Bingo:

Wouldn't it be a good idea that Philips takes over B&O?   They have already owned a part in the past so know the company best I think.

Another crap idea Bingo.

I used to work for the Pye Group in the UK. It had been going strong since around 1940 or so. Then in the early 1970's Philips bought the company and within 20 years had virtually closed it all. Gone forever.

Is that what you want?

Also, to address another point. Companies like B&O commonly have 5 year product development time maybe longer. So what connection standard will you implement in your new product to be launched in 2013 and what will the media storage devices be like? What will the screen drivers be like?

Not easy questions to answer and my contention is that joe public does not have a clue. Get it wrong and your product is unsaleable.

yeah , philips are grate at inventing things - laserdisc and cd erc , but USELESS at making things

i had a philips tv and it actually blew up and caught fire - utter garbage 

i'd rather sony or pioneer tbh

Maybe they have to shorter the product development time and make a design more flexible . In the AV-world you have to be flexible nowadays to offer products which are up to date to common high-end marked standards. Not being 3 years too late with HDMI or offer 120 HZ LCD technology almost 2 years after the other A-brands did. If you want to place yourself as a premiumbrand, then make premium products as well. But if you offer a Beovision 8 with just one HDMI, you don't make yourself believable als premiumbrand in my opinion.

that makes a pye in the sky
