Found this comment from B&O in an article of the online Jyllandsposten.

You'd probably have to run that through 'Google Translate' ;-)

P.S. On topic: Abt out of Chicago sold B&o online for years -though they seem to have retreated from that within the last year or so. They still maintain a showroom, however.

I believe that stores running unofficial websites are liable to be giraffed by head office.

ABT back to selling

How very tacky

..

Apple sells B&O online, so why not an authorized dealer?  The reality of retail distribution. What disturbs me more  is the group dumping BeoPlay in the UK.  In the US when an unauthorized group dumps a product, the warranty doesn't transfer. What about UK?

Luxussound has been around for quite some time.

They have been selling the whole B&O range online for a couple of years. So the store mentioned above was not the first.;)

As you see in my initial post my point wasn't to discuss which shop was the first or second....

I tried to raise the question:

Do you think it is a good idea to sell the Bang & Olufsen products online?

Evening all.  I would have to say that my initial substantial foray into B&O has not been the luxury experience that I would have hoped for.  Dead pixels on BV11 and questions about replacement (although it was eventually replaced) and fail to deliver product in anything even remotely like a reasonable time.  I ordered a motorised stand for BV11 - 7 weeks ago, was told 3 weeks, still not here and given a demo store unit instead.  So frankly, where it not for the initial complication of set up and all that, I would have been more than happy to shop the entire experience on-line, particularly if it came with a discount.  It would be unlikely to be any more fraught than it was with the store experience, although they did try hard, I will give them that credit.

I didnt't see that in your initial post... The words "first" and "ever" implied something else. ;)
