My own tribute to Bang & Olufsen..............
So futuristic , it STILL looks like it's a prototype !
So much for modern hi-fi - eh ?
Gorgeous systems. These were always so stylish and sleek, and perhaps the ultimate expression of B&O's philosophy of ease of use and minimum fuss, everything self contained. Like the later Beocenters with CD and tape, and even my BS9000 which was radio and CD, high style and simple to use. It occurred to me a while ago that, after getting rid of an old Panasonic all in one unit when I went to separates back in college, and a lot of different separate components later, going with my BS9000 was in a way coming full circle to an all in one unit, albeit one with much, much higher performance and elegance.
I guess things like the BS5 and such today are the equivalent, since everyone has gone to network based music the need for separate components has largely gone away.
Nice tribute to an excellent system!
Nice comment Jeff, - maybe we all should attend to netbased units? Was almost hooked on that BS5 but then again............😕
Nice kit Beotoss !
My B&O Icons:
B&Os design were always their strength, but somehow they got off track and went for what they thought would be popular, and not the "special" B&O way.
They also seams to have forgotten the easy to use design, where a blind man could use the basic functions after 5 min. instructions.
I just love the old classic look, specially the flats, like BM 1900, 2400. timeless designs that fits in nearly everywhere
