    That is not my style, silver colour is much better and a must for B&O products.

    I highly doubt they were only smoking this. It must be really tough stuff...

    So.. the Design Departement moved to Holland! Now that explains it all!

    China, the Gulf and parts of former Eastern block consider this "gold" and will buy it with abandon. Some will ask for all gold versions.

    Re: Bang & Olufsen goes GOLD

    I know people on here keep saying that 'new stuff is around the corner'. All I've seen over the last 6 or so months are new colours for existing products - those colours being white and now gold.

    That BV9 looks terrible. Unless you live in Dolce & Gabbana's house (mostly gold), that's really not going to work.

    I would not buy a B&O product in gold, but I think it is a good point that people can choose what they like best. The more colors B&O offers, the better it is for the company.

    Re: Bang & Olufsen goes GOLD

    WOW i love it! It wouldn't loook right in my house though :(

     

    I can't wait to see it in person, i think it's great to have yet another colour option. Very nice, very baroque

    Re: Bang & Olufsen goes GOLD

    Curious!
    On the link given, Kalle has changed his name!

    Quote

    “We are equally pleased with the new colour. The golden coloured products will most definitely add an additional element of style and sophistication to even the most luxurious surroundings” said Bang & Olufsen President and CEO Karl Kristian Hvidt Nielsen."

    End of quote

    Could this be because people are struggling to pronounce Kalle?

    Re: Bang & Olufsen goes GOLD

    Kalle is usually just a Nickname, although you can be named "Kalle". Sort of like Bill/William

    Nice for when it's Christmas:

    Silver B&O on the attic ---> christmas tree + gold B&O into the living room.

     

    Don't know if I like it yet... it's not ugly anyways. But hey, it's B&O! Have they ever made something really ugly? :)

    Re: Bang & Olufsen goes GOLD

    The BV7 looks really good in gold IMHO, I don't see why everybody here says Wow for the blue BV7, and that gold is not ok. Everything depends on where you want to put it. And there are really beautiful contemporary interior design with gold elements, which do not look baroque or bling bling... The BV7 has only a really small part in gold, which combined to the black and dark glass makes it look really good and not OTT.
    I cannot tell the same for BV9 or BL8000, but be open minded, and think of a dark inerior design with small gold touches, it looks really cool!

    Adding a little bit of gold to the Beo5 looks also interesting IMHO...
