I've had a beogram for a few months now and love it! My model is almost the same as yours but I dont see what the issue is. The separate chassis for platter bounces a bit when you put a record on but this isnt an issue, and Ive never had problems picking up the records. the thing is gorgeous as a focal point in a living room. Its hard to stop staring at it! It came with an upgraded MMC3 and the sound is so detailed and smooth.
Well some of the biograms have where there's little rubber risers on the platter that effectively act as a platter mat and they're not very tall, usually about 5 mm or a quarter inch but they're just tall enough to wear when you Go to take a record off you can get your fingers up under it. This particular model does not have that, the little black lines on the platter are essentially painted on and you're basically putting the record directly on the metal. That's not necessarily A problem because according to b&o enthusiast that know far more about this turntable than I do, it was designed that way and if I could quote one guy, I've been using the thing for 20 years and never had a record get scratched. But at the end of the day it is an inconvenience, and I demonstrate the inconvenience in the video. It is a great record player and if I'm completely honest probably one of the best sounding turntables I've ever heard, at least in the top five turntables for me.
If I had to pick a Yamaha receiver , although it's not a receiver it's an integrated amplifier , I would say get Yamaha AS501. It's a solid amplifier sounds great and build quality is some of the best for the money.
Bang&Olufson was not a budget brand. their stereo products , in the 90s they could probably cost quite a lot. But where different you could say they had, for example, a wall stereo. so you had it on the wall
Well sorry for making that insinuation, however my point was that these turntables can regularly be picked up for under $150, or at least you could when I made the video. Now they generally didn't come with the cartridge and that was where it was expensive, replacement cartridges are outrageous. Yes I understand bang and Olufsen back in the '70s and '80s and '90s as well and of course even today, produce high-end luxury audio components, because they are high-end luxury Audio components the price is commiserate with that. Again however that wasn't my point. My point was that a lot of their vintage gear you can pick up nowadays relatively cheap, far cheaper than it was when it was new, and the same can't be said for other brands.

I just got this exact model from my family as an heirloom. Can you recommend a Yamaha receiver with a built in preamp that would pair well with it?

I have this with the Yamaha as801. I love the sound, BTW the 5 is the best stylus, and the 1 is the lowest quality.
