Secondlife apparatuur – bang & olufsen m. Troelstra: te koop aangeboden: beolab 8000 silver/black incl floorstand de beolab 8000, liefkozend 'orgelpijp' of 'potlood'
The timing is mixed: BeoLab 8000 is a classic design and still a very livable active speaker, but it’s also an older generation with no modern DSP or wireless convenience, so the asking price has to be judged against condition and service history. At €599, it sits above your €548 75th percentile, so this reads as ambitious rather than fair; I’d want extras or clearly exceptional cosmetic/mechanical condition to feel good about it.
That said, these are well-liked for their slim profile, easy placement, and surprisingly open, room-filling sound for the size, which is why they remain desirable on the used market. If the pair is clean, fully working, and ideally comes with stands/cables, there’s still real upside in buying a known B&O staple—just make sure the drivers, amplifier sections, and sockets are all healthy before paying a premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
