Most sought-after vintage B&O
I can also recomend BM2000, it sounds superb!
I have the white one with alu-front, for me it is one of 3 best looking Beomasters.
π 3 best looking Beomasters...π
I have 3 out of the 4 versions they were made in...
Well -there's a lot of good-looking Beomasters. It's hard to say which one is best looking...
My personal favourites are the 1900/2400 series and their successors. I guess my absolute favourite is the BM 4500.
But most sought after must be the 4401 as mentioned earlier -as it is impossible go get your hands on...π

very nice, all 3 of them!
I have also the one with the black front but not so nice as yours...
and this one whith oak and alu is very nice and I think also very rare. There was one in ebay.de aprox. 2 months ago in near mint condition. Didi you buy it?
Although not Beomaster, my favorite is (as noticeable from my avatar) the Beolab 608...
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
Hahaha, that is almost too funny! π My GF is all good with my gear (no pun intended π). Luckily, for now, her obsession lies with knitting and I dont need to give up too much room for that, yet.
Rich: Those speakers look wonderful psychedelic.
Steffen: Holy macaroni! Nice set there man. The 2000 is such a beautiful piece of art, especially the teak(oak)/alu combo. Definately on my want list :)
Lovely collection of excellent receivers. Only ever had the black and wood one myself. One of the best sounding series as well. The allied 3400 is also a real treat with perhaps the most complex FM dial ever made!

After following your thread and reading your comments, the blessed BeoVirus starts acting up again, my plan will now be changed a little, it was to finish what I have here and in TX, and then go serious looking for a Beocord reel to reel, finish my BeoBar and get it all set up each set in a room. Now I may have to go looking for the reel to reel AND a BM 2000 or 3400, I do have a set of P45s to go with them, I could use my BG 2404 with these too, but that will split up the 2400 set, so I will have to wait and see, I have allways had a good eye toward the BG 1700, not in the product line for neither 2000 or 3400, but what the heck. My BG 1202 is reserved for the Beobar together with BM 901 and Bvox. 1600s.
So here goes
Beosound 3000, BL 8000, together with all the black side, Skybox, Blu-ray, PC, flat screen. Living room
5000 stack (BM, BC, BG and CD50) and P 45s (BL 4000 until P45s are done) Dining room
BM 4000, BG TX2, Bvox panel 3000, Office
BM 4400, Bvox 3702, sound from black side TV and CD player, bed room
BM 2400, BG 2404, Bvox, S45s (83) workshop
BM 901, BG 1202, Bvox 1600 BeoBar
Then to get is: For the Bar Beocord Reel to Reel. For the bed room a CD50.
We are planning to extend the living room onto the now terrace and make a kind of green zone there, and that would be a good place for BM 2000 and affiliated. I may go looking for something small for the kitchen, and speakers for the garage to connect to the BM 901.
When it all is up and running I will get a FS anti BeoVirus injection and live happy ever after.
I will never ever buy a BM/BL 5000 or speakers for it and neither look for S75s or S120 M150 speakers, I promiseπ

Hi there
I think the Black/rosewood version is the most common of those. The alu/oak is quite rare (although I have seen 3 for sale here in Denmark this year).
I didn't buy the one on e-bay - I have actually never bought any B&O on e-bay, as we are so Lucky here in Denmark to have lots of B&O ( I mostly look on Danish sites like link, and

Haha,
SΓΈren: I bet the 2000 would look great in any environment. And B&O in every possible room, you must must be living in a dream π I have first and foremost settled on getting a BM8000 and a BM2000. Maybe more down the line, but these are not easy to find in Norway.
Steffen: I quess those links are the danish equvivalent of the norwegian finn.no/qxl.no etc. Do you think danish users of for instance dba.dk would be open to shipping to Norway?
Hi Per
I have seen Norwegians on the danish QXL a few times. And I have sold a CD 50 to a guy in Norway -so it is possible.
I guess you can find some sellers on dba.dk too, who wants to ship to Norway. It's probably not all who wants to send out of Denmark, as it is a bit more difficult...
You can always ask them - it costs nothing to ask π
