Yeah - I think it is true. I first bought a beocenter 2002 when I was a student collecting funk records. Ever since I took it to a B&O dealer for a service (10 years ago) I've been into B&O in a big way & now have a house full of the stuff!
I have a Serenata too and love it! It gets a bit of stick, but it is totally unique. All the iphone users I see on the train everyday are constantly checking it out!
I'm new to this forum too - and becoming addicted, slowly but surely!
Enjoy your Serenata, Madmover1, and everything else B&O you've gotto come!
Cheers,
Thomas
