At £175, this Bang & Olufsen Beomaster 2400 sits exactly at the 75th percentile of the typical used market, making it a fair but not ambitious price compared to the median of £158 and the 25th percentile of £125. While you could find similar units cheaper near £125, £175 is a reasonable entry point for a clean example rather than a bargain.
This receiver is a worthwhile buy because it pioneered touch-sensitive operation and full remote control, delivering advanced FM stereo performance with 30 watts RMS per channel. Its iconic Danish design and reliable sound quality make it a genuine collector’s piece, especially if it includes original accessories or comes from an original owner. At this fair price, it represents a solid buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking vintage B&O innovation without the risk of overpaying.

Bang & Olufsen was founded on November 17, 1925, in Struer, Denmark, by engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. The company began in the attic of the Olufsen family manor, Quistrup, where the founders developed The Eliminator—a revolutionary device that allowed radios to operate from mains electricity rather than batteries. This innovation established B&O as a forward-thinking manufacturer and set the tone for nearly a century of technological advancement rooted in Danish design principles.
The brand is primarily known for premium audio and home entertainment systems, including high-fidelity receivers, radiograms, cassette recorders, and contemporary loudspeakers. B&O pioneered several category firsts: the world's first button-operated receiver in the 1930s and Europe's first cassette recorder, the Beocord-84U, in the 1950s. Today, the company manufactures integrated audio systems, wireless speakers, and headphones that blend acoustic engineering with sculptural industrial design.
Bang & Olufsen occupies the luxury segment of the audio market, positioned as a premium lifestyle brand rather than a specialist audiophile manufacturer. The company's reputation rests on its distinctive philosophy of merging form and function—treating audio equipment as crafted objects designed to enhance living spaces aesthetically. Recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and maintained as a visionary enterprise for over a century, B&O appeals to discerning consumers who value Scandinavian design sensibility alongside sonic performance.
