burantek: american irony? please explain!

A while ago, a number of dealers came on board here, not initially declaring they were dealers. Trip, you were one of them - BeoLab another. The latter spent a long time defending BV7 against all and sundry, pretending to be a regular customer. I think the League of Concerned Dealers should think about how they address B&O fans who disagree with

Razlaw, there was never such a thing as a belief in a flat earth. The ancients were quite aware of the shape and form of this little oblong spheroid of ours. No reason to insult people. I like documented facts - and think it should be fairly straightforward for B&O to supply the required documentation, beyond the "Yes, it does." Since

Quite explicitly stated earlier in this thread, Martin. 355f has carried out parallel tests, and extensive comparisons. Why does B&O take such delight in ridiculously short and uninformative answers? What would have been nice, would have been to get the exact specifications of the signal processing, information that every other manufacturer has

The first house was wildly underdimensioned for its supposed pretensions. Ridiculous. House two was clearly the owner's dream, executed without compromises. But in both cases the BL5s were placed wrong. In the BV9 room they are way back and to the sides, I first thought they were also used as rear speakers. B&O insists they can be placed where

Here´s a Christmas contest. Find an official bit of communication from B&O, from the past two-three years, where Jacob Jensen and his contribution to the brand is highlighted ... find stores where the past is highlighted, and where you have working classic products. At some point, B&O ceased to remind potential customers of its heritage

Puncher: Attached is an interesting article outlining B&O US strategy and their target customer - aspiring enthusiats they are not! Have to confess I'm highly skeptical of reports that begin with the following sentence - and even offers a translation of the French, speakers of which will be mightily surprised by the "French". Though

No need to turn it off - and actually not possible. All signals that enter the BL5 are processed similarly, once upscaled to 24/96. But don't get confused by that.Get a surround processor of the type that measures in-room acoustics and adjusts accordingly, you can just send the appropriate signals to your various speakers. Make sure the processor

We're in agreement, Puncher. I should have been more precise. B&O has lost the design-centric group - the design cognoscenti are elsewhere, and yes - it's those with a higher disposable income that gravitate to the brand now. Or did - judging by how things are developing. It's worth recognising that the general condition in world wide
