Being in the US I have never heard of Loewe, but after looking into it I would be very interested if they were to start bringing their products over here.

Same from up north, never heard of them before the buzz around their Bild7 online. Would love the option to import one.

Lee, that looks super nice... although the red lightning could be... misunderstood. 😎

It's a Philips Hue preset called "Savannah Sunset"

It's actually oranges and yellows - but yes, on the image it looks more like an "Amsterdam Midnight" 

I'll have a mess about with the 'themes' 😁

Hello Mr S!

All is well thanks.  Enjoying the A1(M) on a weekly basis.  😐😐

Hope the Sykes empire is still booming, in its various forms.

Thank you for your kind words.

Our next challenge is making people aware of the brand, then aware of how good it is.  I watched Netflix being streamed to a Bild 7 OLED this week, and I have to say.. it was incredible.  I went home to my Avant 75 and all of a sudden wasn't as impressed as I used to be.

I'm so looking forward to seeing the Eclipse.  If Loewe can get that kind of image out of an OLED, I assume B&O's offering will make me weak at the knees!  I hope so, for the companies sake - and all the dealers who are depending on it.

I wish you the very best with Loewe and for the future.

What a great pity that the opportunity presented to Mr Tui Mantoni bought about the effective demise of B&O. No doubt he has gone to make a 'success' of some new venture.

Of course we all wear rose tinted spectacle in respect of the B&O brand, I would hasten to suggest that if one went into any store selling OLED and QLED ( which promises great things) one would never have been impressed with the new avant- even when it first came out.

So with Loewe we have a brand without the 7X tax but probably a 4X tax.  One can only try and see if the average purchaser is  prepared to pay this premium when mainstream rivals do it better, with products changing and improving every 6 months

Visiting the Design Museum in Kensington yesterday I looked across the road to see that their http://www.loewe-uk.com/uk/gallery/uk-gallerys/kensington.html flagship store has closed. Obviously everybody is finding things tough and that location was well sited for design conscious shoppers to see after a visit to the new museum. 

Maybe the UK "flagship" store will soon be in Eastbourne!

Hopefully so!!
