“When B&O began experimenting with the BEOLAB 5000 High Fidelity Series almost three years ago (1964) we could not predict the price of a complete system of this type.
We just told our laboratory staff to provide the Perfect High Fidelity System – and that is no easy task, for such a system must provide distinct, perfectly life-like reproduction of the entire tonal range without the slightest distortion, without detracting anything from the incoming signal and without adding anything to it whatsoever.
Our laboratory staffs were happy to accept the challenge, and today you can see and hear the result: the BEOLAB 5000 series the first Danish-built system with specifications exceeding international high-fidelity standards in every respect.
So far, the series comprises a stereo amplifier of entirely new design, a separate FM stereo tuner, two specially designed pressure-chamber speakers, and a high-frequency sound diffuser. Obviously, the record player used with the BEOLAB 5000 series must meet the same high standards. The same applies to the tape recorder.
The exact price of a BEOLAB 5000 system obviously depends on the number of individual instruments you wish to purchase for it. But it will be considerably higher than the prices of most conventional hi-fi systems. In return for the higher price you get the purest reproduction of music you have ever heard and one of the most thrilling high-fidelity systems ever designed.”
