple Airport Express to the AUX input

- use an iPad mini to control everything

 

Done, Son!

I look to utilize my forthcoming refurbished RL140 or the RL60s with a vintage setup. In addition the Beolab 8000s are not to my liking, too modern looking for my taste.

Do I see one more member that has been infected with the BeoVirus.πŸ™‚

The BL 8000 design fits in in nearly all surroundings and the sound is top. I have a pair and they are a good  addition to use for black side amps or just to keep the FS quiet.😁

I think he means the BeoLab 8000 system, as he also wrote. πŸ™‚

That means BeoMaster 8000, BeoGram 8000 (or 8002), BeoCord 8000 (or 8002, 8004, 9000) and a pair of MS 150s (MS 150.2). Together it was called BeoLab 8000.

Oh, my bad, I presumed it was just called Beosystem 8000, but I looked it up and it is indeed called the Beolab 8000 system πŸ™‚ I was confused and thought about the active speaker set. Nevertheless, I am definitely considering the BM8000 and a Beogram 8000 😁

FS = Fabric Selector = female of the species

I was shocked to see in another thread (/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/our-wacky-quotoffice-beolab-2quot#post-1983922) that apparently they are also found in finland

So far there have been FS sightings in the homes of Beoworlders in the US of A, Mexico (aka the US of M), and Australia 

I am beginning to worry that the Beovirus may be genetically linked to Patchwork Virus and other variants

an attached female (i,e. girl friend, partner, wife) who collects fabrics and sewing machines

in my case I lost my son's bedroom that was becoming my beomuseum to an avalanche of cloth and husqvarnas

As the original member who had (has) a fabric selector, I respectfully request the definition also reflect that one has had something Beo-related modified to appease the female.  See my avatar.
