A B&O collector might like this. I would have it as a second systems but SWMBO said no, I always liked my sister-in-laws in Denmark, they have a great sound. I came across this complete Beogram 9000 system it is in good condition and is a working, the TT works but needs a new cartridge (I think about £200). The seller sent me videos of it working CD and Cassette, it sound pretty OK, it was his wife's cousin who owned it from new but has passed away. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403066471019 |

It might well go for a low price, as the seller has no feedback.

Worth a punt for anyone living out that way. Hang onto it for a few years and make a pile of money
Go there to collect and if wrong in anyway don't pay just walk away

I've always loved the aesthetics of their kit. It's so "Space 1999".

I seem to be the only person on the planet who hates the look of B&O stuff.

I'm there with you, Chris. Too skinny and all a bit contrived I feel.

Yes, and it's too obviously 'designed' for me.

Back in the day B&O seemed to be for middle-class punters who wanted to show off to their friends. Most unsavoury.

My mum had an all in one plus speakers set up. Bet it cost
Probably influenced by my middle brother.
No, she didn't ask me

Some of their designs look good. However, I've never heard B&O sound more than average.
They do have some very high end speakers but I've never heard them.
