I'm sure this news to warm the cockles on the lead up to Christmas, but instead of giving us the much-anticipated Q4 new products, we're getting a price increase instead :)
I've been told it's likely to be 1 December and between 3-5% across the product range.
The important point is, if you're considering a purchase, it might be wise to get this in before the end of November.
Good to see they have their finger on the planets financial pulse

Wait and see ... 😁 ... still 6 weeks left to the end of Q4!

The new price list for Central Europe has now been officialy released -
increase will be 2.5% to 2,75% and will affect most, but not all products.

Well, B&O's prime target audience has a recession the day the sun explodes.
When I discovered B&O in the late 80's, the company was famous for having prices that were not moving during the whole commercial life of a product..
Now it's the other way round😭
An guess what: I can't remember when was the last time I bought something new from B&O!🙁

Take a look at the Beolab 2 for example:
- Source: link
It costed almost £900 more in 2010 than when it was realeased in 2001!
And it's the same story with the 's, but then over 20 years.

Did I just dream that there was mention of "readdressing" pricing when Tue took the reins?😂
Or was it only me that took that to mean downward rather then up!🤔
Yes B&O is a premium brand - We all know this. But the Beolab 2 pricelist above puts into persepctive how out-of-hand the pricing has got! How can the price DOUBLE in 10 years?!?
The dealers struggle with this as much as the end-users and IMO the pricing needs to be restructured in line with the products...
For instance I still see 'lab 5's as good value at their current list price but the cost of Beovisions is well over the top.
increase will be 2.5% to 2,75% and will affect most, but not all products.
Good news it's less that some dealers were speculating (most likely to get me to buy something before the end of the month ;), but it's still amazing that they choose December for their "Merry Christmas! Oh, did you notice we raised our prices?" message. Surely 1 Jan would have been more appropriate?
Wasn't Tue the new saviour?
