How do Bang and Olufsen stereo sound?

I recently almost got a pair of Beolab 5. One speaker was not self-calibrating correctly, so I withdrew, but not before listening to them.
I liked the sound very much. For me the strengths more than outweighted weaknesses, and I liked the design.
At the other end of the range, I had a Beosound A2 (untill my daughter took it from me to use in her tiny student’s flat in Paris). Its noway near Beolab 5, but for its size it could be among the best portable speakers I have heard.
Not all B&O are equal, but they can sound very good.

Agree with the sentiments of @frogman. I owned a B&O turntable years ago and replaced it with a Well Tempered turntable which was a significant step upward. However the B&O was certainly a decent/solid product.

I have a Beogram linear-track TT in my collection. With its B&O MI cartridge it is an excellent performer - and neat to watch in action!

Thank you so much for all those who took the time to post for me - you guys are great!
