I have to agree with you on that one... When I saw the "A6 has landed" title, I thought Paul W bought himself an Audi A6 with a B&O sound system. Real names are easier to link with the actual product. Pena, Redline, Avant, Cona, etc. instead of " I like the beolab 18, or was it 19? Or to stay in car terms, the names of the different Land Rover models vs. Audi is a good example.

I guess that is a pretty individual matter - I do remember the numbers better.

With the Bang & Olufsen products they usually relate to the age of the products - BL9 came before the BL20.

With the B&O Play products they relate to 'how expensive' they are - remember the A3, small and rather inexpesive, the A9 big and expensive.

No rule without exceptions, however.

Entering a B&O shop it's like entering an Audi showroom don't you think ?

I'm not sure. I only popped into the Audi showroom for a moment.

I used to use Audi showrooms before the products became vulgar.

the use of the A prefix does not appear to have a reason. When does the tougher Range of Q products arrive ?

the A8 was headphones , then it was a docking device.Strange 

Haha yes I've got an A3 with the B&O speaker system. I chose it on its low emissions and cyclinder on demand engine. Its elegant but I think the jeeps Q are vulgar definitely. They had a bad reputation many years ago when I lived in Liverpool - it was the new Burberry :)

Yes I like a name on a product better, it's got more humanity about it I guess with the exception of the RENAULT 5 which was totally adored by many :)

I really couldn't see me driving an Audi A6 those are HUGE - I am the worst driver :) More of a biker :)

Hi yes, the naming is rather similar 

I remember when Volvo introduced the S40 they wanted to call it the S4, the V40 the V4 and so on, but Audi kicked up a fuss - and this was when those were just coming in to existence - so someone, somewhere, thinks this naming structure is great. 

To me - it says nothing about the product and explaining it to others, goes like this "so is that the 6, no that's the 8. Oh " lol

I don't mind it either way because i know what each product is, but others might find it confusing :-) 

I am not sure about BeoMaster, but I like BeoSound, but that is sometimes incongruent with me because I don't really like the "Beo" prefix in most of the product line, but I accept it and have embraced it :-) 

So, I wonder if:

• a is for audio 
• s is for system
• h is for head 
• v is for vision

Beolit is nice (one of the reason I bought it is the name, I wanted a Beolit !), Avant also.

Loved Ouverture.

The best ? Beomaster of course (even if it´s the name of the range and not a product. We need a 2016 Beomaster.
