i can only say for some of the items i had or have til now..
- BS 9000 most iconic B&O surce ever..
- BL8000 most iconic B&O speakers ever
- BL 4000 best of the best price performance speakers ever..
- BS 2300/3000 evergreen surce
my wish for next ten years ... BL 18, 19, 5 or 50 afrer some price drop.. :)
Avant - Outstanding at the time.
Beosound 9000 - Design icon and no one came close
Beolab 8000 - Another icon.
Beocom 2 - Really different and not the best ergonomics but still an icon of its time
Beo4
Beolab 3500
I would like to mention Beocenter 2 - I owned one and I still miss those perfectly brushed aluminium wings that slided apart and revealed the CD platter. It brought a smile on my face each time.

In my opinion the two-way communication (especially in conbination with a Beolink7000) deserves a honorable mention as it was really ahead of it's time taken in account all the possibilities in a home System (including lights, etc..).

Theomaster
Vintage Bang & Olufsen
1. TV BeoVision Avant 32 DVD. Way ahead of the competition at the time
2. Audio System BeoSound 900. This one goes without saying
3. Loudspeaker Beovox M70. I own Beolab 8000's, Lab 5's, Lab 3's, Beovox M100's and many more of the smaller loudspeakers. All offer a different sound but to me the M70's offer the best sound. Just seen a pair on eBay for very little money. Not in great condition but if you haven't listened to a pair you really should.
4. Phone BeoCom 2
5. remote Beo 4
6. link product All Beolink. It took years for the competition to realise how much people wanted a link system
7. all other you want to mention - but only one product. Begram 4000. Just an amazing thing to just look at. The New York MoMA agree
Hi Adrian,
Couldn't fill them all in, but I added some categories.. hope you don't mind!
1 TV : (Can't say yet.. still saving:)
2 Modern Audio System : Beocenter 9300 mirror version (A real eye catcher, and with a better cd mechanism then the 9500)
3 Vintage Audio System : Beomaster 900 (amazing sound and nice wooden case)
4 Loudspeaker : Beovox RL 1000 (authentic B&O design)
5 Wireless Speaker : Beoplay S3 (amazing sound for the price, can be used as a single unit or when you have two configured into stereo mode)
6 Phone : Iphone with a B&O lock screen (which is a just a plagiarized and late Beocenter, compressed into a phone)
7 Remote : Beolink 1000 (can't be destroyed, slim look and way more solid then the much loved Beo4)
8 Portable Radio : Beolit 707 (amazing design and sound)
9 Link product : (Can't say, didn't need it till now)
10 All other you want to mention - Beotime clock (best looking time there is!!:)
1. ?

7. all other you want to mention - but only one product: BeoSound 2 (The mp3 player)

3. Loudspeaker Original S45 or S45/2
4. Phone The banana phone was iconic.(The Serene was a great disappointment but it did have the unpublicised ability to store everything in its dock. If you bought a supposedly 'Wiped' phone second hand, you suddenly got all the previous owners calls texts and pictures reinstalled after docking the phone!)

1. AV5 - yes, I know, CD-I what a fiasco, but the picture quality was amazing and the people I worked with on my thesis at B&O at the time held this higher than the Avant, and the speakers were really cool.
3. Beolab Penta - still going strong
6. LCS 9000
7. Beocenter 9500 - my first B&O equipment, still going strong, and what a beauty... :-)
