Depends in wich part of the city you are living. Have you tried Fux AG? They are the biggest Dealer in switzerland, it think (www.fux-ag.ch). They even have the Beolab 90 in the showroom. I once talked to Marc Fux, one of the owner, he had (for me) a very good knowledge about B&O but also on other solution in combination with B&O.

If you leave more in the eastern part, you could try Dietiker & Humbel in Winterthur. I usually go to them, because i live there. They are easygoing and also very supportive.

Cheers Urs

I really cannot recommend Fux AG! They are only interested in selling new B&O stuff and not very enthusiastic if you have older B&O gear in combination with new stuff.

Try Adi Wyss www.adiwyss.ch. He was once B&O dealer and he’s a hands-on and helpful guy. I’m not sure if he’s able to communicate in English. If the problem occurs  please write me a PM and we can have a chat. I’m based in Zurich as well. I bought the most stuff at Steager in Thalwil.

I popped into Fux and also found them to be much more interested in new equipment rather than old. For example, when I enquired about a multiroom setup the suggestion was to upgrade my BV7 to a new Avant. I had to ask whether a converter would work to integrate the BV7/Beosound 3000! The response; 'ummm I think so but we would need to make an appointment to come over and have a look'.

Steager are even worse. It was difficult to find someone who spoke English and when I did we arranged an appointment for someone to visit. On the day no one arrived or even called. When I called them they claimed they came over but couldn't find my apartment (the doorbell is clearly labelled)!

I found Adi Wyss' website a few weeks ago and wrote to him via the enquiries page. Zero response!

B&O dealers are falling over themselves back in London to help to build a relationship with you for future purchases. That's certainly not my experience here. Perhaps business is so good that dealing with a non-German speaker with legacy equipment is just not worth their while.

All I want is:

-          To have the mess of cables behind my BV7 tidied up

-          To link my BV7 to by BS3000 (I even have a good 20m of masterlink cable in my cellar but I don't know how to wire the plugs at the ends)

-          Introduce a ML/NL converter and look at buying a couple of wireless speakers for the other rooms (A9/A6 or perhaps the new BS35).

I know its complete sacrilege to say this on a B&O forum but I'm extremely tempted to get rid of the BS3000, and a buy a few multiroom wireless speakers from someone else (Naim or B&W)!
