Will B&O work stronger against far east copycats ?

Please ask him, if he knows what a Wedthred© is?????   😎 😎 😎 😎

Are there any plans to make any of the products 'upgradable' by the customer without the need of going via a dealer or service centre?

By this I mean having the option (say) of being able to upgrade a PUC control device on a TV via the B&O website and uploading it to the TV without the need of a service call. At the moment if I wanted to get a new Samsung BluRay player and operate it via the Beo4 I would have to get service to come on a 4-5 hour round trip for a 2 minute job.

The same could be said about Beo5/6 and I'm sure a number of other products.

I'm not talking about major software updates or repairs etc - just basic/small changes that need might to be made.

Like Paul said. With the success of an up to date and affordable product in the Beosound 8, please learn from this and make an affordable, but desirable Bang and Olufsen television again.

Dear Mr. Mantoni,

As a company, B&O seems to be fairly slow in adapting ever changing technological trends. Where, as it looks like, the majority of producers and consumers, both high and low end, are embracing 3D and Apple integration, B&O is failing to catch on. 

It is like Fiat's top model car being equipped with Tiptronic and Ferrari still only being available with a manual gearbox.

As such, B&O as a product, appears to be overpaid. Nice in design but too expensive for the technology it offers.

Being the new captain on the ship, are you planning to maintain the course or change direction?

As a B&O fan and owner, I hope the latter.

Regards,

Richard

Thanks Lee.

They seem to be very much focused on TVs.

Besides speakers, which obviously go along with the TVs as well is he going to pay more attention to Audio Products, will we see a broad range of digital audio products similar to BS5/Encore.

How much wage does he get?😁

Humm... not sure it is a smart move to go in such a closed ecosystem as Apple's one! bs8 sell high because it was cheap and a lot of people have an ipod/iphone/ipad...

the future of B&O is not the average user. it is the field of Sony/Samsung... If B&O want to attract customer, it should stay at the upper level by using state of the art technology. A good move would be, for example, to include hard drive recorder in TV, DNLA client like in the new Beosound 5 Encore...

Well, it is my opinion of course, but at least when I spend 15k€ in an equipement, I want the best and the smartest one. not an apple dock ;)

Good point. Personally I'm not interested in TV's and home cinema. Would love to hear B&O's plans for audio equipment.
