I agree with StUrrock and really feel for dealers, some of whom are fantastic in terms of their customer relations and their offers, both of which I have experienced several times first hand. B&O just aren't making products that are eye catching, relevant or interesting anymore; not in the same historic way in my opinion.
£3,500 for a BV7-55 Mk 2 is such a good price for that television and I even find myself tempted but having had a BV7-40 it wouldn't feel like a change, so not for me. If it's not selling at this price there's a very clear message here and as sad as it is to say, but this is why Lee was forced out of business too. I feel it won't be long before we see more dealers closing.
The magic has truly gone. I honestly believe this and I am not just throwing out a critical or harsh comment for the sake of it. I want to be positive, really, but I am struggling.
I find the cheaper more mainstream TVs actually far more compelling and interesting than B&Os offerings. I am even questioning whether I 'can be bothered' to buy a Loewe or a 2014 Avant now. The competition has caught up and I am not sure what B&O can offer now on top of the already brilliantly designed and capable products. As we are currently discussing in the Eclipse thread, it seems obvious to many (though not all) that a lot more than just a soundbar addition is needed. I can't be bothered because it seems like B&O can't be bothered, there is a knock on effect. Such a shame.
