Slightly bigger than the Beovox S45 came the Beovox S60 which could handle up to 60W RMS through its four-way driver system.The speaker could be used as either a shelf loudspeaker, mounted on the wall or else could be positioned on its own optional floor stand. A trumpet-type floor stand was available for this purpose.Its driver units comprised a good-sized 250mm woofer, a 125mm phase-link unit, a smaller 50mm mid-range driver as well as a 25mm tweeter.The speaker was considered ‘neither here nor there’ as it was positioned between the S45 and the larger S75having no particular Bang & Olufsen model with which to sensibly use it.Beovox S60 Passive Loudspeakers technical specificationsType: 6303 Continuous load: 60 W Music load: 100 W Impedance: 4 - 8 ohms Frequency response +4 -8 dB: 36 - 20,000 Hz Sensitivity: 5 W Net volume: 28.1 litre Gross volume: 36.9 litre Woofer: 25cm Phase link unit: 12.5cm Mid-range unit: 5cm Tweeter: 2.5cm Dimensions W x H x D: 32 x 59 x 20cm Weight: 11 kg
The Bang & Olufsen Beovox S60 is a revered 1970s four-way Uniphase loudspeaker known for its exceptional clarity and distinctive rosewood or teak cabinetry. At US$354, this listing is a strong deal, sitting well below the typical used market where pairs often range from US$600 to US$750 for good condition sets. Even conservative estimates for single units in decent condition usually hover around US$400–US$450, making this price a clear bargain for a pair if the listing implies a set, or an excellent value for a single unit if that is the case.
These speakers deliver a refined, airy soundstage with precise imaging that still competes with modern designs, thanks to their unique 4-way crossover and phase-coherent design. The primary upside here is the price point relative to rarity; finding S60s in the US market is uncommon, and original rosewood finishes add significant collectible appeal. Unless the listing reveals significant damage, missing grilles, or degraded foam surrounds—a known age issue for this era—the low cost makes this a compelling buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking vintage Danish audio excellence.

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.
