- B&O has recovered and renovated some of its 1985 Beogram turntables
- Only 100 are available, with corresponding Beolab 8 speakers
- This is the third offer of recreated classics – but you will need deep pockets
Do you want to invest in a new Hi-Fi system in an ecological way? Bang & Olufsen covered it. Meet the Beosystem 3000c, a musical system which reintroduces the plate of Beogram 3000 from 1985. And for 2025, it was recreated and associated with contemporary stereo speakers of Beolab 8 in a coordinated finish of craft nuts.
And it is far from the first rodeo concerned with the planet of B&O. This is the third version of the Recreated Classics series in Bang & Olufsen, an initiative dedicated to the revival of the most emblematic products of the company thanks to the reimcisition, the catering and the relegate.
This is something that B&O defends for a long time under his approach `Cradle to Cradle ” (Read: everything that enters a product should be both removable and reusable), as indicated in depth in the bar of Modular Beosound theater of the company, and more recently with the launch of the 3rd generation of Beosound A1 of the company.
As with the two previous classic (re) outputs of B&O – The 1996 vertical CD player that I heard just over a year ago and the Beogram 4000C hub for the same way initially produced in the 1970s – this series is strictly limited; Only 100 sets numbered individually are available. And they will probably sell as quickly as other offers. Oh, how would I like one!
The name of the game is (and has always been) catering, relegating and aesthetic reinterpretation. With the Beosystem 3000c, the company explains that the nuts made by hand and the reanodized aluminum are there to “unite past and present through original materials which have been preserved, cleaned, improved and in the event test” by the Bang & Olufsen Trust team, Denmark.
B & o champions sustainability and I love it – but upcycled does not mean cheap
If you want to buy used hi-fi for a song, consult the advice of our functionality on how to buy a quality used audio kit (written as part of the 2025 durability week, only a month ago), because the Bang & Olufsen Beogram 3000c category does not fall into the “ “ “ “
Make no mistake, in addition to the solid walnut rear cover and refreshed aluminum panels, there is a new dust cover – and all updated while keeping the floating silhouette and the pioneer pioneer monitoring technology that made the 1985 special model.
Why so dear? Well, it is difficult to completely renovate a hub – probably even more difficult than building one from zero. Here, for example, all the original aluminum components have been dismantled, born and brushed in factory 5 to structure, where each unit is meticulously renovated by hand.
And by finishing the system here, you also get a set of Beolab 8 stereo speakers with matching walnut strips and aluminum shells with pearl birth.
Ready for the delicate corner subject then? Take your friends: the 3000C Beosystem is a price of $ 30,000 / £ 22,100 / € 26,000 (therefore around $ 4,640 A, before shipping and associated rights) and is available from today, May 27, 2025.
No one said that sustainable life would be the cheaper option …
