Beolab 8000 valuation

Beovox RL 140 vs. M 150?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 14, 2015 16:52I have run RL140s on my Bombaster 8000 and they sound great, if lacking a bit in bass response. I am actively seeking a pair of MS150s to complete the set. I will post my impressions once that happens.

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 14, 2015 16:48Quick update for anyone who might find themselves in a similar situation. After providing receipts, copious photographs, etc. the insurance company made me a ridiculous offer. One letter from my attorney, and I recovered…
US B&O Stores
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 14, 2015 16:22The Houston, Texas store appears to be thriving. It's in a swanky little center with nice restaurants, boutiques, and bar. I agree that the letters B&O should never appear on a cheap HP laptop. Makes you wonder what on e…
Beolab 8000 valuation
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 26, 2015 19:33Thanks for the input, and my apologies for the multiple posts! Yes, all components were thoroughly overhauled mid 2013, shortly after Leslie's visit. My system is mint , and I truly don't believe I could replace it for $…
Beolab 8000 valuation
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 26, 2015 01:48Dave, thanks for the input. I seriously doubt I could replicate the system for less than $3k. Checking out completed auctions on US Ebay, I see turntables for $1k, receiver for $800+, tape decks for $300. No mention of t…

What should the term "vintage" mean?

BeoLab Penta Active Loudspeakers Question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 26, 2013 05:48Also, if you're redoing the mids, do the woofers as well. If one rubber component has degraded, the rest are sure to follow. The labor will be practically free at that point, so may as well do it all while you're in ther…
BeoLab Penta Active Loudspeakers Question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 26, 2013 05:46It's a bargain in the grand scheme of things. Have the grille cloths redone in black, and enjoy a timeless piece of audio sculpture.

BeoLab Penta Active Loudspeakers Question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 24, 2013 03:50I just had a pair of RL140s refurbished (new rubbers, caps) at $400. Initially I balked at the price, then reconsidered: - $1200 new - $2300 in today's money - 13 to 15 years of service and pleasure you can't put a price…
