    I heard they had real phono cartridges, but I always wanted a B&O Beogram CDX

    I remember their stuff as looking 60s-Scandanavian-beautiful. But I think I used to see it in expensive trendy places rather than hifi places?

    It *was* good looking.

    One of the YouTube audio reviewers, Passion for Sound is ex B&O and talks about how great specific models were.

    The vague sense I always got is that they had respectable sound, but it was never the best you could get for the price. (Although also tbh, with B&K and B&W out there, it's entirely possible that I conflated impressions of multiple brands.)

    @wbass --- sure the speakers look interesting. I'd like to hear too.

    Wouldn't like to stub my toe on the price tag though. But then that goes for a lot of genuinely desirable things.

    Beoplay H6 was my first pair of full size headphones, I really liked them for what they were

    Yeah, I can't imagine ever owning anything like the BL90, but, anyway, it seems like the kind of statement piece that says, We're also serious about hi-fi. I'd say B&O is somewhere between lifestyle and hi-fi these days, which is where their HPs seem to sit, too.

    I had a Beosound Level loudspeaker for a few weeks when I started dipping my toes into a little more expensive hi-fi. I remember it as being an impressive little thing, sound-wise. Of course, you can get much better sound by very far for the same price, but if a battery powered portable WiFi/BT speaker is what you want, I doubt there is a better offer on the market.

    (Take that with a grain of salt, though, I didn’t have much to compare to at the time.)
