US President receives BS3200
US President receives Bang & Olufsen sound system |
March 7, 2008

What
would you give the world's most powerful man if you really wanted to
impress him? Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen was in no
doubt about the right gift when he visited US President George W. Bush
at his Crawford Ranch in Texas. The Prime Minister gave the President a
BeoSound 3200 sound system from bang & Olufsen with two black BeoLab 4000 loudspeakers.
The sound system and loudspeakers were bought for the Prime Minister
by staff from the Danish Embassy in Washington, D.C. at Bang &
Olufsen Tyson's Corner. Here, the Danish customers told salesman Dan
Shank that the BeoSound 3200 system and BeoLab 4000 speakers were
intended for a distinguished recipient, and that Dan would probably
soon hear more about this through the media. When Dan heard the story
on the news later on, he was of course rather proud – thrilled actually
– that the music system he had sold had been presented as a gift to his
President.
In fact, Bush is not the first US President to get a Bang &
Olufsen sound system. Former US President Bill Clinton also received
one from Denmark's Queen Margrethe, and has since gone on record saying
that Bang & Olufsen makes the best sound systems in the world.
So, at the end of the day, some things probably are beyond politics
after all – such as outstanding sound quality and true craftsmanship
from Bang & Olufsen. |

Sorry - deleted. Was meant in jest of course, and aimed at george Dubya - but if there is a slight chance it may cause offence, it's one i don't wish to take. Lee

Lee, Lee, Lee... Some of my favorite comedy is 'Monty Python'...I can take a joke, believe me. Put it back up, or people will take me for a thin skinned leftie. Russ

Re: US President receives BS3200
The inside scoop has it that the Danes set it up, and the Danish PM did a demo and tutorial for W. Would have loved to have seen that; as I always cringe seeing the Danes B&O have in the US on the sales floor; although in fairness to them (and Denmark) these guys are management, not really sales. ;-) Russ

Re: US President receives BS3200
Shame that Mr. President will probably dump it in his back yard and stick with his BOSE system instead.

Re: US President receives BS3200
I guess even Country & Western music sounds better through a B&O system. ;-) Mind you, my system has never been subjected to such fare. De gustibus and all that sort of thing.
