Hi, brand new here but following beoworld quite a while.
I need advise on logical replacement models on my equipment that got lightning damaged a few days ago. Sources in South Africa are quite limited and dealers have not even heard about some of my stuff... In brackets are what I think it could be but need confirmation.
BEOLAB Penta 2 (Beolab 50/90)
Belab 8000 (Beolab 18)
Beolab 2 (Beolab 19)
Beloab 7.1 (Beosound stage)
Beolab 4000 (Beolab 17)
Is there maybe anothee manufacturer which is on the same level as B&O as my
Beosound 9000 & Beogram 5000 also got damaged.
My Insurance replaces "new for old" so I need a faur as possible new replacemwnt value or product
Will the beogram 4000 c become available outside Europe and South Africa?
A lot of questions for a first timer. Hope someone can help and give some direction.

Nice to see a fellow South African! Where about are you situated in SA?
Hi
I'm from Pretoria and you? Quite a mission to get parts for stuff
I am in Durban which is 50 times more difficult to get anything as there are no B&O shops.
I have a couple of contacts at B&O headoffice which helps a bit. BT Games have the B&O agency in South Africa.
Sorry to hear about all the damage you sustained. Does the insurance collect the damaged B&O or are you allowed to part with as you see fit?
I'm waiting for the asessor to visit. I need to get those replacement models to further the claim. I think they will let me dispose myself if they feel the weight and see size... Luckly I've got doubles of most. Send me your contact email, we can communicate directly.
I have sent you a direct message via the forum, should come through on your e-mail.
Thanks
No insurance company wherever they are in the world would ever offer a BL50 as a replacement for Penta speakers regardless of a new for old clause. Insurance is based on many factors including the initial purchase price relative to the time of replacement and there is far too much of a price differential between these two speakers. You might get offered a pair of BL20s if you’re lucky as they would be the more logical replacement if anything. Keep us posted.
B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.
