The full range of cables to connect B&O products old and new can be seen on Steve's website here: soundsheavenly.com If these videos have helped you to enjoy your Bang and Olufsen products, please consider buying Steve a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/soundsheavenly - many thanks!

Heritage of sound Equips

Having owned a good many Bang & Olufsen products since the late 60's, the walk through the collection is a trip down memory lane. When Apple introduced the Gen 4 iPod, I personally felt that Bang & Olufsen should have been the inventor, they certainly had the experience with capacitance touch control. Later on I enjoyed the ICE audio processor. Today, I'm retired, almost deaf from tinnitus caused by long haul COVID, so much of what I hear is from memory. But, the deal is I once heard it produced the best possible way at the time, with Bang & Olufsen technology.

on the search for some videos, pictures ... for my newly aquired 1949-50 Grand Pix 505k and after looking throught the video fall In love with their 30s Tabletop- and cabinet radios

What a great video. The 1970's music centres are my favourites.

Awesome collection. My favourite is the BM8000 system combined with MS150s

Such a nice experience...I would not say that I'm an absolute fan of B&O but I remember, more than 30 years ago when I moved from my countryside to Paris, just round the corner where I'm still living now, there was a huge B&O shop, now of course closed for years. I still regret that I had no money at this time (but I should have gone to visit my banker) and buy a beocenter + the iconic Beogram 4002.

I like the old portable radios. I own a mint Beosystem 10, which is basically a portable receiver with a phono section and speaker outputs. I also own a pair of Beovox CX-50 speakers, a restored Beocenter 7700 with remote, a restored Beogram 4004 modified to use RCA plugs, and a fully restored Beogram 8002, a really fascinating design as the motor has no moving parts. The 4004 is my favorite piece. It was one of those audio products from the seventies when I was in high school that sent me on an audiophile path. The 8002 may be a better table than the 4004, but I just love the 4004 design better. Because of room limitations, none of these components are on display and are stored away. I've moved on to better stuff so I can't display them.

All of them!

🥰I Am Completely Spaced Out...! 🤩

I like to see the Great design of Bang & Olufsen, and their development. I remember when I was a child/teenager in the seventies, I was impressed by the design of Beomaster 1900 (my best friend parents had this masterpiece - just touching it and it changed channel 👍👍). Later on I got a Beogram 1200, my first record player together with a JVC amplifier. I was fascinated by Beogram 4000 and the pickup in the right angle, so I wanted the Beogram 8000 and I had to save money enough, so I could buy it (working as a newspaper delivery in the afternoon). Maybe the fascination of the technics (and my skills in math/physics) that I’m an Engineer today. You don’t always know exactly why you choose to be Engineer, carpenter or electrician…. 👍 P.S. Thanks for giving me a hint to see this KZfaq 👍

Amazing collections here; I am a Bang & Olufsen enthusiast, but most of what is displayed here, I have never seen them before. Thanks, Steve.

I have a BeoVision MX4200 CRT and love it. I use it mostly for retro gaming

Another top drawer presentation Steve. Blinking wonderful to see them all together.

My absolute favorit system, and also the one i've got at home, is the beomaster 4400, with the beogram 4002. Absolutly amazing, and i've had mine go through an A-Z restauration, with all new components, pickup, oak wood work and so on. Looks and works like brand new. I enjoy it every single day, and even though its a system from the late 70s, its still great design, og looks absolutly amazing. That aside, WHAT a beautiful collection this is! A masterclass in history, design and futuristic thinking. Thank you for sharing this with us, Steve. 😊😊

this is nice!!! i recognize a lot of the tv sets :) the MX1000 is actually a MX1500 and it's a Philips CP90 on the inside with adjustments to work with the Beolink 1000.. the 2 MX4000 tv's are MX4200 tv sets, because they have a FLAT tube from panasonic instead of the philips tube :) yeah i know... details details, but wow, what a collection :D

I just got done watching the 8000 vs 6000. And I agree, with the caveat that as long as the audio setup is not the cheapest of today’s devices, and they are combined and connected. With the intention to be enjoyed, and thought, put into the sound. The craftsmanship and design of these beautiful equipment. Close your eyes and watch these beautiful pieces of history, being created. A man with his tools beside him. He has in his hand, a tool. His focus, intent, he is working the material into the piece of art, that is in front of you, today. Now, you are looking at the first caretaker, of this creation. They are sitting, listening to the music, just enthralled into the music. Now, it’s the holidays, family, friends, parties. At last, there is a new one. Who is this, and why am I being taken away. Now, we are in another room. There is someone else. They are listening to the music. They have the same look as the first caretaker, because they are enjoying the sounds produced, by the design and engineering. That many people put into it. There is more of a relaxed sound being produced. There is a softness, along with an imperfection or two, when looked at closely. Nothing that a polish, and a touch up, will not fix. Each one of these being presented, has a story, and they all begin with a spark. That spark is the ideal for a better sound. A better sound for one place, not everywhere. It might be for a really large listening room. It might be for a small listening room, one as small as half of an motel room, even one that is portable, and meant to be brought in, then taken. I look at audio setups, wether Bluetooth speakers, or full fledged, latest design and technology. Like food. If you change a set of speakers, but everything else is the same, and adjusting the settings for the new speakers. It will sound familiar, yet different. Even when the capacitors is needed to be changed. The change in them, will change the character of the sound produced. People who don’t know, or don’t care, hear bass and treble. They need to care and be explained what they are hearing. Some of the subtle sounds and nuances, will be overlooked. Just as a non foodie will not notice, the difference between spices, which others would pick up that, a cheaper spice was used. You just got to look at some wonderful pieces. Thank you for sharing. You have a new sub.

Still got my yellow wall mounted Beocom phone like the blue one on the right at 2:31! awesome design (with memory for 10 numbers :P )

Super !!!

I bought my RL7000 in 1996 used in pristine condition, and they sound really great even today! They are so inobtrusive that people don't realize what they are! One of my best purchases. It would take some really expensive speakers to replicate the sound.

What an incredible collection. Thanks for sharing what must have been a very special moment for you.

Their 70's gear is the best. I've got fully functioning 4400 system - the holy grail of B&O !

What a hoard of cool gear !

hello Thank you for showing the famous B&O collection since my childhood we still keep some complete range of Beo system even today they are impressive in design and beauty and quality. from: belgium.

Ahhh B&O heaven ... some of my units are there displayed proudly ,,, I should do the same

Fascinating. A beautiful collection that deserves to be shown to Beofans ( like us 🙂). Thanks for sharing. Always makes me happy when I see a Beocentre 7002 in a video.

Cool video, Steve! Thank you for sharing.

It was great seeing the Beogram 4000 there. In the 70s I was a teenager and I had become really good at setting up turntables, all that stuff about tracking force, bias, cartridge alignment is kind of in my blood. Anyway in the 70s of course the Beogram 4000 appeared and that was revolutionary. However I never owned one, but it was the best. I also really loved the Beosound 9000 which is in that collection and the Beolab 5s however I don't think I saw them in that wonderful collection, but maybe they passed by quickly amongst all the other stuff. The open reel tape decks were really interesting for me because I was also very good at setting those up in the 70s and 80s, however I never owned or even saw a B & O one.

I love the ICONS from the 90ies ❤

Fantastic video. Saw a lot of my stuff , which I have collected over 20 years . I have the cube table / unit( grey + black ) , which I sit some of my stuff on . Never never seen before . I have an B&O umbrella, clock , toy models, books , CDs, Head phones , remotes , watches , and a super model of a collection of B&O products in mini form . Thanks again . B&O is my porn 🙈🙉🙊🥂🥳 Fantastic

Over the years I have been able to collect so many wonderful B&O units .I was right to do this .I had to levae behind so many great units when i moved from the US to my actual location .And i feel sad ..But i still have a great collection two 4002 ,I even have a quadraphonic amplifier , i have a couple of Biocenter 95. 4 biolab 6000 sets one Beolab 8000 CD rx2 and so many units ,that i only desire one set the quadraphonicBiomaster 6000 .. Not to confuse with the slanted Biomaster 6000 that i also own and love !.. If Pioneer and Sansui are like Toyota reliable great etc. B& O is like a Ferrari

Why could we tune into all these radio stations all across the world back in the 50s and not today???

Great video

Thanks for sharing, have recently rejoined the B&O fold and will be restoring an Beomaster 8000

My dad had that shaver! shown in a red box. What an amazing collection. Thanks for sharing Steve. All items seem to be in such a good shape. Are there anything in the collection that B&O did not already have in their museum?

Mine is B&O turntable 8000. And beogram receiver 900M radio. Hajitoler M type speakers

i love B&O but in holland they dont like it so i buy it al for a couple of euros .. they all buy the bose stuff what i dont like... thanks for showing this awesome brand !!

It’s an Aladdins cave of BnO heaven

I couldn't see the Beocenter 3600 there, which my dad still has.

Imagine if the collector had everything set up and working. Some beo home that would have been! 🧐

I just so happen to have been given 2 boxes with b&o microfones, and I am not quite sure if they are bm 5’s or bm 6’s, but I am looking to sell Them as I dont have a use for Them and would love for Them to go to someone who would really love them in their collection

11:49… is a Beogram 4000, not a 4002

I’ve noticed the bang & olufsen beomaster 3000-2 has input for loudspeakers beside the normal A and B . What is the purpose behind this?

I use my beosound 9000 (mk3) every day and its in perfect mint condition...

Was the collector Beomonkey? He has sold some really real pieces and still is on Catawiki

Hi is their any way i can connect 6000 speakers to my A9 3red gen together

Is the museum open in summer??

Is it possible to use powerlink and the amp to drive passive speakers at the same time in the Beomaster 8000?

0'37" Beomaster 1100 not 4000

B&O needs to get back to more affordable cool designs like in the past. Young consumers don't own stereos because of the cost and boring Bluetooth systems. Their marketing division is lost.

i can fix that cd flap on the 5500

Front cover to repair on B&O country. Can you show Thirs. Thans

Their gear from the 70's , 80's ,90's up to c 2011 was the best , Jacob Jensen and David Lewis both design geniuses Designs definitely gone downhill since then imo
