They have. It's called BeoPlay!

 

 

It is my understanding that BeoPlay will cease to exist after this xmas.

This can't be right.. Why do they release new products (still more to come), and new colours?

Where do you get this information from??

A dealer friend of mine said he thinks that the BeoPlay name will disappear as the BeoPlay products are integrated back into the main line of products.

So just the BeoPlay branding will disappear but not the products?
Would assume so. Why would they stop producing them. Renaming is a different thing.

I we are talking iconic, i think the following should also be added:

BeoVision MX (such a radical departure from previous CRT TV design)

BeoVision Avant (original CRT version)

BeoSystem 2300/2500 (and successors) 

Beolink 1000 and successor Beo4 (BR One is an fairly bland compared to these)

 

 

If B&O is reabsorbing Play products into the main brand that is scary, there was a rationale for keeping the low end stuff separate. Integrating it, especially as a fair amount of the Play stuff has had very problematic quality and performance issues, is a fairly risky strategy, and seems to indicate their entire business model is shrinking/imploding.

I don't know maybe it's speculation on his part?

Perhaps SHEFFIELD or other dealers on the forum may know more?

Or is it just a rumour?

How come? Do you mean it will shift to the regular B&O branding?

Don't know for sure just what a dealer told me, maybe he was just mischief making.
