Need suggestion instead of a Beosound 3200


Hi everyone, I am new to the whole scene and really enjoy A'Gon. I am seeking some assistance on finding if there is anything better/preferable to the Bang & Olufson Beosound 3200 cd player system for the same or lower price. (Ideally in the $1500 - $3000). I hope to get a used one but really have not read much about B&O on this site and wondered why? Or are there better products for the same price. Thanks.

Linn Classik; integrated amp with CD player and optional AM/FM. Hard to beat this with a pair of nice little moniters like Linn tukans.
Hi! Agreed with Slappy! But you don't need 3k to stomp the B & o CD player. For around $1000 to $1500, you can stomp the B & o CD player.

I don't wish to be accused of product killing but the fact of the matter is we audiophiles are very particular if not obsessive about sonics. The reason we spend hard-earned cash on this hobby is that we wish to have the aural experience that the musicians are in the room with us. Not easy as most professional musical instruments cost more than our cars.

Just know what you are buying and know why you are buying it. If that makes you happy, go for it. But sound wise, not a good move. Investment wise, also not a good move.

Happy hunting!
Thanks Guys!! I knew there had to be more than met the eyes. I am really interested in high quality sound and will definitly look into your suggestions of the Denon 5900 and the Linn Classik. I personally would not like to spend more if I can get better for less$$ (I have bee n saving for awhile with my wife's approval!!).

Should I focus on a separate cd player and dvd player (thinking ahead now) or is there any real noticble difference if comparing good quality products.

Pictura, what did you have in mind for the $1500 range?
Wow, we all agree with slappy!
Put the b&o on ebay-people will overbid for it most likely!
What speakers/sub are you using? That will make a big difference. Personally, I got an Anthem AVM2(demo), HK citation 5.1 amp(refurb) and denon 2200(new) for $1800.
Elevick, I am starting from scratch. I am planning to build up a proper system over time. Currently I have the basic Best Buy/mainstream products that are not even that impressive in that league anymore.
