Hi Markie...

Just to echo Peter's earlier response.. you were definitely not being ignored, feel assured of that. I think Peter is quite right that we do often get lost in threads, happens to me often when posting then rereading to remember if my post is/was still relevent to what I originally wanted to post about! You see? I am lost already! Honestly, this is a great forum, one of the best on the net. Very polite and friendly and hugely informative. People only really comment on something they feel passionate about, even if only a little. I think its human nature to scan through threads picking out what is of personal interest to us, often disregarding stuff that isn't. Its never a personal thing if someone doesn't reply.

All the best!
Simon.

Actually, that is one of the great things about this forum - there is so much communication and discussion.  It is easy to see how a post may fall off the radar if not immediately addressed - but re-post and someone will have something to say.  

Sal, wow there's a member from WAY back!  My congrats on the kicking the B&O addiction.  I still have it and I'm really not willing to part ways with any of my stuff, I'm getting older and it's time I settled down, good luck with what ever makes you happy in the future.

linder made an intersting point about the North America market.  B&O survives on literally NO advertising here in the U.S.  I never see anything, no written ads, no TV commercials, nothing. 

"I think rPatton hit the nail on the head. People will buy what fits into their current lifestyle."

Oh Sal that much abused word 'lifestyle'!

Can you explain please how buying, for example, a TV, can fit in to a 'lifestyle'? Why not just say people will buy what they like?

😕

What you like is your lifestyle. You can't say that tastes are diferent but with equal quality. A man that want 100years waranty, 500 terabites hard drive etc should find his happynes somewhere else. B&O are selling art in every term of speaking. Visualy,  sound, touch, passion for it. Tell me some hifi firm that is producing same model of for example speakers for over 10 years like them that are still very sought after and will be a dream forever. Trying to explain money you spent on it is wrong philosophy. 

I thought that b&o is dead after Jensen left but then Lewis appeared and I even like it more. They will always survive and always be magnificent. Because they are selling something that is immortal and thats art. All other technical components and trends will pass.

 

There are products like quad electrostats that have been in production for 40 years and linn hifi and naim have produced amazing quality with little modification over the years.

most hifi products date and a lot of older b+o products are no longer of much value.

b+o need to intergate seamlessley with 3rd party products adding far more hdmi leads etc

trends do pass but most people will always buy into them.

a bc2 is a lovely piece of design but lots of people wont bluray built in and  they feel shortchanged
