B&O stock is getting close to a 1-year-high, at DKK 71 (+7.58 %) last Friday, as their gross revenue is reportedly increasing nicely for the 4th quarter of their fiscal year.http://europe.wsj.com/articles/bang-olufsen-jumps-on-revenue-rise-capital-plans-1403171535Their latest product launches have obviously been successful. Avant's "affordable" price (in terms of B&O's pricing) is probably a big factor here. Sales numbers must be high. BeoLab 20 and BeoLab 18 have been great upgrades to replace BeoLab 9 and BeoLab 8002.I hope the increased sales and lower pricepoints have not resulted and do not result in "cutting corners" on the production lines. Avant's production issues were are a bit worrying, but apparently they've been worked out now – we'll see.BeoSound Moment sounds interesting (not sure about the wood though, but that's prejudice on my part – I need to see the finished product). The new BeoLabs should get rave reviews, BL20 in particular. I hope a "retake" on BeoLab 3 is in the works: size-wise it's perfect, but what it could use is a bit more bass — something Geoff Martin and the audio team could do their magic on.2014 is looking rather nice for B&O 🙂

Great newsAnd I think the Avant is selling wellYesterday a dealer member reported selling 4 in one day !And even staff are placing their ordersI really am looking forward to hearing about the design of the moment as I believe it will help clarify the architecture roadmap B&O are on
It is good news.
But it can quickly change, if they do not solve the problems with the Avant (as mentioned in anothet thread) very soon.

Maybe it doubles as a chopping board for the kitchen!
Reminds one of the YouTube clip of the grandfather and his iPad 😂Maybe it doubles as a chopping board for the kitchen! What time is it? Beotime!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
