Could you please also send me a PM regarding the capacitors! Mange tak Brian

I will have to try and fix mine I think as it is not working too well! Where do you buy all the replacement capacitors ( I realise you are in Germany so your local shop would not be much use to me!) - is there an online site? Brian Hampshire, UK

I was playing along with the favourite product rather than products (hence 2 pairs of BL9s rather than pair of 1 BL5s)! I agree the BL4000s look really good and the fact they can be stand or wall mounted in different ways adds to the appeal. Brian

Yes they are still in demand as a place to store other B&O items on occassions or for someone wanting to recreate a model of yesteryear! Which country/county are you in? It gives those interested a guide..... Brian

I did not doubt the continuation of the draws - it is a key feature of this site. It never ceases to amaze me of the quality and diversity of the prizes on offer and the marvellous older items that turn up ! Thanks. Good luck in the forthcoming draw - I have already earmarked how much money I would need to add to the first prize on the LifeStyle web

If money were no object then yes 4 BL5 - but I was suggesting I would rather have 4 BL9 than just one pair of BL5s. Brian

A pair of Beolab 5 for their tonal qualities but 4 x Beolab 9 for their practicality and probably better value for money! Brian

If I can find my 1968 catalogue I could help identify the item! I do not think they go for much as they are too big for many houses and suffer from the inability to move the speakers to accommodate house design! I suspect that is why B&O stopped making them about 3 years before they dropped the same separates used in the combination (ie the BM 900

The P50 and then the P45 were of course designed to complement the BM6000 (I have a 1970s brochure that has some excellent pictures). They were brought in to overcome SWMBO hostility to 4 large boxes (ie 4 Beovox 5700s) in sitting rooms! Personally I think they are a much underestimated speaker - they may not look as chic as the flat panel 3000 and

No a RL 60 stand is much smaller than those for the RL 140s Brian
