Thanks for that Hiort but I was hoping for somewhere in the EU. There would be a lot of customs and VAT and paperwork to post it there.

Lee- Keith and all the Mod’s , thanks for all your work.

The prizes are not important but I did win 3 times.

Increase the price of membership and reduce prizes to once a year.

I cannot believe it was 10 years ago since the trip to Struer.

Keep up the good work .

When I had the MK1 from new I used a BL2000 and I enjoyed them.

Bravo Matador !

Nice one Steve.

I have 2 pairs and like them a lot.  I use them as extra speakers to a BV 7 with a Beocenter 2 attached. This is in an apartment where going on the wall with the BV optimises space. They sound good to me to enjoy the music and TV.

The second pair are rears on another BV and again the sound great.

To me a BL 12 1-3 is a the same any other speaker you consider, it depends on your space and confines.

If I put my BL 1s on with the BL2 (second Bl2 going on soon ) in the apartment I would get to meet all the neighbours in a hurry.

I am sure the felt pads you buy for furniture in a DIY place will suffice.

Did 8000’s not come with adjustable feet ?

The 7-32 is just a screen. You will need speakers and a stand of some description depending on where you are putting it.

Hi , I have had these from new and while I loved the design I was not too impressed with the sound. I added a BL 2000 and it was imo a different experience.

To be fair to the speakers you have they are 25 years old and might have been well used, so you are probably not getting any thing  like the original sound.  The Mk ll version I believe was better but I have not personally listened to them.

If possible  try to listen to another set of 8000’s to see if its a sound you like before considering refurbishing them .

I have not been in a town or City with a B&O shop since before the whole Corona show.

A new one has opened in Dublin at the old location so if I get back in a few months I will call in and see who’s behind  it.

I must be a slow adapter as all my gear is from the last century 🙂
