There is a B&O in here but you will have to go looking for it. What would you add?

The BS 9000 was an obvious choice yet disappointing. I was expecting the revelation that all the other modern choices were running ICEpower!
As the article was looking back to the 1950's there were plenty of iconic B&O systems that could have been included, but most article authors cannot bring themselves to acknowledge that, though overpriced, B&O was often technically and aesthetically up with the very best.

Stuff magazine is terrible for making silly jibes about B&O through their magazine. They add, above, "...and that the shuttle accelerates faster than a Ferrari. You probably have one of those, too – in case you need to prove the point."
When Stuff magazine features a new B&O product in their news, they always state it looks amazing and is likely to be amazing, but you would have to be a bit mad to buy one, or completely loaded. Or both.
Strangely though, if you look at Stuff magazine's top ten TVs at the back of the magazine, they list the BV11-40 in fifth position. Such a contraction that magazine!
I guess the other iconic B&O hi-fi product could be the BeoCenter 2. But that's more of a DVD player, I guess?

Well, have to look if there is a bracet to put BS9000 on top of Ferraris dashboard.
They also said "for a while all TV and movie art directors needed to say ‘this character is a) minted and b) quietly sophisticated’ was a BeoSound 9000 lurking somewhere in the background.", Hmmm, was it Transformers movie or ...
blah-blah and photographs as needed
