Nickyg63 – B&O sold many products for less than many thousands as you say. Look at the BS1, BS3, BSCentury, they were all sold in the 500-1100 GBP range, were all portable and were similar in concept to the BS8 and BS12. B&O priced these products this way because they thought they knew they could make a profit on each one that was substantial

Tournedos – My point is that the reason B&O don't outsource their higher end goods is because they consider them to be luxury high quality products. Otherwise they would outsource those and start mass manufacturing them as well! Most of the high end A/V companies are low production, but so is B&O in comparison to ones that do outsource
