It isn't just about picture quality and sound, it's everything. The customer service, the aesthetics, the reliability, the individuality, the ease of use, the near-silent mechanical workings, the sheer physical feel of the products... B&o gear just has so much going for it, and when you get to the point where all of the above is what you

[quote user="TripEnglish"] Though the Beo6 will probably make all this talk obsolete. [/quote] Only time will tell Dario your thinking is really clever! A good idea, even though we all know it won't happen i still love it

[quote user="mobeyone"] is there another remote out there which was so easy to pick up and use? [/quote] Yes, the beo4. We're in 2010 now and that remote was brought to us in 1994, beo4 is KING.
