We know that 🙂The question is could / should they have ?When you look at the stackable family of the 5000s, 5500s, 6000s, 6500s and 7000s we have an example of a design that matured with technology changes. Same with BV5 and BV9. Same with BV 10 and 11.That is not how B&O works! MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.

Im missing the B&O Magic in(at) the Moment
35 replies
I couldn't agree more that the Moment is different.
My personal preference is for the "older" '00s stuff that had its magical presence. The Beosound 5 is as far digital as id go with their stuff. It is digital while still being a beautiful physical piece with movement.
The trouble is guys, the 'old stuff' simply was not selling. Maybe the BS4 or BC2 sold to the very few people on this forum BUT it was not selling even in its day. BS4 was never regarded as a great product. MM is right, B&O would never go back and are aiming for a new customer with the Moment.
Tue obviously knows who his customer is. B&O PLAY have a brand manual on Pinterest, and my gosh, they are spot on with who they think or indeed want the B&O Play clientele to be!
The Moment should DEFINITELY be a BANG&OLUFSEN product rather than a Play. Play is for iPhone/Apple people like me :)

I would agree about the BS4 - OK but not a classic.
Tue may think he knows who he wants but they are not lining up to beat the door down - if the people he is trying to attract aren't turning up in sufficient numbers whilst he is alienating those of his traditional clientele that haven't died yet then I would suggest that he's in trouble!!
I have nothing constructive to say about Pinterest.
The Moment is, at best, a Play product, even if forthcoming software updates transform it's abilities and performance, there are lists of reasons elsewhere on the forum that will prevent it from ever becoming a "real" B&O audio system.
Disappointed as well. Its like a Samsung , LG device.
