Why do people who claim to have no interest in B and O, continue to post on a B and O site? It would never occur to me to go to a forum on something I had no interest in, and post that I have no interest in the topic. LOL

 

This is the best comment I have seen in a long time.  You are absolutely correct.  It makes no sense for someone with no interest in B&O to post in this forum.

Well, it probably does serve some purpose - but not an overly positive one beyond letting people vent their spleen; any newbie coming to do some research on B&O and reading the large amount of complaining here about the brand, and it's seeming imminent demise, is likely to be very put off actually buying any B&O or BeoPlay products.

But then, maybe that's the intent of some very disaffected and disgruntled owners or ex-owner perhaps.

Be careful for what you wish for, for if you wish B&O to fail, and you bag them constantly in public, it's hardly helping the company IMHO.

Just my 2c worth

John... 😐

Thumbs up for that comment - my 2 cents too!

Would be nice if this forum could concentrate on the more positive things about B&O - there really are lots of them!

Discussing how to tweek your system, helping new (unexpirenced) user to how they get most of their system, showcasing how you use your own system, how to combine new and old products in the best ways, how to integrate 3d-party product in a cleaver way and alike should be the core purpose of the forum.

All 'haters'/disappointed 'former B&O lovers' please go cry somewhere else

All those who 'know all things better' - please go tell it somewhere else

Grrr! Millemissen

N.B. the 'verified answer' from Flappo is no answer to the initial question of this thread!

agree completely

I disagree complitely. I havent saw any haters or flamers here, just open minded bno lovers that say what they feel. This is not church to follow beard guy whatever he say. Freedom of speach is must for every comunity or this place gonna have same future as bno. Me myself I got alredy two beoplay products and i'm planing the third this month. Still, I think they are better then anything else on a market but far away from B&O. I will never change them for anything else but we gotta be honest about how present situation hurts. Then maybe even they will hear us. 

Also it aint gonna help new guys if we are straight forward. Lets help em and give em right to choose wheter they will stay with us. Otherwise they wont bye it.

imho

Damn straight! If we like the brand we should not relentlessly slag it. There's a place for dissent and comment about their approach, but I will also guarantee you that about no one here has the level of detailed marketing info they have in making these plans. Doesn't mean their approach will ultimately work, but jeez, the comments from the peanut gallery are over the top. And complaining that Tue seemed pompous and arrogant? Hello! Ever meet most senior executives? It's almost a prerequisite for the position (cough cough...Steve Jobs..cough...). Too many people are over the top against B&O for reasons that reflect less on them than the modern market they operate on. So there are no longer any big Beosystems, seen anything from any maker like them today? That market is dying. 

As for discontinuing the BL 6000/8000, maybe that'll happen, but why, really? Both are design icons, improve performance, yes, style is about perfect. It's like how many times have true classics been dropped?how many premium products don't change, I'm sitting here at a 1956 vintage Saarinrn table and chairs, for example. Notice that, almost 50 years later a Ford Mustang or Porsche 911 are still recognizable as one?

I think we can discuss faults in implementation and such without so much vehement negativity, and would be more helpful for newbies in helping with restoration, setup, etc. as I've seen here for quite a while.

My dealer said 600/60022 were discontinued recently?

I've lost interest in BnO as well.

I appreciate that a lot of people admire the JJ or DL stuff but I prefer the newer stuff. We are all different.

Hmm... You say you've lost interest in BnO - but you're not that much into the older stuff...🤔
You prefer the newer stuff -which you have lost interest in. 😂
But when you (once) were interested in BnO it must have been in what is considered the 'older stuf'f'' today..? 👍
