You know when you have lost the plot when you realise you still have a pair of BeoLab 5000 speakers unboxed from two years ago awaiting installation.
What B&O equipment have you forgotten about ?
we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
Thanks Mark for this thread!
it just remembered me that I have a brand new set of Beolab 5 in the basement that are waiting for installation for 4 years ;-)
I will install them this week end...
just kidding of course, and I think that on this enthusiast forum, boxed items are just staying unused because their owners doesn't have the place to install them, because 3 hifi in the same room is enough!
On my side, I bought a Beolink converter in something like 2000 because I found a great price on it and thought that it would be useful one day when I would want to link my Beocenter 2300... In fact, I only started using it in 2012, as a way to link my BV8 to my BeoSound 5 Encore... It was never forgotten, just waiting for its time...

My Beocenter 9500. That thing is so wide I have NO where to put it right now. Oh how I wish B&O had had the forethought to make a vertical oriented stand (and of course the mechanics to support it in the CD player) for the BC9xxx series as they WISELY did for the BS9000. I would throw the 9000 in a closet in an INSTANT and put the 9500 in its place if such an arrangement were available.

Not exactly what you are looking for (100% vertical) and good luck finding an OEM stand, but ... the BC9x00 series can be inclined ~30°-35° or thereabouts.
OT: I am no Dillen/BM1000 type of guy, but I mentioned long ago having boxes that I opened simply to make sure I had not been sent cinder blocks. Just a "valid" visible likeness though the top bubble-wrap is good enough for me!
Beosystem 3300 . I even bought the 3300 remote off Burantek to complete the system. Fully restored new caps belts etc. Cosmetically super clean - pristine. I even obtained a new/unused old stock OEM turntable dust cover
I have no where to put it.
Odd looking set for B&O but a good sounding set none the less.
Not forgotten but it is more about where they might be since I moved the last time.
