I have had a pair of 6002, but I unfortunately sold them. Then it comes to sound the Beolab 6002 can not be compared to the 6000, they are much much better. I also had 6000 at the time and did a comparison, and I was surprised by the huge difference. I was most surprised by the difference in weight, with the 6002 being noticeably lighter. If I find another pair for a reasonable price I will definitely buy them!
I don't remember anyone at the time claiming audio improvements for the X000 to X002 change. I thought the main change was from linear amps to Icepower, primarily to meet EU standby power requirements rather than a performance upgrade.
On the other hand I may have just made all of that up!
Ban boring signatures!
It seems that there is no sound difference for the 8000 MKII vs 8002. For Karel, I did compare the 6002 and 8002 I am owning too: There is a difference to the advantage of 8002, but not big.
6002 sound better than the 6000s especially the earlier 6000s. More clarity and punch in the bass. I heard them both side by side and ended up buying the 6000 (and BL 11) because only the 6000s was in stock in red at the time! It was a really tough decision but the final logic was that the aesthetics was a big reason for the purchase and the red speakers and subwoofer looked amazing. At the time our TV also had a matching frame.
B&O in my life 😊:
