I feel quite fortunate with my B&O acquisitions, particularly after managing to come across a Beogram 3000 Thorens, and a 12" ST/P arm for it, and shouldn't be complaining.

But I am on the lookout for a complete Beomaster, Beogram, Beocord, Beovox 1200 set - in white. Which is pretty much like hoping you will come across a unicorn in the forest.

Beosystem 1200 was the first "set" offered by B&O, and Jensen did such a wonderful job that I know I will somehow have to manage to put this together, if only to ensure that a pristine set survives for the ages. A few years ago, an English friend of mine who lives in Stockholm sent me an e-mail wondering "Do you reckon this is something to go for?"

It was a link to a Swedish "Craig's List" site (blocket.se), and it was to someone selling a Beomaster 1200 and Beogram 1200, with Beovox 1200 - all in white.

I was tempted to tell my friend "No, I wouldn't go for that." And I'm a little proud that I called him immediately and said "Drop everything, get in your car, go there with what they're asking, and go home a happy man."

He's still very happy. The owners had tended the set with absolute devotion, there wasn't a scratch or blemish anywhere.

Sigh ...

I would like the candle sticks crafted from the upright pole of a BeoVision 7 - 32" motor floor stand. There were a few pairs in the prize draw, but sadly I didn't win them...

Right now, I am very happy of my B&O systems, but a Beomaster 4401/Beogram 4001 setup would compliment my 4400/4002 system very well

I also regret that I sold that 6000 quad, it would be nice to have that in my "collection"

Until I can afford BL5's I'd be very happy with a beogram 8002. Ultimate class in turntables! But they are pretty hard to find in Holland. But I can understand, if I had one I wouldn't want to sell it either

Beomaster 2000 (70's version) & Beomaster 1000.

Verry rarely ever come up for auction in the USA

This was my wish list too until early this year when I got both! White BM2000 was found on a Danish small ads website. Martin [Dillen] did a refurb & recap for me. The quality is amazing playing though S45's.

What do I still want? I want superb design, with internal modules that can be exchanged when the technology moves on. If B&O could produce stand-alone modules that would enable old FM tuners to play NRadio and DAB when FM is phased out they would find a ready market with B&O enthusiasts and newcomers to the brand using older equipment. A very simple B&O branded iPod dock would also sell. The reality is that most of us will use other brand accessories to keep our old B&O alive.

Oh, and a BV10 with BV5 sound. The current model seems to need much better sound to justify the price premium over the competition. Bose have just gone in the opposite direction with a 150mm thick TV that fires the sound out very directionally from the sides to create a surround sound from reflections off other walls.

- A Beogram 7000 turntable with MMC2 system in a as good as new condition in classic black/alu (not all black/not white) for a reasonable price .. searching for almost 8 months now.... there was one as new on ebay, missed it as my flight back from my holidays was delayed.... if you have one for sale, feel free to offer :-)

- Another pair of Beolab 5s for the rear, but my appartment just lacks the space, if we move to a bigger house, this will be my first buy.

Best regards

Stephan

Absolutely nothing.

That is until a month or so when the Encore / Beonet arrives.
