Hello from Berlin, I would like to briefly introduce myself, as I am new to the forum. I am 61 years old and have been interested in hi-fi my whole life. I only discovered Bang & Olufsen three years ago, when I started volunteering at the Braun and Design Museum Collection Ettel in Berlin. The owner, Werner Ettel, only collects Braun devices, but he also has a passionate interest in Bang & Olufsen design, which is how he got me interested in B&O. I have now collected quite a few Bang & Olufsen items and am fascinated by the technology and design. The collection grows a little every month, which gives me a lot of pleasure. Best regards, Michael P.S. If this post has been posted in the wrong place in the forum, I would appreciate it if it could be moved to the correct location.

A warm welcome to you Michael ! Great you got the virus too. And by the way, your story brings back to me the 'triangle of top designers'.
  • Braun design s became famous because of (the great) Dieter Rams.
  • Apple's top designer Jonathan Ivy was inspired by the designs of Dieter Rams. There's a famous list of Apple products derived from Dieter Rams' / Braun designs: https://sl1nk.com/fVgIa
  • Jonathan Ivy also was inspired by the B&O designs, especially with aluminum, which is obviously recognisable in most Apple products.
So, going from loving Braun to loving B&O is quite logical. Enjoy it!
