Bang & Olufsen goes GOLD
this was reference for the metallic colors... orbaudio
i'd like to see a darker bronze, as mentioned.
Here is an example of a touch of gold in a television furniture : Concerto by Tarcizio Colzani

Or with another kind of doors (I'm not fan of this one...)

There is gold around the TV, less than on the BV7, but that doesn't look bling bling.
I am planning to furnish my home with new glossy white furniture which will go nicely with most of the silver/black B&O products. With all these new colors and finishes i was just thinking whether it is cheaper to buy new set of furniture to suit your new colored B&O equipment! :D Luckily they didn't quit using the "original" colors...
Interesting .....
but I don't like it .
Sorry but gold B&O is just horrible
Only people with rococo or baroque designs will ever buy this stuff and IMO these are styles which should never have been allowed happened in the first place. Styles which were financed by the idle/priveleged rich striving for oneupmanship and generally paid for on the backs of the poor & towntrodden masses.
I hate this type of ostentation. B&O first appealed to me because it was something to aspire to own (down to great design and cutting edge technology) and within reach of the common man with enough hard work and application. This type of design stinks of elitism which has never been part of the B&O philosophy as far as I can remember - up until now. Are they really so desperate that they feel the need to appeal to the flash Harry's of this world instead of concentrating on what used to be their core values??
Sorry for the rant chaps & chapettes but I've had a bad day.

I personally think B&O has been a bit behind with the thing about going White and now Gold. Metallic colours has been really popular in interior design and also fashion for about 2 years now so I can see Gold working quite well in a lot of contemporary interiors because it's a warmer colour compared to silver/aluminium.
I've just bought a pair of these to stand one on each end of the BL7-2
WOW punch how'd you sneak those BL3 stand pictures out from under the sheep? ๐
Why is B&O always changing the outside before the inside? Bring us the latest TV panels, amps & connections, instead of always changing the colours..and after that, B&O do not understand why people say it is only style & no substance..๐
Nevertheless, I like the pictures, question is to know if I'll like the real products in gold, even though I'll never buy any of them: my interior has no gold, only silver๐
