Any idea what makes it 1,000 gbp more expensive than the regular version? The anthracite version was 100 gbp more expensive, but not 1,000...

If people are willing to pay for it... why not?

Good question. I'd pay a £200-300 premium, but not an additional £1000 and not for a BeoSound 1! BeoSound 2 would make me seriously consider as it's far stronger and more standalone speaker.

Someone once asked if it's worth purchasing for an 'investment', but a colour of a product has never pushed up the longer term resale price of any B&O product. ie. you're not going to be able to shift it on eBay for £2500 in 6 months.

I don’t find this colour variant particularly interesting but that’s just me!

It's a bit bizarre. I'm 95% sure this was a special custom corporate order which required a minimum run and they had 10 left over, hence the choice of colour and price.

Duplicate!

That would be catastrophic!

Think if you shed out that much money for something that is 1 of 10 in the world, and it turns out there are 100 of it...
