General

products who are well made ( tested in every step of production,tested in every environment (smoke,etc...) , well conceived ( what does the consumer need?,how can we improve the experience of the costumer,...), who are different (touches of aluminium,...), the "right" pricetag: not high, not low but in line with the product offered (capabilities, design, ...) and only supply them to dealers wich have enough knowledge of bang & olufsen (introduce "mistery shopper")

 and keep the products up to date (  like the current introduction of hdmi for bv 7-32)

Reward your clients ( loyalty program), keep your prices steady (they are high, you should not raise them over the lifetime of a product)

I posed that as a question for the UK CEO last time Beoworld asked some questions. He said that it was an interesting idea and would look in to it. Since then, nothing apart from a price increase!

No 'loyalty program' at all, apart form B&O making us feel we're lucky to own the technology.

New loudspeaker.

To fill the gap between the beolab 3 and beolab 9.

Something out of the ordinary. I want the promised translucent aluminium - maybe a return to the electronic lids seen on the BC8500 - in other words only the relevant buttons showing for each source, two way remote control and some way of having a screen that is not a screen - my mind is thinking some type of projection. And no wires.

I would like to see more top range products. Real B&O products that look, feel and sound good 🙂. Maybe they can work together with a high-end brand, that will be really great.

more reaching for the stars danish genius like in their 70's heyday ( flappo drunken rant over )

 B&O should concentrate on audio and overall sound reproduction, what they do best. I love the B&O sound and would love to see them get more recognition from audiophiles. Pure price / performance ratio could be better, and this is the kicker. The high prices are fine, but it would be nice to squeeze a little more performance per dollar out of future products.

 Also, small speakers can be nice in certain applications. But dont sacrifice sound for size, because bigger speakers can still look great. 

1. exotic materials

2. bullet proof reliability and construction

3. glistens like jewellery

4. you want to touch it for no reason at all

5. leaves a smile on your face and a warm glow inside when you use it years later

6. makes functionality of well-established products by other manufacturers look cumbersome

7. draws little children and women from across the room with curiosity and inqusitive smiles

8. holographic TV

9. finger-print proof touch-screen

10. voice-activated functionality if need be - see star trek TNG "computer, mozart's requiem. computer download/rip following album off net. computer record topgear from sky tomorrow etc..."

11. more touch sensitive aluminium

12. concentration of making virtual music and videos from net a physical experience - dragging music and film covers from the net into your beosound hard-drive using our finger tips rather than resorting to a computer...

13. plasma speaker technology

that's enough for now...

I would love if they updated Masterlink. I think it's a very old technology with to many wires. I don't own any newer equipment, so I can't say if some things have gotten better the last 5 years, but I haver never understood why my parents BL3500's can't show the RDS info from their BS3200.

I would like it if they came up with a solution where audio AND video is run in the same cable, and makes it able to do more. I know they've made the BeoWireless, but as I understand it can only transfer audio, and it is very expensive.

I would also like the possibility to listen to one source in the kitchen and another in the bathroom for example, the BS3200 can't do that either.
