    Me too - are you taking the GT6 Peter...I suppose not if you're picking up the Beovox 5000s, but what a great car for such a run!

    Prius I am afraid - though the Triumph is out and about, having just been serviced! Too much to take down - I have my 8002 which Tim is going to fix, the corpse of a Beomaster 4400 - we were going to play a practical joke on B&O by making a 4401 and presenting it to them for the museum but Frede found a real one! Also some bits of a Beolab 5000 and a compute screen - The GT6 wouldn't really be up to it and it doesn't even have a radio so Andy would not be happy!

    Re: Has any member ever gone back to older products?

    salut all

    sad to say i have never progressed to modern day kit - i still live happily with my bc 8500, bc9300, passive penta 1's, my recently acquired mx5500(for 99p) and to a lesser extent my bc4000 although not too happy with it or the x25's

    the only *** in the woodpile(somewhat un pc) are the wharfedales used with the bc8500 although still on the lookout for some more penta's(preferably passives - foam rot and all - the refoamed units are now really excellent - to my rather jaded ears!)

    back to the pastis and marvin gaye

    To be fair there's very little room left for my house keys and wallet in my MGB GT when my girlfriend and I go out for a day trip, once her camera bag, huge handbag, etc. have been loaded up.

    If you need a pitstop on the way past Leeds, you're more than welcome to pay me a visit for a cup of tea :)

    Ee! I'm all of a dither.
    I'm really excited about next week. Fancy being able to make a snap decision like that, in six minutes.
    Now, how the heck can I make a photothread without revealing Peter's identity?

    Poor me, never win owt!

    Get a Cadillac! For a similar trip, I could pack the girlfriend, four friends, three crates of beer, a Beomaster 1200 along with a couple of corpses wrapped in a carpet in the trun... oh wait, I don't have four friends.

    Re: Has any member ever gone back to older products?

    Dear All:

    I actually decided to buy BeoCenter 9300.  It very 80's in its lighting scheme but the exterior design is still fresh.  

    Now I am just looking for a pair of speakers to complement it.

     

     Any ideas?

    Hi Dario. I've had a Beocenter 9300 for about 12 years now and I still love it. I use it with non B&O speakers at the moment, but I'm looking for a different pair. I think the Beolab 8000's look very good in combination with the Beocenter 9300. But for the same kind of money you can get better sounding Beolab 3's. At first I thought this wouldn't look right, but I saw the picture in the 2006/2007 catalogue of the Beolab 3's with the Beocenter 9500, and I like it.
