Re: B&O in White

I think it does depend on yoru colour scheme and that of the other pieces of kit - mind you teh white would look great next to a Mac and iPod in white - the philosophy maybe ties in with an earlier thread on Braun design?

I saw the white BV today at my dealers and it looked really cool - much better than I imagined. My favourite colour schemes have always been the black and silver ones and it's easier to match components up - even from a different era

I like it.

The LX5500 is white and black. Looks stylish enough. The Attyca II is still nice and about 8 in condition.

I got a white Beosystem 6000(I only need 120 speakers and maybe a stand in white) but its a bit more yellowish for some reason. When I look at pictures like this site it does seem to be the same.

It could get too white though. Now I have rosewood and white 6000/8000 system depending on what is for service(Dillen). It looks good on the Attyca with the rosewood.

It depends on what product and how it looked/performed/fitted in owerall.

My Tama Granstar drumkit is big with now 10 toms and double bass but I wanted them white and that's what I found(exept one tom). When I set it up it also had some yellowish but after a major cleanup are nearly back to the original white.

The Beonic Man:
That's an interesting thought Henry. I can definitly see a white Serene working very well. Might even tempt me to buy one! I loved the white mobiles the minute they came out, and the some of the pink ones! Dare to be different, I love that philosophy and B&O does it better than most.

Agree,

a friend has a white Nokia (don't know which model) and it looks quite extravagant

My Beosystem 6500 is white as well and even though not many people here like white for their A/V-products,

they do like the white Beosystem, especially the MCP 6500.

If anyone wants a BeoCom 4 in white, I'm your man

I agree with Simon that a white BeoCom 2 might not look so great. However, if the white was given a metalic icey-white colour I think it would look fab! I really like the white BV8, but unfortunately I bought my black BV8 before there was any talk about a white one! I would quite fancy my Serene in white!

I bought a white BC6000 in December. It looks great next to my Wii, but I admit I don't use it that much for fear of it getting dirty (I've heard newspaper print is especially bad). It is not a million miles away from the light grey - In bad light you can't tell the difference.

Really do like the look of the Beocom 2 in white. Been trying to get the WAF on one of these beauties for ages, not working though. If B&O do a Beocom 4 in white though no problem there. On the subject of white MX's I love mine. Think it looks fantastic in white IMO.

At least B&O considers these changes and are willing to take a chance. While "I" might not pick white for a phone, some would love it and thats great. I really like the white BS 1.

I wish they would do something with the BL-2 color choices. The current greyish color matches nothing in the current loudspeaker line-up. I am nearing the purchase of one of these beasts and have contemplated having it painted black or maybe blue like Peter has done.

I know the minute I buy one and go to the expense of having a good paint job done on it, B&O will decide to offer a color choice!

Does anyone know if it will be possible to swap the shell of an old Beocom 6000 to the new white?
Yes it can and it is very easy to do, you can buy the front's at your dealer!!

And now,

What about a white HDR (like the old VX series), a white BeoLab3 (like the Red Line) and a white BeoSound 5 (like the old BeoSystem) !

All paired with a white BV8 !

Very classy !

May be one day...

I'm really not sure how i feel about the white. I like it, but i would NEVER buy it.

The strange thing is I love the white stuff apart from the white MX. Actually my MX is black. Exception to the rule?
