That’s my local dealer and they have had to diversify massively.....brand wise. B&O really seem to be losing the plot from the top down in marketing terms. I rarely,if ever,buy new myself...the cost versus reliability and service is too heavily loaded in the wrong direction. Im

 

Lucky my dealer has a fab service guy who has done great work for me...hope he never retires!!

 

You based around Glasgow mate?  🙂

 

Does not look to me as if much has happened (changed). Entry products still availabe for an online purchase, „real“ loudspeakers and TVs still not. Both on eBay and B&O website. 

I mean, there were already some resellers with solid offer in their webstores with complete portfolio - but that I merely see as an individual enterpreneurial effort rather than a „policy“. 

And btw, is this forum moderated at all or we are just going to call each other random names and patronize? Not cool.

Stirling and Perth had dealers long ago but they closed around 10 years ago. So unless you live near Aberdeen the Glashow shop is your only dealer and they have added so many new brands presumably to keep business turning over....for a good while yet one hopes,even though I haven’t bought new in a long while as nothing new really appeals and I have what I need in my home.

Razzy, bless your little heart, the only thing your obsession proves to me is that I definitely need to find a way to attract a better class of enemy.

Beovirus victim, it's gotten to be too much to list!

I cannot believe this kind of tone on this forum.

We do not need this here.

Well, I've never come in at the end of a thread, acted indignant, and called for anyone to be banned so there's that at least. 😕

Thank you for your post. Sadly Jeff has a long history of making personal attacks and insults directed at me. Over the last several months, in addition to the language you mention and the modification of my name to Razzy in an obvious attempt to mock and degrade, Jeff has directed the following statements at me: He has called me "Captain Pedantic", he has called me self absorbed, indignant, has referred to me as having a hissy fit, called me worthless, tedious, told me to grow a sack of self confidence, called me a whiner, referred to our discussion as he said SHE said, accused me of having an imprecise conversational style, has accused me of histrionics, and has described me as "lacking in the level of curiosity.....”. Given this past history I am sure nothing will change in the future.

I don't think moderation is needed on this occasion.

Beoworld is a great forum with some fantastic valued members, all who contribute positively and constructively the majority of the time. Razlaw and Jeff are such valued members and it would be a great shame in my opinion to 'moderate' them, or anyone else come to that.

We are all human and it can often be challenging to accept difference, let alone celebrate it. We have all had our disagreements in here, myself included when I was also rude to Jeff and his culture once, which I apologised for swiftly afterwards. Conversations are fuelled with passion and sometimes that passion gets lost in anger and attacking words, but I feel sure that this is never intentional from the outset from any of us.

Can we agree to draw a line under the past, noting and acknowledging the hurtful words that have been said, but bringing us all back to the main reason we joined; to discuss, share and debate our love (or dismay) at the Bang & Olufsen company and brand? This is a truly resourceful site with some great people and I personally look forward to logging in and keeping up with the threads most evenings.

Simon.

Well said Simon.

Sticks and Stones etc.

I can confirm that I did NOT moderate any posts in this thread, But I would ask members to communicate in a manner you would expect to receive postings meaning with politeness.
