Personally, i can't see BS9000 being around for much longer, and the 1500 white ones could be a great way of getting rid of a few mechanisms and cases that may have hung around otherwise.. Not many people are spending nearly three grand on a CD Player these days, so it's an excellent bit of marketing from B&O.
BeoSound 5 from noises i have heard coming from the factory and other sources is superb. We will be heading towards a new era of products with the 'wow' factor we all want, and the new CEO is totally focused on regaining the kudos from pure quality and leading edge technology B&O have previously enjoyed. Gone will be the dross we have all been collectively embarrassed about.. consigned to the skip - all of it. <cheers>
I've not spoken to anyone from the dealer conference yet, but i'm sure i'll have a few emails in my inbox with some news over the next couple of days - and let's see what the sheep come up with too, they are far better informed than me!
