greetings everyone, and i apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum to post this, seemed like the more approriate one. i'd really appreciate any help you folks might give me regarding this matter.
my name's diogo and i'm writing from Portugal. i've been a fan of B&O all my life but never had the funds to invest seriously. recently, i finally found a completely serviced and brought back to spec BeoMaster 1900 for 200 euros. this has always been my favourite B&O amp in terms of design and something that's been on my mind for many years after seeing one working at a relative's house about 10 years ago.
basically, i want to build a vintage system around it, but not necessarily with the correspondent 1900 pieces. for instance, i want to get the 1900 cassette deck, but i also need a cd player, and the one that seems to match it properly, looks wise, is the BeoGram CD3500. i also would like to know what would be the best passive speakers for it, in the visual vein of the S45-2s, or if these can do it justice.
this is what i've settled for so far:
- BeoMaster 1900
- BeoGram CD3500
- BeoCord 1900 cassette deck
regarding the turntable (BeoGram 1902), i would like to know if this one's nice enough, or if something from the next generation would be more advisable and widely available (ex.: Beogram 2402 or 2400), same with the speakers.
of all these pieces, the only thing i already own is the BeoMaster 1900. i'd really love to surround it with something that makes it justice, and matches it visually.
thank you very much in advance for any help.
