It looks as thiough the plug has been pulled on Australian outlets .seems they will be under new management if and when they reopen. I guess B&O staff are out of jobs. Not a good look for the brand. Does anyone what is going on?

What has happened to Australian showrooms
6 replies
Gday. There’s a new Australian distributor coming on board. There is likely to be a showroom opening in Melbourne in the very near future. In the meantime if you’re in Melbourne there is a showroom from Premium Sound in St KILDA which is setup very nicely. They have other brands but their focus is B&O as soon as you open the front door. There is an existing thread as well on this. I can’t answer for Sydney but Brissy and Adelaide are shut now. And there is the concession in DJs.
Ah 2042 so then I’m guessing Sydney. King Street is open but only for a few days more I think.
I guess what worries me the most is sacked staff. There were several very knowledgeable people working in B&O and I am guessing their expertise is not valued by the company and they will have to get other jobs. This is normally the behaviour of these companies. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
Exactly. I am in the same boat, worried about the staff.
I Believe there are a few interested parties looking at getting stores up and running in cities where existing stores were. Keep an eye out over the next 2-6 months.
Surely some staff will re appear, they are valuable people! Without them there is no point having a store
Premium Sound in Melbourne are a great destination with the complete range(minus 90's)
