Sorry folks, but it's a bug-bear of mine when people who know absolutely nothing about B&O start waxing lyrical about the brand and products, then come up with the old 'uber stylish ultra expensive' chestnuts.  

There have actually been some reviews where i've physically thrown down a magazine forcefully in a mixture of despair and disgust after reading utter inaccurate drivel where the 'reviewer' clearly hasn't been within 100 metres of a B&O product and has obviously been asked by his editor to 'knock up an article' about a new or existing product.

I've seen and met some of these people on a few of the B&O launches i was kind enough to be invited to.  They were the ones that ate the food, drunk the free wine, then fell asleep during the presentations..

So - for a BeoWorld T-Shirt, CD's, BeoWorld Mousemat & Coaster Set and whatever else I can lay my hands on in the 'BeoWorld Goodie-Room' - I want you to find some utter garbage that's been written about B&O by total buffoons.  The best one (or is it the worst one) wins...

Off you go..

😁

Another one, just for laughs (not written garbage but definite buffoonery) covered by BeoWorld HERE.

Great finds Jeff. I had never seen that video before. Definitely burst out laughing!

That first one sounds like a nakamichi advert.

Jeff,

That "soupcraze" guy used to have a review of the BS9000 where he compared it (negatively) to 6 portable CD players attached to a piece of wood.  Something like the 6 portable CD players would sound just as good and cost thousands less.  Not sure what happened to it - I looked for it a few years back and it was gone.

That's the beauty of the internet Jeff - there's no intermediary to do the filtering!

I thought his review was mildly amusing actually, and I don't think he tried too hard to cover up the fact that he was talking bullocks and had probably only ever looked at a picture of a BS9000. He obviously has a passion for Sony and Yamaha though...

I am getting very tired of that man's words. So much unnecessary talk...

But I suppose thats the point right now 😂

His specificity of competing products probably only comes from his ownership of those very products.
