Description from the seller
Up for auction is a beautiful, iconic pair of Bang & Olufsen Beovox 1702 passive high-fidelity bookshelf speakers, manufactured in Denmark around 1973. Designed by the legendary Jacob Jensen, these pressure-chamber loudspeakers perfectly combine minimalistic Scandinavian Mid-Century aesthetics with excellent acoustic engineering. Despite their compact size, they deliver a surprisingly rich, precise, and warm vintage sound stage.
This specific lot consists of an authentic factory-matching pair with very close, consecutive serial numbers (550675 and 550685), proving they have been kept together since their original production.
Condition Report:
Cabinets:
The genuine Teak Wood cabinets are in excellent aesthetic condition, showing a deep and beautiful wood grain. The distinctive aluminum front trim lines are straight and clean. Only minor, natural signs of age on the wood edges, but exceptionally well-preserved.
The black fabric front frets are fully intact and clean.
Fully tested and working perfectly. Both the woofers and dome tweeters perform flawlessly with great sound clarity.
