Bang & Olufsen - Beosystem 2500 Stereo set

BEOSYSTEM 2500 PLUS BEOLAB 2500

David Lewis’s Beosystem 2500 marked a new era of design for hi-fi. In its design, he aimed to emphasize the function of the machine. The front is protected by a Perspex eyeshade that slides inward when in use. Lewis introduced the flat, upright shape that has come to characterize his Bang & Olufsen designs.

Beosystem 2500, as it was called when used with BeoLab 2500 active speakers, was developed from the idea of a flexible music system capable of competing with the sound quality of heavy music systems. Thanks to the advent of active speakers, this became possible with both Beocenter 2500. Each of the powerful bass and treble units was equipped with its own separate amplifiers. Additionally, the electronic cross-over network ensured full bass reproduction.

The loudspeakers were located on both sides of a centre console, where two clear glass covers automatically glided to the side when a hand was passed in front of them. Behind the glass covers, there was access to the operating panel, receiver, CD player, and a cassette recorder.

The receiver allowed the option of presetting 2 x 20 FM/AM radio stations. The cassette recorder featured Auto Reverse, Automatic Recording level, search function, and Bang & Olufsen’s HX-PRO recording system, a system that ensures the sensitive treble range is captured during recording. The memory in Beocenter 2300’s CD player allowed you to edit up to 100 CDs.

This specific set is in very good condition, with doors, radio, and CD functioning very well. The cassette, despite having new belts, is sometimes reluctant to play, but it works.

All cables and connections are included as long as a wall stand is used.
Complete rabbit antenna is also included, but it needs adjustment in the plastic piece to attach to the system.

If the auction reaches €500, I will include a Beo 4 remote control.
