Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 9000

Bang & Olufsen has always crafted stylish, ultra-premium sound systems, but even the BeoSound 9000 breaks new ground for them. With a funky modern design that can be propped vertically or horizontally, it is an ever-changing piece of art, because your CDs are the decoration. Its see-through front panel lets you watch as the arm of the scanner picks up your disc and spins away for your listening pleasure. And if your finger nudges too close, photoelectric sensors will prevent it from getting chopped into oblivion. With room for six CDs, you get hours of listening and viewing pleasure, plus the BeoSound 9000 can hook up to any of Bang & Olufsen’s ridiculously precise speaker systems for true aural delight.
