There are consumers that want to buy - there always will be - but there MUST be something to buy. Take a look at the new BeoTime - and granted I have yet to actually touch one and sure it looks typical B&O cool But, does it have any use? Can you read the time in the dark? (can you read it in the light?) It is something that you will rely on for

They have not fallen behind - they gave up the race... and a very long time ago. Sure there will also be an interest in niche products - which is what B&O is and always will be. The entire planet is moving towards seamless integration, digital music, and a resurgence of high-end analog. Where is B&O in ANY of this???? Even if you ignore the

As I start moving away from B&O as my main system into something else (may towards a product line from a company that "get's it"..... waiting now over 3 months for the replacement foam pads, that I spent a fortune on, for my headphone..... told they need to be shipped from Denmark and that they would look into it..... my interest in

Is there any sense of what the software/firmware update are? When they are coming? Are they going to be free? or in true B&O style - too expensive to justify by normal common sense? -michael

Now that it has been out for a while - what is the general impression? How is it overall for an audio digital media source? Or is something else better? -michael

I also have a few questions about Apple TV connected to my B&O (via Aux) and separately to a non-B&O TV. Does the TV need to be on to use the iPhone/iTouch remote to select and play music? Can I just sych it with my MacBook laptop wirelessly and play music when needed or use the video part when I want to play downloaded content? Is there anyway

yes it is a real shame. there product line is not keeping pace with current technology everything is too freaking expensive for what it is ($15 for cheap form pads?) the non-compatible everything (connectors, remotes, etc) the stuff looks nice - but not that nice........

I think I am cured of my B&O addiction. I am visiting this site less and less. I ordered replacement foam pads for my Form headsets from my dealer two months ago outragously expensive for "foam" - still have not received them sent an email requesting an update about a month ago - no response B&O is too expensive for what it is....

Interesting - and as I learn more, the question then is what to do have 5.1/HDMI output from a DVD/BluRay and the Aux input of a B&O or the way their speakers are configured (i.e. Powerlink)? -michael

but what is a "more pure" representation of the sound. I guess if the rear speakers project sounds that are supposed to come from behind the "viewer" and are recorded as such that is one thing - but how much of 5.1 is creating something that is inherently unnatural? What happens, for example to older movies (recorded in stereo) and
