The problem is, China IS the new Denmark! And the new England, and the new Europe, and the new rest of the world! Money=corruption. Lets not hide behind the facts. Cheap labour to maximise profits at the expense of polluting and not giving a damn about the people of China. Its exploitation whichever way you look at it. It makes me laugh how Europe and

Absolutly Chris, I agree with what you say. Very suprised about B&O not thinking things through properly with this stand. Its so strange given their history of designs that seemed to miss nothing at all. Yes I did buy a BS9000 at the same time I bought my 7-40. I also bought it new. It wasn't a problem for me at all because that was the product

Jandyt: I have read all posts from our member in Melbourne, Brent.(Dude1) Since joining Beoworld your input has been great. You appear to be knowledgable about B&O and your posts have been helpful, positive and interesting but..... Why, oh why do you refer to Bang and Olufsen as Bang, and Beovisions as Bangvisions? You even mentioned a Bangcord

Closer to £5,000 is what most people seem to be suggesting but we'll have to wait and see. That will be quite a step up from previous music centres, which might put some people off, we'll see. I imagine the BS5 to look very similar to the BC2 and BS3. Some sort of hybrid between the two. I am really quite intrigued to see what it will

"If I bought a BS9000 now, I'd feel I'd bought something that I wanted as a kid, and had to wait until I was 30 to be able to afford it." Thanks for this Chris it brought a big smile to my face! I always loved it as a younger guy but I didn't have to wait till I was 30 until I could afford it, I had to wait until I was 37! And

LOL! I knew I was going to get some stick with that post!! No, don't get me wrong, it is a decent product the BS4 so I am not really sure what I am rambling on about. I guess when I first saw it I just didn't think it had the B&O 'WOW!' factor that's all. I guess with the other products like BS3000 and BS9000 they are so timeless

I am not the biggest fan of the BS4 but that's not to say I still don't like it, I do, to a point. But I certainly wouldn't pair it up with BL9s! I'd put it with BL8s, BL6s or BL4s and second-hand ones at that. If I am going to invest £5,000 on a pair of speakers then I am going to invest in a player to match it so my first choice

I wouldn't bother writing Paddy. If they have made that decision then they will be unlikely to change it and what could they honestly say to you anyway? I think it is a shame though as the second-hand market is a big one, this is why dedicated shops have sprouted up everywhere and have done quite well. Of course buying through a dealer does always

I was after one of these remotes recently but Peter put me off getting one with some valid reasons which made me reconsider. At the time, I put an ad in the Wanted section of this site and someone replied saying they had quite a few to sell on. They buy and restore them. I can't remember the name of the user, it might have been Ridax but I am not

My response to B&O would be simply, "Surprise me! You always used to." Simon.
