What is next for B&O recreated classics
8 replies
What do current B&O owners of vintage classic products want B&O to recreate for a reasonable price. All though the 72-22 and 9000c are quite exquisite but also not affordable for most.

I'd love to see a reissue of the Beocenter 9500, with a DAB tuner and Bluetooth. That would be superb!

My B&O Icons:
Beofan for many years with a penchant for 1990s audio systems.
I agree.
Beocenter 9500 is an iconic creation of J. Jensen.
It would pair with D. Lewis Beosound 9000.

My B&O Icons:
Infected at the age of 13 by a BG 4000 in Dad's Hifi shop.
Would be great to have a MP3 drive upgrade for the 2500, 2300, Overture, 3000, and 3200
This be one of the most loved Bang and Olufsen players around, true magic from David Lewis, a upgrade set will be in high demand for all owners.

Beolab 4500 and/or 5000 with ICE power amps and build-in Mozart streamer with new BLxx00 displays (higher resolution, more info + control of streamer)
A BeoCenter 9300 with touchscreens under the doors: for music selection on one side, and beolink control on the other side!

My B&O Icons:
Beomaster 1900 is a true classic.
Keep the 1900 design but replace the plastic "wood" sides with true wood (could be either light or smoked oak).
Rename TAPE to AUX.
Maybe add datalink to the Phono socket so it can control newer turntables like BG3000.
Replace the bulbs with warm LEDs and upgrade the volume steps to 32 like the BM1900-2.
The whole hardware needs of cause a radical service (new caps, trimmers, indicator masks, potentiometer repair ect.), and maybe the output power stage could be replaced with ICEpower modules.
Make it "online" so you can stream music directly to it and control it from the B&O app.
Let it be controlled by e.g. Beolink1000/Beo4 (maybe even Beoremote One).
Maybe add a DAB+ receiver inside.
And the list can continue...
