I was wondering if we could assemble both a little positivity, hope and some reliable indications of new B&O products on the horizon in the next 6-12 months.

1. Insiders with info please feel free to contribute...

2. Bang & Olufsen employees feel free to contribute as much info as possible without getting sacked...

3. Like a cold ward spy, I would happily sleep with a B&O employee (female of course) to get this info were it not for being married. For King & Country...Ha ha!

4. Dude1 you have given us some tit-bits of veiled info so feel free to contribute...

5. I will start - B&O will be releasing a successor to the Beosystem 3 successor (costing about £5000) that can be used with 3rd part TV panels and a new TV stand that will impress and is rather unusual but cool. I know that's not very exciting but together we are greater than the sum of our parts...!

BEFORE WE ALL GET CARRIED AWAY - let this not become a rumour mill or a wish-list that never comes to fruition. We will audit this thread in 12 months and those that with right/reliable/accurate postings now will be awarded later and those that are confirmed as blatant fabricators will face the chop with Madame La Guillotine...!

I had a listen to the new H6 headphones a few weeks ago in the NYC Flatiron shop and was told that the shipment was en route from Denmark. While they still are not listed on the online store, I am very excited to get my hands on a pair. I don't recall if they had any H3's in stock but I'll be interested to see how those compare to the A8 line. (As a side note, the sales rep told me the US pricing was $399 for the H6.)

I got a card in the mail encouraging me to go to my local store and  "listen and pre-order" the h3 or h6.  $249 for the h3, $399 for the h6. I see that abt.com (my local store) has h3s in stock and h6s on back order.  Unfortunately,  I really only use headphones on airplanes, and I don't think the h3s have enough noise isolation, but I may go take a look anyway.  To me, the h6s look to be the better value ("only" $150 more for a large over the ear headphone with nice leather), but they're too big for travel and I have bl8000s for office listening.

Other new products?   I haven't a clue.

Is that due to more cut backs.
