It must be the classic BM/BL 5000 and the Thorens, there may be better TTs out there but non more beautiful.

But for me the best vintage are the ones I bought, got down here to Mexico with all the work it took, refurbished, had problems with and somehow got working properly, I'm proud of every one of them🙂 My first smiley, a little radical I must say.

7000 system for me... I have two. I will however try and sell both of them this year. 

The only one I've ever owned was the 4500 but I lean towards the 8000. If I had the room for a vintage system this is probably the one.

It has to be the complete Beolab 5000, because I've already got the Beosystems 6000 and 8000, as well as the Beomaster 4400/Beogram 4000/Beocord 5000 4715 (which works great, yes it does!)!

I really need - nay crave - the Beovox 5000s, in whatever version, with or without the cubes!

I like the look of the 7000!  nothing to do with sounds quality

Beolab 5000 for me.  Made before i was born, but you can't ignore the hugely advanced engineering at the time. A pure classic.

I was 3!

I voted for the 8000 system mainly because of the amplifier output capability.  I tend to listen to my classic rock LOUD.  My first amplifier was a Phase Linear 400, and ever since, I'm a sucker for the most powerful amp in the room.

I am quite happy with my BM4000/BG4002/Beovox M70 system though.

Cant wait to get my Bvox 3702 going, that BM 4000 is way over my expectations, and this week my newly bought BG CD50 and Beocord 5000, should arrive to McAllen.

@Rich: If I remember right you put some high class caps in on of your speaker sets, how was the sound difference if any ??
