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.

It's not to my taste either but spare us the party political broadcast Chris, this is not the place.

I don't understand all this arguing about that color. If you don't like it, you don't buy it.

We should be happy that B&O still tries to improve/ change their products.

Dear All:

With the price of gold at record levels, this is an interesting choice of color.  Perhaps, rap, rock, oil, or Ponzi scheme mogul will like this color.

I completely disagree with you, and i love that they are offering yet more choices. B&O is an elite comany... so ya can't say it's never been part of B&O philosophy.

The more wacky the colours and designs, the better, in my view :) but i enjoyed reading your post and i understand what you mean

I personally 100% agree with Tom. It's no biggie, just another colour to choose.

Just for the record - this idea stemmed from the demand from some hotels to B&O to make the all gold BV7's specifically for them. They have clearly seen how good it can look, including the demand, therefore decided to make the option available to all

So where are the BV7's encrusted in platinum and swarovski diamonds? If they're elite, I want diamonds!!

If I thought for one second that B&O were elitist I would have absolutely nothing to do with the brand.

Agree that they have never been mass market but they have nearly always been available to everyone who wants quality and are prepared to pay for it. Elitism is all about exclusion and B&O, historically, have never trodden that path and they would be foolish to think that is where the future lies for them.

No I wouldn't have puncher decorate my home either!!!! What happened to clean modern scandinavian design. In Gold the products  look, dare I say, a little 'common' or day i say more the 'beckhams'. 

Still..ive just bought white covers for my beolabs 9's..which my partner hates..
