I've never heard of beolist.

Before I joined BeoWorld, I did join the official B&O forum. Back when I knew precisely nothing about the stuff! I think the forum got cancelled before anyone answered my question!

Actually this is from Beolist, an email based forum, which still exists as a Yahoo forum, though unfortunately with almost no traffic. I am not sure why it stopped - a lot of the original members of Beoworld were also members of BeoList. Some of the features were difficult to update - I couldn't add to my collection list for instance.

There have been a number of B&O forums - BeoList and the B&O Message board spring to mind. The latter was the first forum I came across but was plagued with pop ups. Still exists - again, no traffic! B&O have now tried twice - I don't think they could cope with the negative threads.

Is that an artifact of the "old" forum?!

Very interesting read! Wish he would say a little more about the 3500.

I have only heard the 6000 (pre-icepower) once and I think I'm with this guy. I loved the way they sounded.

This shows why we always suggest listening for oneself. What one person likes may not be your taste at all. I don't like 6000s much - I find then lacking in bass and lightweight - he finds then clear and detailed. Probably the same sound but interpreted in different ways!

I agree about good passive speakers - I prefer units with a big bass driver - they seem to give more detail in the bass. However active speakers are clearly the way to go for accuracy. Still not heard a speaker as good as a Beolab 5.

Hello,

I think that the best is to search for speakers that were designed during the period that you prefer in terms of Music. For me it is the 80's, and I find that the speakers of this period give me the "best" experience. I am actually no fan of the newer speakers, although I am sure that they have a technically better sound.

Of course I wonder what people who like Mozart should buy, if they used my formula

Be seing you

François

Oh yes - many years ago I did own a Beomaster 6000 together with Beovox MC 120.2. This was a good match and the speakers did play as a dream for many years. Later on came Beolab Penta (3) and now it is Beolab 9.

But sometimes I miss the "old sound"!

A good read. But I much prefer the older Beovoxes to either the 6000's or 8000's. Give me some s120's any day (except for the looks, people just love shiny towers!)

I found that document in old papers.

It's quiet interesting even if it's not up to date.

I like the 8000's being dated in 2000...
