lol. I really like your footer - 'No one ever regretted buying quality'...

Hi Trip, I know what you are saying and it's pure arrogance. I do know what I'm saying - I have some contacts directly into Struer. The sales figures directly supports my argument. Could it be true? You should know, apparently you know nearly everything.

Cheers Symmes. Maybe I'm not structring my argument clearly enough. Believe me, I'm passionate about the brand. It's one of the only ones left for me to believe in.

Are you saying that you feel duped?

My take is this, For years as a Bang owner and former employee, I bought into the notion, the idea, that the reason B&O was more expensive, better crafted and assembled was because real Danish people were behind the product. People who worked for the company with a passion. A passion for creating some of the best audio and visual products on the

I read this with interest. I met with an exec who is leaving the company recently. He cited differences with management and an increasingly unworkable approach to business, which began to wear him down and he mentioned a very subdued atmosphere.
