Hi Lee have you any more news about this visit.? l know you have been very busy setting up this new web site but with only 10 weeks to go it is coming around very quickly.    

Hi Dudley,

I just got mail from Lee. He's asking for correcting details on spent nights at the hotel if they are wrong.

Looking forward to see you all in Struer

Thanks for the tip ... I checked and I had received mine 22 hours ago.

I am STILL playing with routes, durations and hotel bookings ... yesterday the FS said "I thought we were going to Italy" ... so now MORE route calculations and I might have to bypass some WWII sites !

Does someone have the exact details on when you will be having the museum visit? I will gladly drive there and meet some of you 🙂

There was a small "lottery" at the old forum with a trip to the factory as a prize. Only the Beosound 8 and Beolit 12 is made in China, much of it is made in the czech republic, but the Struer/Holstebro factories are still making a lot (Beolab 5, all aluminum parts, R&D)

Furthermore, Struer Museum has a quite extensive collection of B&O.

Is the museum open to anyone visiting Struer?

Struer Museum with the B&O display is open to anyone visiting Struer - and well worth seeing.  Check the following link:

There's always been a lot of ridiculous rumors about B&O...Years ago people were saying "It's all just Philips in a nice wrapping"...
And now it's "all made in China"...
Don't listen to all that crap....

They are going to visit the B&O Headquarter and Factory called "the farm". As I remember back in 2007 when I was there this is a very special trip. B&O will show things to Beoworld members that ordinary people are not allowed to see. You can say they roll out the red carpet for them. It is  kind of a museum, but with the factory next door. You get to know some important people at B&O who are responsible for the products. For me the most impressing person was Geoff Martin, sound designer, who is responsible for nearly every audio setup at B&O, especially car audio.

This trip is worth every penny and you will remember the visit for a long time !

There are only two or three pieces of the B&O stuff which are made in China. Most of them are still produced in Denmark or Slovakia as I remember correctly.

Regards

Martin
