I have a pair of Beolab 3000's in excellent working order.  They are a little scratched up and I cannot tell you whether they are blue or grey without looking at them again.  They are US model (110V).  Let me know if you are still interested and I will check them out to see what the color is.

By the way, the 3000's actually sound good.  The displays are definitely a selling point.

Dear Michael,

Many thanks for your offer, but I am afraid that 110V will require an adapter for the 240V we have here in Switzerland, and I had bad experiences with adapters (as in BZZZZ! PSHHHT! Kaput, if I may say so).

BTW, you are the very first person from Oklahoma I ever meet

Greetings from Switzerland

Good luck finding them.  I have actually sold some B&O stuff to someone in Switzerland.  I also saw that there are some Vox 4500's on Ebay and they are in Oklahoma.  I am sure you will find what you need.

I am sure your stuff would work properly with the right transformer. However, my last experience using 110V with adapters was not exactly a success, and as the saying goes: once burnt, twice shy.

A high concentration of beovox and beolab in Oklahoma?

This just sound like an excellent "X-file" subject: The return of Beowulf: A secret ring of Nordic gods worshiper, astutly disguised as Hi-Fi merchants and afficionnados, prepares for the rise of Walhalla. Everybody who does not own either a drakkar, a broadsword, a battleaxe, or at least a BeoCenter is damned.

Be seing you

Kind regard

Imagine: the rolling hills of Oklahoma under a stormy sky, the sound of Wagner's Walkyrie charge (which system for that?) and Mulder who takes a right turn instead of a left one, as suggested by Scully.

I wanted Beolabs 3000/4500 and I settled down for beovox 5000, which I found almost next door. They are slightly too big for my living room, but Gosh! are they good looking. In terms of sound they are almost as good as the Infinity they replace.

Many thanks for everybody's good advices and especially to Graham and his great brackets.

Be seing you

François
