Could at least have used the BL5's!

What a Dorklehead...

32kg of gold is 1,024 ounces. At $2,000 per oz. that would make it worth $2,048,000. So it's worth over $2 mill. without the diamonds? What a bargain..

If you spend 1,8 milion for a stereo you wouldn't buy a high-end?

I would spend less money for gold and more for a better stereo. B&O is good, but no high-end.

If you're going to go that far, do you not think it'd be an idea to get speakers and a music system which matched aesthetically? The BeoLab 8000 is exactly the same height as the 9000 on a floor stand.. Any goon who Googles the BeoSound 9000 would see an image of them together!!

As for what has been done to them - what a waste of gold and diamonds. Looks awful - and is the audio equivalent of coating a BMW 318i in bling.. Why not do all that to a pair of BeoLab 5's if you really have to. At least then the sound would match the frankly stupid price tag.

Only my opinion though. I'm sure there's someone out there, either with a hairy chest and a medallion (plus a lottery winners cheque) or a bank account with more zeros than a binary convention who will love this. I don't - but even if i did, i couldn't afford half a speaker !!

all new bs9000 come with red on/off buttons now, so it could be the latest one

The photos look beautiful against the black backdrop.

I'm sure it plays better too; Just like the red calipers that make my Porsche go faster.

To each his own.

Interesting how you can take 3 very desirable products (B&O, Diamonds & Gold) & turn them into something so incredibly tasteless. I'll wait down at our local tip for when the buyers of this rubbish get bored & decide to sling it.

They are hideous, but I'm sure there are equally hideous locations where they will fit just brilliantly (pardon the pun)...

I think the 6000's would look better with gold frets…...

andreabang — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:02:42 GMT

i don't understand why the chose the average beolab 6000 for that amount of money (ok easy goldplate...not a valid reason)

p.s: the pictures are horribly photoshopped

Can B&O sue them for defamation of design??
