I fear that B&O continues to alienate existing loyal customers, to terminate dealerships that exist for ages and keeps introducing new colors for existing products. I hope the brand name can survive the path taken.

Pantone does the work and BeoColor takes a trip and writes a story to please the executives. I would enjoy argument for your idea....but I think it is over the BeoColor Team's head. Of course they did do the Marrakesh Express.
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
The most recent video from John at B and O Manchester mentions lots of new products coming this year.
I agree with you 100%. It’s a shame to a company as powerful as them to go all the way down to just selling headphones .... so sadI fear that B&O continues to alienate existing loyal customers, to terminate dealerships that exist for ages and keeps introducing new colors for existing products.

I started buying B and O products in the 1990s. At that time B and O sold one TV, the 32 inch Avant. Now there are two, the Eclipse and the Horizon. As for speakers, they sold the 2500, 3500, 4000, 6000, 8000, and 1. Now they sell the Celestial, Palatial, 17, 18, 19, 20, 50, and 90. In other words they have a broader product line for both speakers and tvs now, than in the 1990s.For sound systems there was the 2000/Century, the 3000/3200 and the 9000. Now there is just the Core. But then there is also now available the Beolit 17, A1, P2, P6, Edge, Shape, 35, 1, 2, A9, M5, M3. And now there are also multiple styles of headphones.Looking at the number of products in the various categories, it seems to me that they have many more products, and much more variety of products than in the past, so I do not really understand the belief that all they do is change colors and make headphones.

+1 as well (besides there has been the mx, lx, av 9000 and av 5) but I support the idea that everyone is crying frustrated them doing nothing new. 2 days more and there will be ise. Really excited if anything new is coming.
So, the metric now is how many different products are produced, not whether they are good products, or represent a coordinated and cohesive design and product portfolio (as in the past), or work well together, but just number of products! It's not a throw everything at the wall and see if anything sticks, while abandoning products rather than fixing them, or rather I should say designing them well to begin with. Wow, the old DaK company must have been the best company on earth then.
