Not B&O but...

Hello,

Have you seen this?

http://www.loewe.de/en/loewe-ag/press/press-releases/top-news/newspost/beitrag/jede-epoche-hat-ihren-massstab.html

I think that B&O has to react soon. And you? 

Have to agree, the range looks amazing. Will await reviews of performance eagerly.
It's kinda cute but I still like B&O's setup better. B&O is more avantgarde whereas Loewe is more mainstream design.

"Warning: Important Safety Notice

Examination of Loewe picture tube TV sets from the years of production 1999 to 2001, and of TV sets made by AHB


Safety and reliability of the products have the highest priority at Loewe. In the framework of continuous quality checks it was discovered that, in picture tube TV sets from the production period March 1999 to October 2001, faults could arise at certain soldered points which could lead to overheating of the set and, in the worst case, to a danger of fire.

Only 100 Hz picture tube TV sets made by Loewe, and certain 100 Hz picture tube sets made by AHB are affected.

These sets are now between 6 and 8 years old.

To avoid any risks for our customers, Loewe points out that these TV sets should be checked by an authorised dealership as a precautionary measure. This will involve checking the affected soldered-riveted joint and re-soldering. This precautionary check has been carried out over the past three years at every repair carried out in Loewe workshops.

Loewe recommends that customers should have the check made as soon as possible and not to operate the set until it has been checked.

You can check here whether your set is affected by this campaign."

 

I wonder whether Loewe are taking advantage of the perceived high pricing of B&O AV products, giving the consumer who wants a well designed product  a more reasonable price point. Personally I still prefer B&O design but if I were stuck for cash, and I am sure many consumers are at the moment, Loewe would represent a fairly acceptable and attractive compromise.

And Data transfer though electric socket. Not more problems when you need a new link somewhere and you just didn't think about it when you built your house!!!!!!!

And it happened to me.

......and another thing. As I'm sure that B&O product managers follow Beoworld (and it is wise to do so if you need to see what people want) .....maybe you should please concidet this dat transfer / masterlink through electric plugs, which is an old technology but frankly spoken it saves alot of time, effort and money. Additionally it really helps as mentioned before, when you just need a new link somewhere around the house. I'm using the data transfer through the electric socket because it is really helpful for LAN/INTERNET to a room in the house that I have no ethernet plug. VERY USEFUL. PLEASE CONSIDER
It looks very good I must say, but I agree with wonderfulelectric that Loewe design is less cutting edge than the best Bang & Olufsen products. I'm a hardcore design freak so I'm still with the Danes...
