Have they taught you the meaning of the name and it's correct pronunciation?

Answer ( learver means Lion in German)

Hey... I'm not looking to change BeoWorld. It's a B&O website for B&O enthusiasts. Meddling with it to incorporate Loewe would be, well, just a bit odd... and to some degree wrong.  This site isn't an extension of my business - it's somewhere for B&O fans to be, to share ideas, opinions and very often help each other.

I'd like to see Loewe as an alternative to B&O, not a replacement - just as it is now with many B&O dealers.  Will it knock B&O off its perch going forward? Who knows...  If B&O continue as they are, there's a strong chance Loewe will become the 'new B&O' as far as TV's go.

Either way, I'll always love B&O for the pleasure it's given me since I was a teenager, and the living it's given me for the past 12 years.  I'll always support the brand, but at the end of the day I've got to look after my own business - even if B&O can't look after theirs.

With persmission, of course, I'd love to have a small Loewe advert on here - and offer BeoWorld Members special deals. I'd rather you bought Loewe than Samsung, Sony, LG etc. - but, if people are uncomfortable with this, I'll respect their wishes.

Just noticed that Richer Sounds are a Loewe dealer. They seem to charge Loewe's RRP.

I wish you all the best Lee and I'm sure you will be as passionate as you are with B&O! This is the key of the success.

Gut gebrüllt, Loewe!

In Germany it is a compliment to tell somebody that he found just the right strong wording on a matter.

May this forum live on thus helping me to find the right decisions as I found up to today.

May your business plan be a real success.

Hi Lee,

I am pleased to read so many positive replies to your opening thread (Part 2) and I too would like to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the very best in your new endeavours. Of course you must make such a decision given how B&O currently is, and has been, for some time. It has been a slow decline and we have all shared this demise playing out and felt sad by it, especially me as I cannot begin to express to you (and other community members) just how much I have always loved the B&O brand. It was so much more than a brand; a real passion.

You have to move on in business as 'we' have to move on as consumers and fans. The simply truth is that B&O no longer stand for what they once did and it is obvious many of us feel this way. They have lost completely lost direction and do not seem concerned about very negative feedback (albeit constructive) often received from customers, many loyal to the brand for several years. So best we leave them to it.

Peter mentions he might be a future purchaser of Loewe from you and I will too. I will have finished renovating my current property in about 6 months time and at that point be looking to install a top of the range television that I would have liked to have been B&O. However, if B&O disappoint again I will happily consider Loewe as the next best alternative. In fact it may even be better so suffice to say, I'll be in touch at some point. If none of these then I was going to consider the Sony A1 or LG W7 as it currently stands.

You're an excellent chap and have provided and continue to provide a great forum for those of us passionate about B&O so thank you for that. Reading the Beoworld forum is something I always look forward to most evenings before bed. You do your best to keep it lively (I do too!) and to create discussion but we all feel how challenging this has become as really, there is little new to talk about as much has been discussed before and there is little to no excitement about anything B&O these days.

I really don't think it matters what you sell as it is you that makes a success of it, so keep fighting the good fight and I'll certainly support you and buy from you if I am looking to buy any products you sell that I am wanting going forward.

Loewe is a good choice and perhaps they will be more appreciative and accommodating of your/our passion than B&O have been; although I acknowledge B&O have involved you a lot to some extent in recent years and invited you to various meetings, but it seems when it really comes down to it they are not actually that interested in what their customers think and desire, and that's the saddest part of it all. As I said in a post to your Part 1 thread, this is surely about greed and that's where it all falls over, for anyone, not just for B&O.

All the very best,
Simon.

Good luck Lee, I gave up on B&O early 2000th, but as many here on the forum I will continue with the vintage, a Loewe forum here on the forum is a good idea

Good evening,

Even if it is out of topic in a B&O forum, does Loewe plans to return to North America?

Thanks,

Jean

 

Loewe was in the New York city area for a short time in the late 1990's.
