Forget the old thread.
Imagine you are the person that Tue Mantoni has asked for a list of older products to be eliminated to simplify the product range.
What you do suggest?
This is just a game of speculation which is what this forum does all the time.
Make your list and include your reasons.
Of douse if we all had access to the actual product sales numbers this would be easy.🙂
I don't really wish to focus on the products to eliminate, rather the older ones that should remain or be upgraded...
Iconic products:
BeoLab 8002
BeoLab 6002
BeoLab 5
BeoLab 3
BeoVision 11
Products to be upgraded:
BeoSound 5 & Encore (Better expandability, airplay and no external black box)
BeoVision 7 (Thinner profile to match that of BeoVision 10 & 11)

They should bring back the iconic Jacob Jensen Beomasters, like the BM1200. This time around with Dab and N Radio, and either internal ICEpower amps for Beovox, or outputs for Beolabs.

Thinner is not possible because of the dimming leds panel (thats what i been told)
Not on the 7-40. It shares the same backlighting platform as BV 10 and 11.
It has already been posted by Roger that a new TV to replace the BV7 should come next year. However the sizes indicated seem to point to more of a replacement for the BV4 85 / 103 than the current 7 sizes?
B&O from the published reports is continues to bleed red ink. The dealers in Europe are suffering large turnover declines from news reports. Products must be eliminated to free up cash flow for all to survive. There are many on this form who think they could run B&O better the the current team. So how would you do it?
If anything needs to go, it should be the BeoSound 4. It was never the icon like BS-9000 or the BS-2500 range. Since audio and video has merged with the personal computer, the focus of B&O should shift away from audio and video players to audio speakers and large screen video monitors (i.e. smart TV). I think that's the route Tue has already chosen to go.
BeoSound 4 was officially terminated earlier this year :)If anything needs to go, it should be the BeoSound 4. It was never the icon like BS-9000 or the BS-2500 range.

I think that's the route Tue has already chosen to go. BeoVision 7-55 3D, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound 8, BeoLab 7-6, BeoLab Penta III, BeoLab 8000, BeoLab 6000, BeoLab 2, LC-1, BeoTime (analog clock), Form 1 headphones, Beo 4 remote.

Audio and video is integrating with the Net and mobile devices. While there is not a good system for high quality easy integrating listening and viewing this content. So interact Besound5 with apps for playing content. Optical and harddrives drives are obsolete. Landlines as wel. And within the B&O range define a low, mid and high range devices.
