That's because I have a whole pile of money burning a whole in my pocket!

Then £30 won't seem that much for gold membership! Plus, you might win a sound system

How to start your collection? Not with BL6000's! Interesting peoples views and preferences on speaker capabilities but personally this is one of the weaker products in the range, and difficult to defend against the style over performance debate(s). For me, I'd go for BL4000, or if you can afford it, the BL3's which are superb with most types of music, especially electro / classical. Best audition for yourself though!

Agreed! The BeoLab 6000s are fantastic for their size, but I'd only get them if I really absolutely 100% had to get something which visually 'disappeared' or something which meant I couldn't use any other speakers from the range. BeoLab 4000s are sonically better, as well as being cheaper and offer more placement options.

BeoLab 3s and 8000s are also fantastic speakers, or if you find a pair, BeoLab 4500s or 5000s (panel speakers) also produce a fantastic sound!
