Good subject for a thread Lee. I don't use B&O for video or video sound, but do for audio and a couple of ML linked rooms. I really can't think of any other brand that compares. While there are lots of decent sounding manufacturers of gear who make reliable and well built products (always had a thing for McIntosh), there is no one who makes comparable gear when you factor in aesthetics. There's more or less cool looking, but not the modernist/minimalist design oriented products such as Beo makes, anywhere. A few stylish speakers out there but not active ones.
It's sad, because there is just no company to step into the gap if B&O fails, and even for them, IMO, their latest stuff is deficient in design/style compared to the David Lewis gear.
