So I'm rereading the thread (actually I'm rereading the emails I get from the thread while on the train since I forgot my headphones) and I now have to wonder...
What were we talking about with "SAVE" B&O? I pretty much just figured the question meant they were running out of money and if they didn't do something then they'd be out of business. Reading half the posts (the half that aren't unintelligible doggy poo) over, did the "save" part mean "how do we get B&O to make products we like once more?"
Because, frankly, the stuff in my price range (see next post, yes I'm already planning in advance to double post) is really good for people like me. The stuff that's higher up either makes me really want it, like a pair of 9's, or doesn't interest me in the slightest though other people love them, like the TVs. Of course there's the stuff higher up that looks lame like the BS5 but if other people like it then good for them. The stuff below my price range is also nice but I have no need for them, like the BS1. There are things I find asinine like BS4 being sold as computer speakers for $1k but if other people like it then great.
My list applied to if the question was "how does B&O make money and not go out of business"? And my list would work 100%. But if it was the other thing about if they're making the right products or not then let me answer that one:
What are you complaining about? They have TVs in every normal size from 26" to 103", in plasma or LCD if you have a preference with various looks and features. They have little sound systems that favor the "modern middle class" like the BS4 and they have the old favorites like the 9000 and the 3200. They have state of the art and they have devices that let you send music from your computer to any room in the house. They have little budget speakers like the BL4 and they have outrageous budget speakers like the BL5. And everything in between! Their stuff is made well and if you're boohooing that some of it is made in CZ then quit whining because you didn't know the difference anyway.
As long as they stay in business they can do what they want. I'll either buy it or I won't.
