As in the title, when an invitation from B&O UK arrived to go and see the factory, meet the key people and have a tour of the newly opened museum, I didn't even have to stop and think.
And it was just as fabulous as I suspected it would be. The factory is spotless - you could eat your dinner off the floor of the aluminium processing building, and what they do to the equipment in the torture chamber was quite eye-opening. As for the Cube - I wasn't expecting it to be directly beyond the door and had a flush of vertigo as I walked through onto the balcony...
The whole place is endowed with a fantastic atmosphere and everyone I met had copious enthusiasm and passion for what they do. Needless to say, the museum was amazing and a personal tour around all the exhibits by Ronny was the icing on the cake. He had a story for each item, then at the end asked me if i wanted to go round again, as he could tell a different story about each one! I gathered that around 300 of the 3000 or so exhibits he has gathered are on display and they will be rotated every six to nine months - no problem, I'll just have to go back again!
Finally, an apologies, mods, for the blatant plug, but I will be writing a report on the trip in an upcoming issue of Hi-Fi World magazine - I'll report back when i know which issue it'll be in.
Adam.
