    Looks like someone is stucked in the 80´s

    Reply Contact

    My brother-in-law visited Swedens largest hif-seller to buy speakers. The young salesman tried to sell him some from Dantax, and claimed it was runned by B&O as a way to sell large quantities at lower costs. Which of course is just rubbish and why I never enter this kinds of stores.

    Anyway, I browsed the website of Dantax and found the speakers JJDesign. Wonder if JJ has designed something similar before? Hmm

    I love the design he made in the past for B&O, but I also think it was good our friend Lewis took over as head of design. And maybe it´s now time for a new design master to enter the halls of Struer.

    Just my two Swedish ören.

    There is a small grain of truth in there, in that B&O's former designer may see it as a way to sell greater quantities. But the salesman was exaggerating wildly.

     I do love the John Jensen B&O designs though. They are still my favourites.

    oops...

    i think i like them.

    the colors are a bit difficult to discern, but they look rather complimentary to a set of bl3000-5000.

    hmmm...

    Jacob Jensen didn't design the Pentas. It was lone and Gideon Lindinger-Loewy.

    They should do their research a bit better before ripping off some classic designs!

    I think the JJ Design speakers do not look bad. But most of the other speakers in their range are real ugly boxes!

    my oops exactly as well.

    I'm stuck in the 80's as well [I really love the design and quality]

    But I really don't like these JJ's (perhaps because I own a pair of the original {penta's}....:-)
