I bought my wife a Beolit 12 for her birthday on March 24th for £599 and a couple of months later it's £429. I paid £100 extra for smart upgrade on V1 and then that was given away shortly afterwards!

There's a pattern emerging ....

Beo Century ,Beoplay V1, Beocenter 6, Beolit 12, Beotime , A8 , MX 5500 .

Yes. My wife was saying last week  " should we get an A3 online for £129" , when I believe we considered one for £400 from the real shop when it came out !

I totally understand but it's still branded B&O and it's in a clearance outlet. I've been looking to spend on some new speakers for a while and the Beolit and the V1 experience plus seeing the obsolete A3 are at the back of my mind . 

I can confirm that Bang & Olufsen do not have any national deals or offers on any of the speakers range since the trade-in deal closed around the middle of last month.

I don't know of any store offering 20% off speakers, with or without a TV purchase - but dealers can set their own price structure.

Bang &Olufsen Uk own a number of stores - all of these stores will have the same pricing structure.  

We are an independent franchisee.

PM me if you would like to know more about our current deal....

I had a response from B&O today to my email about paying £100 for Smart TV and then it becoming free a few months later , and then buying a Beolit months before the £170 discount ; I was offered a free set of headphones. I accepted this kind offer . And the wishes for a great weekend too!

Far as I know the 20 percent off deal was a UK thing only and was sent in a private email. I don't know of any B&O dealer offering any sort of discount like that in the US. 

Are these speakers better than pre-owned BL9s I wonder? I did consider them but wanted a change from column speakers that I have had for years. How do the two compare?

Performance wise? Not in my opinion, but people buy for THEIR reasons.

Thanks for your thoughts. I had no idea they cost £4,500. Never looked into it since they didn't appeal to me. Amazed though that they are this price. They should be superb for that price tag.
