BeoWorld Asia??

37 replies

Hi, can we have a beoworld Asia section too? we're people too you know. :)

Quite a big area! The reason there is a North American area is the fact that B&O tend to have a slightly different product range available. Think AV7000 and CMM-10. The Avant was also very different.

The Asian market seems far more like the rest of the world. The other question would be which language would you want? I would have no problems per se but the regional forums can sometimes miss out on answers compared to the General Forum so it might stagnate. If there were a ground swell of opinion for this though, I could see no problem in setting such a forum up. I could set up a poll if you wish. It does seem to me that the General Forum becomes the Asian and Oceanic forum at night already! 😁

Oh it will be good to have all languages of the world forums. I would like to have a Beoworld Greece section.....but then it will be only myself and Spiros in there.......😁😁😁😁😁

Well, then I would have to vote for a Clitheroe subforum! 👍

Or how about one for us Swedish speaking Finns...? We're not Swedes.

... and i speak with a slight Northern accent, so could we have a 'from up't North' section?   😕

Seriously though - if an Asia Forum will get used by lots of people, we'd be happy to host it.  We've tried to make BeoWorld as streamlined as possible with the minimum of different fora as possible.  This makes the site much easier to navigate and use - and i think we've pretty much got the balance right.

However, if we go to the trouble of creating one - then two people use it once every three weeks, it'll fall on its own sword in record time.. Erm

I know who are the two persons of Lee's example... 👍. I have to withdraw my proposal for a Greek subforum. Hope the Clitheroe one will flourish though...

Not sure even Google Translate can handle Clitheronian, it's a dead dialect ........ dead weird!😂

I can certainly understand your concerns and, since I don't know how many of us Beoworlder's are from Asia, it is difficult to argue that a Beoworld Asia forum will be used often enough to justify its opening.  Having said that, I would venture to say that there is a fast growing number of B&O users and fans across Asia (I've been to over 15 stores in Asia myself) and that these users, like myself, would be interested in hearing about and sharing different experiences within the region.  Many people in Asia also speak English, so English would be the choice of language, IMHO.  For example, staff at B&O stores in cities like Beijing, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Tokyo all spoke relatively fluent English, enough to help consumers.  Also, since product launchings (and regional product modifications) in the region are different from other regions, it would be helpful to share such information.  For example, I was able to find a beosound 5 in Singapore over a year ago whereas it still hasn't been officially launched yet here in Seoul (at least to my knowledge).

This is a little different from wanting one on Clitheroe, IMHO.  :)

Just my two cents.
