[quote user="Bentleyman"] The whole reason you and I are fans of B&O is because the history and heritage [/quote] At 35, our age group know very little about brand history and heritage and that barely influences our purchasing decisions. I guarantee you the majority of old school B&O customers do not buy because of the history and

[quote user="Bentleyman"] ........so why do you keep adding your opinions to it, thereby fueling the debate/discussion/argument then..? [/quote] I'm not sure I can take you seriously using the moniker "Bentleyman" from Rochdale. I'm not saying that my word is final, I'm saying the entire discussion is going around in

[quote user="Tod Daniel"] Actually Moxxey, I think the BS8 is terrible! Its sound quality does not involve or invite. I think it's horrible and im convinced in years to come, this forum will say avoid stuff like this. Its no more than a £300 product with a B&O badge, out sourced in China to appeal to B&O's existing rich

[quote user="bayerische"] [quote user="Puncher"] My conclusion would be that consumer electronics prices and house prices are not related. [/quote] Amen! [/quote] Can't this thread grind to a halt? It's a discussion going no-where. We have people saying the Chinese can't produce quality, but who the hell cares? The proof

[quote user="Peter"] You can control the Beolit 12 with a B&O remote. [/quote] Good news, thanks for confirming. I like the Beolit 12. I'll wait for the new colours to hit dealers in March, before purchasing. Peter, and a phone! Always find it useful to quickly mute from my Beocom 5 when a call comes in.

[quote user="rmclachlan"] Is Airplay two-way on the BeoLit 12 i.e. using a Beo4 remote you can turn the volume up or down but can you pause or skip to the next track? [/quote] I don't think the Beo4 works with the Beolit 12, does it? I think everything is controlled from your iPhone or the limited touch controls on top of the device? Mind

[quote user="Puncher"] [quote user="Dkatz"]I am not comparing Chinese to Nazi's but am just saying that we all have a choice, we can buy products of inferior quality made by cheap labour if we want or we can choose not to.[/quote] I'm afraid your your lengthy replies are somewhat devalued by your refusal to accept than China

[quote user="Dkatz"] Great Article which displays exactly the reasons why a luxury brand should not mass produce and sell lower end products to the masses. It's also about exclusivity, rarity, etc... [/quote] That's a completely different market. We're not in the rare watch market or special edition car market here. If B&O

[quote user="raveny"] The question is which products are still made in Denmark? My BL 3, 5, 9, 10, BC5, BV4 are made in Czech. Just my BS9000 is from Denmark... [/quote] Yep, and my new BV10 had a Czech label reference on the box and so did parts for my BC6-23. I do like the way the whole discussion here is about China, when most of B&O

[quote user="Tod Daniel"] Actually Moxxey, being a total male model fashion victim, I can confirm that Dolce & Gabbana do not make clothes in China. ALL of their clothes (except underwear) is made at the factory that they own in Italy. [/quote] I'm talking generally - Armani knitwear certainly is and a lot of "retail" versions
