For the updates. For one, never change a running system. So from that prospective it makes sense not to auto update. Wih the limited resourcs and beta test B&O can do, it makes to me much sense not to auto push updates. Beomedia and Beomaster should change the game a bit, since its a closed box. That said, I am very much nervous about the speed

There was obviously a website update done. I dont have time to look but sofar I like it. They may have forgotten about the online store. You can still order from Amazon.com .... just search for besound ... its all there .....

They should never frown upon 2nd life buyers. They should be treating this as an opportunity to present the brand in a very nice light, and sofar every dealer I visited was very nice. The discussion around modernism I find very interesting, I always felt that B&O does not fit into more classy home. http://www.bang-olufsen.com/page.asp?id=343 For

Ich kann das schon nachvollziehen. Ich war lange Zeit sehr unhappy weil ich keinen kleinen Fernseher in den USA bekommen konnte. Ich bin damals kurz auf Onkyo fuer Musik umgestiegen und hatte ein Hometheater mit JVC und anderen Komponenten. Hat mich nicht sonderlich gluecklich gemacht. Ich wuerd halt fuer Musike dein B&O behalten und nur fuer Hometheater

I would not say it crashed and burned. It is a little less volume on Ebay since about a year, however prices for BL6000 or BC2 if one shows up haven't changed much in the last 2 or 3 years I would say. Of coure there is product that is very hard to sell, i.e. BV5 due to shipping complexity or BS2. Not sure why it does not take off here, the brand

Well both the BV 4 37 and the BV7 are quite behind and would not compare to BV8. I personally do not believe in these sort of workarounds, where you complement B&O with non B&O components. Do you must have surround? What is the price that you would pay for BV8 versus BV4? I think with BV7 32 to be refreshed in the coming year, a BV7 no DVD version

You can't take the screen off. That was confirmed earlier by people who saw it in flesh. I was hoping for that especially since that was part of the design concept that was discussed in a magazine article some time back. A 2 way remote is supposed to come down the line, that was posted here.

Other people here have posted that it would be 30000 DKK which is around 4000 Euro, 5000 was rumored. They must have had significant budget over run giving all the delays, so maybe they had to bump it up. I personally think they need to be careful pricing this right, especially since it comes initially without a 2 way remote (and there may never be

Well maybe they figure as most people lost 30% of their stock portfolios over the last weeks 6000 is not that much. I am not sure if that us true or not, around 5000 was posted before . What surprises me that google has now 30K "Beosound 5" hits after the engadget article. Did we see an increase in traffic here? Once one of these Blogs has

I would think so too. It doesnt look like a personal space, more like an advertising brochure ..... the other space that I posted, is NY place is kind of cool. >> According to the I.D. article, Desiridata Design was hired to do over the place into Mister West's fantasy vision of "a cross between a museum and a Louis Vuitton boutique.<<
