Regarding China's inabilities to make decent quality products , they don't seem to be harming Apple's reputaion. They continually sweep the board at the annual PC magazine awards , have been for the last so many years - and one thing people always mention is the superb build quality.. All B&O need to do is get a brilliant quality control

For this kind of money you should expect and receive perfection. If the picture has serious problems where on earth is the suposed B&O superiority that we are all told about so much and happily pay for like lemmings ? I was seriously considering a 10 , now I'm starting to rapidly go off the idea.

I love how these threads degenerate into I've got more money than you crap. BORING. I also seem to recall that Bentley's are now all just tarted up VW's. I gess some people have more money than sense. I also recall how b&o have been farming out production for years - didn't those awful plasticky beocentres of the 80's and 90's

They've been outsourcing for years - big deal It's what comes out at the end , not how they made it it - that matters !

As has been mentioned the prizes are amazing but a bit ott imo. Why not just give out some boks , mugs , beer mats etc ? As long as it's got B&O written on it i'd take anything ! ( within reason ) :D

I seem to recall the 9 had one serious problem , the built in recorder could only record one channel at a time . Ie; you could only record what you were watching. Did they ever sort that out ?

I like your positive attitude Paul

Can I have a refund ? .. LOL , only joking. Tbh , a nice white mug with beoworld stamped on it would do me as a prize for being a gold member , why bother with a draw as Moxxey quite rightly said ? I'm sure it would cut out a lot of hassle.

Doesn't loook much to me tbh. Reminds me of a Roberts Radio .. eeeurgh http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=839 41 years old and still looks futuristic... David Lewis has gone , maybe it's time to bring JJ back to the fold ?

Very Sad News. I don't think he ever got the recognition he deserved for some of his work, seemingly overshadowed by JJ , unfairly in many ways. So who on earth will take up the baton now ??
