Beolab 8000

3 replies
I'm a new member so forgive me if this has been covered before. I'm trying to find out about my late husband's hi fi system. I have a pair of Beolab 8000, 6802 speakers. I've managed to find the serial number 16013449. I would like to know when it was made and is it MK1 or 2. I've found confusing information. Many thanks
Dear Daphne, I get that. Your Beolab 8000's were manufactured in 2002. With this serial number, they are MK1. (serial number 1699 2475 and above are MK2) Best,

Do Mk1 suffer from Foam Rot? something you need to check before you buy.
