A high-end component stereo system designed by Jacob Jensen, produced from 1989 to 1991.
Overview
The Bang Olufsen Beosystem 6500 is a complete hi-fi stereo set built between 1989 and 1991. Jacob Jensen designed it. The set includes the Beomaster 6500 receiver, the Beocord 6500 cassette deck, the Beogram 6500 turntable and the Beocd 6500 CD player. It is often paired with Beolink 1000 and Beo4 remote controls. All the core components were combined into one integrated, minimalist system. It is noted for reliable operation decades after production. Owners report that most functions work well, including the tape transport, the turntable controls and the input/output switching.
Market
The Beosystem 6500 has been listed for sale at £695 in recent owner transactions. Professional auction estimates run between €2,200 and €2,600, depending on condition and completeness. Units in very good or excellent physical condition, with new belts on the tape deck and turntable, are considered desirable. Some reports say the buttons may need a second press, which is common for aging electronics, but the core functions typically all work. Accessories such as wall shelf mount kits, MMC4, MC Panel and remote controls are sometimes included.
