I have a faint hope that the people in charge of music for the BeoSound 5 web page, and for B&O's main pages with music, will have nothing to do with music selections for BeoLounge ... 😁

Maybe like Playstation Home, you create your own virtual personality, virtual home with your B&O set-up, your furniture, art collection, cars......either you can afford it or not and other virtual users can visit you or vice versa and you can talk, exchange ideas...or even shop at B&O store (maybe pay virtually and do get the product delivered !!)...and B&O virtual sales person knocking on your door and offering you a deal that you can not turn down.....B&O CEO knock on your door to thank you for your great suggestion or apologize for your inconvenience...I can keep going...who want to continue..........

I have ended my membership of the B&O site. Rest assured no information on this site will be used to try to sell you anything nor will your information be shared with anyone.

I'm also not very "amused" by this change of style of the so-called "community" of the B&O website,

which has transformed into to a system that is dedicated solely into getting you into a store 

by indexing what you do / read / have, and so on.

Well actually I did log on to they B&O site aftr many months due to this topic 😂

I doubt if they can do something even at 10% of Beoworld

Oh they could do Spiros, no question about that. The only problem is they have left it far too late and they know that. BeoWorld is already a very well established site with a strong community and that took years and a lot of effort to create. It continues to grow in many different ways. Lee had the foresight, B&O didn't, now the best they can do it work alongside BeoWorld and keep up good relations, but they'd love to have access to the stats and info here all to themselves, thats for sure. I quite like it being this way round actually, makes it much more interesting and competitive, which is always a good thing.

Agree, Peter. A Community run by a brand should be a gathering place where enthusiasts have their whims and needs catered to. B&O's use of the Community has been pretty sub-standard, with customers waiting for weeks to receive platitudes for answers, and with the forum being turned into advertising space.

Are you certain you wish to delete your account? Yes, I was.

amen to that soundproof   :-)

Just tried to find a PDF doc with MX8000 (not english!) on the B&O Website - looked in the lounge, too. Gave up after 50 seconds... This is not the way to offer support documents - you should find them within 10 seconds!

Even the search function on the website does not should results...

A huge step backwards!

PS: At least I could get some english pdfs here 🙂
