Ik heb een set Beolab 8000, waarbij op het stickertje van de ene box de volgende gegevens staan:
BEOLAB: BLAB8000
Type: NO 6801
Serial No: 9733264
Nu probeer ik te vinden uit welk jaar ze stammen, maar een nummer beginnend met 97.. kan ik nergens terugvinden. Iemand een idee?
Dank, PP
Hallo PP,
In deze thread is het te vinden: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/18729/162403.aspx#162403. '93 dus.
Andere serial number threads gaan vooral over de mk2 'bass update' en vanaf wanneer het dempingsmateriaal is verbeterd.
Vooral dat laatste is belangrijk - het schuim dat B&O eerst verwerkte vergaat en tast de printplaten aan. Als je nog lang wilt genieten van deze fijne speakers zou ik dat (laten) checken en/of vervangen.
Groet!
Johan
Hallo Johan,
Dank voor de verwijzing. Ik had inderdaad een dergelijke lijst gezien, maar de verwarring kwam doordat er bij mij geen nul voor de negen staat. Dat is blijkbaar niet nodig, zoals in de lijst wel staat.
Ik zal eens kijken naar het dempingsmateriaal, dank voor de waarschuwing!
Vr. groet,
Paul
There is no serial number beginning with 9.
Recent years begin with 2 - a 9 would indicate a veeeery future version :-)))
Must be a 0 there too.....which would mean a 1996 version.
A 1 would mean around 2006 and they have no ‘foam problems’.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
HI PP and MM,
What I always understood is that (next to the bass update) there also has been a moment in time when B&O changed the drivers. The older versions have the drivers with a little dust cap, the newer ones with larger hollow surfaces. My 8000s have the latler, hollow ones and serial number 13XXXXXX, so around '98.
I found some images on the web showing the difference. Maybe it helps to determine the age of these speakers.
Regards,
Thanks for the answers. I couldn't find anything about the serial number which I found on the speakers. I will try to link to a picture, but I'm not sure if it will work:
second try....

Hi,
I would say (as your serial numbers have 7 digits, and mine, starting with 13, have eight) that they are the "09****** - 1992/1993" ones. The labels just do not carry the 0. Can you tell what kind of drivers are in the speakers?
We will persist!

I removed the covers, hope this will help!

I must correct myself - it seems that there are serial numbers starting with a 9.
You named the reason: those are 7 digits.
Later on (with the change from 9 to 10) they made the now used 8 digits version.
Evening!
Looking at the drivers, these must be the early 8000s. Also check this thread: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/18791/162722.aspx#162722 that is about the 8000s and their changes since launch in '92. In some threads people cannot really tell any difference (sound wise) between early and late 8000s.
I use mine with a BeoMaster 6500 + BeoGram CD 7000. I was able to find a pair of the rubber cable covers that make them look really good.
Enjoy them!
The answer is on the label on the front.
Hi Blackrix,
I think you refer to the MCMXCI (1991), right? I believe that that is some kind of copyright year: also my BeoLabs carry that year indication.
