Right - I'm moving somewhere slightly smaller in a couple of weeks, and need some advice about what to downsize from my collection. I don't really want to lose anything, as I have storage, but needs must (poor medical student etc.) so I have to lose something from the following:
Beosystem 5000 (BM 5000, BG 5005, BG CD50, BC 5000)
Beosystem 6000 (BM 6000, BG 8002, BGCDX2, BC 8004)
Part of Beolit Collection (600[60s] 600[70s])
BG 4002
That list isn't my full collection, but represents what I am prepared to part with. Anyone got any ideas what to do? My initial thoughts are that the Beosystem 6000 is rarer and will be much harder to replace in the future than the Beosystem 5000, but I'm just not sure...also, as I already have two 1970s Beolit 600s and plan to keep the rarer red model, should I ditch the black one over the 1960s 600 which is possibly rarer and adds some depth to my collection? I really fancy keeping the BG 4002 too, to use with my new BM 6000 4 Channel amp, but again I suppose needs must. A good 4002 will probably be hard to find again in five or six years time, won't it?
I'm leaning towards losing the Beosystem 5000, but I do like the depth it gives my collection (BM 8000 and 6000 are very similar after all). Mmm. Any thoughts??
