Beoik: I think B&O is distorting there company with the price level of there beovisions.
In the past anyone who wants to buy a let say an avant , could do that if he put some money apart for some time. Now it's impossible for a big group of potential customers to buy a beovision 4 or 9. Which force them to buy a different brand.
What when in the future they need a new audio system, they don't have to stay with B&O because an important part of there system is not B&O anymore. Why not buy an new dvd player from the same brand as the plasma screen.
So Denmark, please lower the prices, keep them high enough to be exclusive (we can life with that), but otherwise i am afraid in a few years time we all have to buy samsung/lc/sony because B&O doesn't exist anymore.
I agree; Before the flat screen empire I could reason myself into buying an Avant because I knew I was buying the best TV in the world for about double the price of the most expensive Philips (pick any other main stream brand if you like) TV. As a bonus I got perfect integration and great style.
Now I am looking at the tv range and wonder what is the best way to keep using all my beo-gear when I need to swap my master unit (currently an avant); also see my post about trying to re-use as much as possible from the Avant (post is called "Avant as center speaker").
But I am afraid that lowering prices will not occur!
