Report from the annual shareholders meeting at B&O, Struer

26 replies

Thanks ChrDH for the fabulous report and the pics. Your my hero of the day!

Well, what do the others think about the news in winter-wonder-land aka the white wave? For me at least the white bv9 looks fine, but the remaining items, I don´t know... Bl9 is so-so in my eyes, the black stripes are kind of disturbing. Would have been much better in an all-white version, like the white bv8. But the biggest disappointment is the white bs9000 to me. The model looks -pardon me- patched up like in a hurry. Why they simply painted the alu-part white, is beyond my understandig. Wouldn´t it have been much better to let the metal be classic brushed alu and paint the black door white and do the plastic back housing in white too? That would have been really stylish... But this? The blueish-black laquer of the striped black front door doesn´t match the white alu-board at all. Seems to be like a panic reaction on dropping sales. Just one word on  "B&O had misunderstood the market". They didn´t misunderstood, they simply didn´t hear to their customers. They were just arrogantly trying to complete their line-up in a way of "buy it or leave us alone" and trying to sell cheap, small screens for a premium. Not to mention the dvb-t disaster aka the neverending story of digital freeview the danish way. So they got what they deserved. Let´s hope for better times.

 

Kind regards, beoberlin 

It looks like the BS5 is attached to the floor panel on the right side. I am still hoping one can take it off and use it as a 2 way remote. Since the Beomaster will house everything to play the media anything else wouldn't make much sense to me.
Thanks for the great pictures. I somewhat like the Beolab 9 in white.
Thanks for the info! Looking forward to see the pictures. 🤒

Fantastic photo's Christian. You are a star! Thanks again.

Christian,

 

What was the purpose of the Beosound 6 on the side of the Beovision 4 screen?  Great info.

 

Thanks

Transcript is up. Again they stress how the Beosound 5 is important for them. I so hope they are not messing this up.

My dealer told me today that the next issue of Beobrief (Magazine from B&O Scandinavia) brings an article with BS5. It´s released in week 42. Looking forward to that and some pictures. I was a little disappointed that the generalmeeting didn´t reveal much.

I like the idea of a larger BV8, but I would have also liked to have heard something about a new, larger BV7.  I'm fairly indifferent about the Blu-Ray drive on a 40" TV - heck, I'm fairly indifferent about a Blu-Ray drive on any TV.  What I'd like, though, is a larger LCD panel from B&O.  Has anyone heard rumors of a 46" or 50" LCD from B&O?

 

Nice pics 🤒

(the classic items could have been taken on location in Andy T's lounge 😕 )
