[quote user="cooldude"] Absolutely agree !!!! For a Danish made premium product all assembly should be in Denmark!!! No exceptions. However I have no problem with most of the parts being made elsewhere as long as the design, final assembly and quality control is done in Denmark. [/quote] Wait, you say no exceptions then make an exception.

[quote user="cooldude"] Even you will have to admit that the Beo5 is an utter disaster and needs continuous channel programming ? Ridiculous if you buy an 800$ remote that needs 200$ of programming every 6 months to bring it up to date .... [/quote] If Beo5 could control everything in your rack whether it was a B&O product or not, and

[quote user="SwedishBeoFan"] 5. This is like comparing Porsche to a Kia. No in 2 years a 2010 Kia won´t be cool, in 50 years the Porsche still will. [/quote] Straw man. Your argument would be valid if that Porsche had a Kia engine. The BV7 is a Samsung panel. Samsung now has better panels than the one in that TV. [quote]I still think

[quote user="Karel Uyttendaele"] With regard to Apple and B&O... Except (some) design they have nothing in common. [/quote] That wasn't my point. My point was if Apple bought it, they'd cut the fluff, keep the good, use the core technology to make good products, market it so well you'd think they could sell ice to eskimos,

[quote user="alenvprekrsku"] Please B&O stay as a European company. I don`t like to see the label: made in PRC or Apple [/quote] Well, you know... if they are Danish owned and built the boards and plastic in China or Korea or where ever... they'd still be a European company right? You know... Apple is still an American company, right

Wow, this blew up. Let's get started here. [quote user="Giang Nguyen"] This proves that you are not B&O fan and do not know anything about B&O.. All idea is stupid... I am sorry for saying that, but all your idea will kill B&O faster and faster. Because: 1&2: this is "fake" product , althought price is cheaper

What I would do. It's not pretty. 1. Build it in China to spec. Keep them under the thumb to produce the stuff B&O designs up to B&O standard. The Chinese have terrible designs (Huawei routers, Great Wall cars) but given instruction they produce great product (Apple, the shoes I'm wearing). In other words, they're modern slave labor

Okay, the BC2 stand is $610 AUD and the 3200 stand is $435 AUD. Seems kind of high but I've got no other options other than the ST2500 which probably doesn't make much sense for me since I no longer own a single CD. Has anyone ever tried that with the STB bracket and the 3200 or BC2 stand? Will the ML cable connector fit through the opening

Ah okay, I'll go check out what the local pusher has in their shop here. I suspect a BC2 stand won't be cheap though...

Not sure if that will make it more aesthetically pleasing, but its a thought ... [/quote] My long haul cable is white
