A really LOVELY pair of vintage B&O loudspeakers from the late 1980s.
They are in surprisingly good nick, and play and sound beautifully. I bought them several month back thinking I'd make them the star of a vintage system, but never got around to it.... so better to let these vintage beauties go to a home where they will be cherished.
They come with the specific B&O metal stands..... which I believe makes them a bit of a catch. And for their age, they are in pretty damn good condition, with only minor repairs to some the grey cover. No structural issues as far as I can tell.
I don't have boxes...... so most likely pickup only. BUT..... if you are desperate to get these and can't pick them up, let's talk.
Bizzarely HiFiNews in 2024 did a re-review of this vintage of the so called Red Line series, and has a focus on the 60.2 Still stands the test of time:
"The loudspeakers created a soundstage of impressive width and solidity with very little concentration being required to locate each group of players. Being critical one could say the sound has a 'smoothed over' quality to it, but not necessarily in an obtrusive way or in a manner that spoils the enjoyment of the music.
I was also keen to explore B&O's claims for the 'fast' response of the woofers used in the RL 60.2. To this end 'Physical Presence' by Level 42 [World Machine; Polydor 872 487-2] was played with speed and gusto - with material like this I can see what B&O meant! The heavy percussion does indeed have a real feeling of attack, although some overhang from the floor placement is an inevitable by-product.
What is really impressive is how the sound from what, in practice, is a fairly small pair of loudspeakers holds together at extended volume settings. The sturdy cabinets are clearly coming into play here, or not as the case may be… Again the treble was perhaps a little muted when listening at the edges of the tweeter's field, but its extension improved considerably by moving closer (or standing up…)."
Of course, WITH the stands they should perform even better!
I don't have a lot to decide what is a fair price here..... so I've punted for $500. Let me know if you feel I have erred either way.
