Excuse my French : '*** et bonne chance'

linkSorry to hear that Lee, and thanks for excellent service over the years.

I purchased this from you almost exactly 10 years ago - it's still going strong πŸ™‚

Sad news indeed. Good luck, Lee!

Sorry to see this happen but all good thing must come to an end. I'm sure it's been a great run and much fun. Ending as friends in this way is probably one of the best way to decommission a business.

Thanks Lifestyle AV for everything πŸ™‚

Very sorry to hear this Lee. I too remember throwing in some name suggestions when you decided to launch into the pre owned Bang & Olufsen market. You did it so well others copied but without quite the success your enthusiasm managed.  Good luck with your future projects.

Does this mean we can start calling you Swiss Toni again?

I wish you well Lee and all the very best for the future. Regrettably, I am not shocked to hear this news as I was expecting it to trickle down to all involved in selling anything B&O related and I am sure it won't be long before Morethan, Iconic and others follow suit. It's not a sustainable business to be in and I fear even worse for official ADs. B&O have definitely lost a much of their former 'magic' with some crazy outdated ideas and products in recent years.

There is no doubt you will succeed in your next venture and you can hold your head up high with Lifestyle AV being a great success for 12 years so well done and positive thinking as you take on your next challenge. All the best, S.

Thanks Lee, Godspeed and good luck!

Bummer Lee, I am sorry too hear this. I hope you have a plan B.

Very, very sad to hear about this Lee. Your dedication was obvious, as was your love for the brand, and your help has always been appreciated (as I look at my BL8000s sitting on the rubber feet you so kindly provided me!). Also sadly, your previous posts make this not a complete surprise, you are in a very difficult position, or were, and I'm wondering if you're going to continue with Loewe or just abandon retail completely. At any rate, I wish you success and happiness in whatever endeavor follows this, and feel confident your attitude and professionalism will ultimately lead to success. You're one of the good guys Lee, hang in there. B&O is sadly not what it was. The old saying "the fish rots from the head" is apt, as their problems at HQ flow down to the dealers which flows down to you unfortunately.

I join everyone else in wishing you luck and success and will be interested in where you go from here.

Jeff

Really sorry, Lee :-(

I wish you the very best for the future...

Good luck!
