Good news: The printed catalogue will be back this November, and a new version will be released every 6 months. The catalogue is said to be classy with even less focus on tech data (that can be found online).

So just a series of expensive and luxurious house interiors then?
But I still love to browse/read the catalogues

Thanks Roger for good news.
Somehow I knew the catalogue will come back - a lot of people miss it (me too...).

Spot on, Millemissen - they are scheduled for launch in October (all 3 of them as far as I know) and will be included in the new catalogue.

If you've got something worth shouting about, shout it. If not produce yet another facile mag full of lifestyle shots.Can you imagine Audi etc making a brochure without including its technical merits etcPeople I work with write B&O off as fairly good technology wrapped up in exotic cosmetics, and then sold to mugs. And in some cases they are right. If a TV costs 3 times the competition, tell them why.

In my opinion, that's not such a bad thing? It was the product placement ideas that got me in to B&O in the first place. And most of the photos don't involve luxurious houses. The BV8 placement photos were very encouraging.
Whatever B&O chooses to do, it can't please everyone. We've had no catalogue for over two years. There have been rumours that it wouldn't get updated. We should be happy we're getting any updated catalogue at all.
It might come as a surprise to some people, but there are people who buy b&o for their design first and the fact that it has a good sound comes second.
I like the interior/lifestyle shots and am probably more interested in the design aspect. It's the first thing that draws me in, second I usually hear the product in the store upon inspection. Am actually really not interested in numbers and data, as long as it sounds good.
Have 4x Beolab 5s at home. I'm sure there are better speakers on the market from other brands, but it's just not about that, to me.
Of course, they could always include that info for those that want it, and keep their magazine as it is. I do enjoy articles on how they make their products, test them etc.
I think it could also be that the more technically minded people are also more likely to peruse this forum ?
