    BAH!

    The perfect scenario is to have one on display, but be out of stock so they come to visit me!

    Actually it doesn't. My apple store knows nothing about arrival of beosound 8. And quit selling ear sets long ago. What's the real story?

    and for 999 USDs which is 700 euros, the price is really excellent although I wouldn't get such a product due to lack of link ability!

    Best regards

    So it's how much in Euro? Don't think I can do a right of currency conversion.

    It is about €752 but that USD price in the Apple Store does not include taxes.

    Why no no side view? Prudish Americans... Good place to sell this.

    see the thread where Steve of STBbrackets explains how with a Beolink active and his cables you can turn the BS8 into a link room speaker and local player 

    First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*

    Are you absolutely sure that the U.S. price doesn't include taxes?

    No indication when adding it to the cart that there are additional taxes to be paid...

    Trying to figure out if there is price parity compared to the U.K. @ £895.

    In the US, Apple adds sales tax based on on of 50 state tax rates. I didn't know US apple store sells to overseas addresses. But if it is that much less cost in US, why not just buy it and find out. The price of beosound 8 sure isn't going to drop. Only Chinese tvs do that, or at least until there are labor and environmental laws there. Can't exploit people forever.

    Then it follows that the us apple store price doesn't necessarilly suggest uk pricing, as alluded to in an earlier post.

    You would have to add appr. 30% - 33% for customs/VAT .... for Germany at least.

    I do think the UK price should be lower,esp if it is effectively available cheaper in other countries!

    Most initial orders will be from the converted.Success of the product will be down to drawing in potential new B&O customers over the longer term.

    Hope they do well with this though.A more compact version,Airplay compatible, at the right price would sell like the proverbial.

    If any Beoworld dealers want to sell at £640...I'll take two.Happy to pay in dollars.

    Payment in dollars was an attempt at humor [why do you guys miss out letters here and there?] 

    Shipping is prohibitive from the states,but if any UK dealers want a reduced margin quick sale...

    I was in the main Ohio Apple store yesterday and the BeoSound 8 was nowhere to be found.

    I was in there buying a new iPod touch and wanted to get a set of A8s, they don't even carry those! Nor any Form 2s!

    Are any of the Washington D.C. dealers here on BeoWorld?
