6.      Cancel Edge, BS1, BS2. Cancel A1, Beolit20, Explore.

7.      Make Balance successor to BS1, BS2 and also make it Beolab loudspeaker compatible (NL/PL/WISA 5.1) or

9.     Cancel Shape

Why cancel the Beosoynd 2? Purely based on making the Balance its successor? I have got two Balances but I still want a Beosound 2 for its sound. Why couldn’t the two still coexist? The BS1 I think will be cancelled though.

Also, why cancel the Shape? It is a unique offering in the current portfolio.

As indicated, it is my "fantasy" business plan for B&O in 2022.

I firmly believe they need to hunker down and weather what I think will be a nasty financial storm in 2022. Too many products, too few sales - particularly of some of the "older" lines. 

I have no animosity to B&Os product line-up except the play on colours for products and too many similar products. I would prefer the classic home HiFi/TV setup....but it is clear this does not generate sufficient revenues for B&o

I think the key thing in my fantasy plan would be to stop making overly expensive integrated TVs and make a Sound Processor/Controller again than makes use of Beolabs.

Additionally, the Balance is a wasted opportunity as a single unit Beosound. I suppose/guess that with little modification, those units could adequately serve as a great Beolab3/17 front/side/rear loudspeaker system at an reasonable price.

Is there is financial storm coming generally, or for B&O specifically?

Be interested as to your reasoning, however brief.
