Peter :
Not sure what the gripe about the BM1600 is either! It was a splendid design if a little impractical and even boasted a glass display panel. The indirect coupled amplifier was a disappointment following the excellent BM1500 though and longevity was certainly not a strong suit!

Well, I can only speak for myself but I really hate the BM1600 design. It is the only Beomaster that I never felt like buying the instant I found it in a second hand shop.

Friedmett:
What about Beovox X35's ???

Actually the X35 is not quite as awful! It did at least get a dome tweeter. Not unlike the S30 in many ways which was a pleasant little speaker. The X25 I think however is not quite as bad as portrayed - it had no pretensions really.

I don't know, maybe its just that I'm used to American politics...but the poll seems rigged somehow.

All you haters of the Beocenters 2xxx, are you forgetting the Beomaster 1600?

That is simply appalling compared to ANY other Beomaster/center they ever made

Never realised what I would start with this topic. I'ts been going on for days now.
And in recognition of this I thought it might be a good idea to make a poll of it, it's been a while since we had one. I've listed the main contenders from the thread.
VOTE X25's!!
Chris.

For me, the BeoSound6 is one of the ugliest B&O-products ever.

BeoSound 6 doesn't count - it's a Samsung design!
