ok gentlemen i think most of us here on this thread owned b&o item or two or three i owned 3 items for a period spaded over 15 years do not have any now .my last purchase was bv7-32 the heart ruled the head big -big mistake for me i sold my 7-32 was nor impressed with the picture in fact was inferior to warrant the b&o badge never recovered

have a look @ this http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/financials/financials.asp?symbol=BOb.CO

linder: Plagente, Thanks for the latest financial information about B&O. I was trying to find that information. You and Puncher are of course correct in your observations about B&O and their current product line. However I would caution that B&O has been in this situation before and over time their product line and finances improved. Hang

maybe b&o needing a new/fresh blood design team the current ones over stayed their welcome?!

i used to look forward to go and see my local dealer (like a child in a toy store) wanted to buy every thing in his shop and more ,new catalog when released that will be another special visit to go and collect it as soon as possible,loved the products and prices of course was more expensive than every-day make and model but hey was worth the money imho

i have the money but do not see anything exciting apart from B&O speakers which i do not need in the moment,yes sale will have a limited effect but i thing b&o have more serious problems ( lack of wow factor products) IMHO

in fifty years time no problem

propaganda: My personal view is that once the speed of change in the AV world slows as flat screens/HD technologies become more mature, B&O will be able to differentiate themselves again on both design & quality. It has been difficult for them recently as they have to buy in technology which is already out of date by the time they deploy it

try your dealer b&o traditionally pretty good with these thing/warranty good luck

that is absolutely correct not disputing that fact,but buying a Sony or whatever every 3 years still cheaper option and more technological advanced than the outdated B&O set to start with i had B&O avant only lasted 6 years!!!,and went and bought bv7-32 total mess picture-wise& connectivity no hdmi in£6k+ tv!!! (no shame either)!!
