Five minutes to go... :)

The only problem is the Danish language, and here you can see why:

 

Falling apart

That's brilliant! Very funny.

Come on, tell us what you know! (or what you're allowed to say!)

Maybe we should open up a new thread...

Beo5

I have now done...

Must make the next trip, if there is one. Glad all those that went had such a good time.

Just arrived at home from Struer. Have to say that all who wasn't there have missed very much. We had the Beo5 in our hands and saw the aluminium bowl in production. To tell you everything we saw, heard and discussed the space woudn't be enough.

I think Ed and some others will post pictures. They will tell you more than thousands words.

Thanks everyone for the superior trip to Struer THis is really a "must" for every B&O fan.

Also arrived home after 7 hours on the road.

 It was a great event with very special treatment from B&O! Thank you all the make that happen. We saw so many intersting things that at least for me it will take some days to get this all sorted out.

 
In return, I will visit my dealer and order a pair Beolab 5 (or 9)

cheers

Hi

Christian and I are home as well now, the drive was not that bad (by the way Karsten, you overtook us (silverblue Peugeot 206) somewhere on Fyn).

Eduard got a copy of most of my pictures, I hope those of you that were not with us can enjoy some of the brilliant experience we had.

Again, thanks to you all for making it happen and supporting the initiative.

Best regards

Christian

After a stop at Kastrup and leaving off Guy & co and a stop at Sturup and leaving off Fridsten I was home about 18.30.

Wonderful trip! Thank you Ed, Anders and Lee for this! And of course a big thanks to our hosts, especially Gitte!

It´s been fantastic to seen the cube, the torture chamber, the listening and viewing rooms and all other legendary rooms and the people that make them legendary. 

Next trip must go to the Struer Museum that will open later this year.

This has indeed been a fantastic tour, a true red carpet treatment. Very nice bag of surprices (brochures, bottle opener, a book, etc.).

I will go to bed now, after 20 hours of BeoTour (if you include the dinner), and I am sure that I will have sweet dreams.

PS. I was the first to use the Beo5 with the Beocenter 8500

Well, i'm home, and i can honestly say i have had an absolutely fantastic time!

Bang & Olufsen were absolutely perfect hosts, and i can only express my sincere thanks on behalf of BeoWorld for all the time they spent planning and executing this extremely special tour. It was truly appreciated by each and every one of us.

I will obviously collate all of the photos taken and give a full account of the tour when this is done, but in the meantime i am sure the people there will tell their own stories!  It was great to put names to faces, and see in person the people i talk to almost every day on the forum, and to catch up with some of the people i already know.

We really do have a great bunch of people on BeoWorld, and meeting them in person too really confirms this.  

Can i also express my sincere thanks to BeoWorld member "classic" aka Frede who welcomed Ed, Andy and myself into his home not far from Struer on Sunday to show us his quite remarkable collection of vintage B&O.  I will not say much about what he does at the moment, as he wishes to avoid an avalanche of customers! - but i can honestly say that he is a true perfectionist when it comes to B&O. More to follow...
 

Helo everybody,

Finally Emmanuel and me got there in Paris at 10:30 PM.

The Beoland Tour was fantastic and somehow magic.

For the moment I do not realize that it is finished as I am still thinking (an missing) about what happened during these last 48 hours.

I am going to bed now and will start dreaming about the Farm and all those great moments spent with great people. 

Seeya all,

Guy 

What a trip!

It was a wonderful experience to see for ourselves the care and attention to detail B&O put into their products and see first hand how the design philosophie is put into practice from concept to sale.

I'd also like to thank B&O and all who were involved in organising  the trip for their  hospitatlity (could not have been better) and also the Beoworlders who managed to make it. A great bunch of people and excellent company.

Time to catch up and see what been happening here!

Kevin 

Great thanks to Bang & Olufsen for these fantastic days! Seeing all the catalouge-places in real life was nice, but I think that speaking to the people and listening to what they had to tell us was worth even more!

Also thank you to BeoWorld for organizing this tour and to all you BeoWorlders being there!

Best regards

Steinar

What an amazing trip!

Aluminium factory, torture chamber, viewing and listening rooms. Just excellent! All the presentations and discussions were great. Being listened to by the International Marketing Director, Kasper Eis, and even talking briefly to the CEO, Torben Ballegaard Sørensen...

Everything was amazing, but I especially enjoyed listening to the  Tonmeister, Geoffrey Martin.

Still... It felt a bit odd being studied by an anthropologist... Apparently we were the most extreme part of a subculture.

Finally, a huuuuuuge thankyou to those who made this possible, Ed, Anders and Lee.

It was great meeting you all, and I really hope we can turn this into an annual event.

I'll post my pictures on the web within the next few days.
 

Yeah it was a unbelivible meating in Struer. Nice to meet you all guys

And B&O showed the very best side they could ever do. THANX

They take us here on Beoworld 100% seriously

Can´t wait for next time we meet agian ( Lee )

The WOW effect is still alive in Struer!

To visit B&O factory was an old dream, and all we can say is that reality was far better!

Thank to Gitte, for her warm and friendly presence ,

Thanks to the engineers who spent time with us and gave us sharp technical explanations on the "why" and the "how" our favorite toys come to life --> ,

Thanks to Ed, Mr Andersson and Lee, which made this dream come true ,

And thanks to all Beoworlders for the friendly vibrations which surrounded the meeting .

It has been a pleasure to meet all of you,

We hope this will happen again.

Yann and Christian.

Edit: Damn you, Daniel! Didn't you log out from here when borrowing my computer?
