B&O’s amazing hoard of vintage products…

[Steve at Sounds Heavenly]

Hi Beoworlders,

I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to Bang & Olufsen for allowing this exclusive private viewing of their amazing historic product collection – this is incredible! The big question is whether I got the list of products correct? 😉

Which one is YOUR favourite item from B&O’s history?

Kind regards, Steve.

Thanks Steve – great video as always!

I think the 3 little TVs on the floor (2 mins in) are MX1500, not 1000. I don’t think there was an MX1000, but could be wrong!

Hello Steve,

My favourite one remains the Beolab 5000 amplifier. No contest. Then, the mighty Beomaster 8000.

Thanks Guy,

yes you are quite correct! They are MX1500 TVs.

I really like the little Beolit 48, even though I don’t have any need for one!

Kind regards Steve.

Thanks Martin!

My B&O product knowledge isn’t the best so always good to have corrections.

Kind regards, Steve.
