Why do you choose B&O?

Design,at first place(but only David Lewis design,to my taste).And integrity, audio/video at second place.You have much better,and cheaper audio/video componets on the market,but B&O design and integrity is unbeatable!

It's interesting that you're being questioned as to why you think they're not doing well when the topic, including their earnings, stock price issues, selling off profitable divisions, and sales issues, in other words they aren't doing well, have been discussed here in great depthAs for why I'd argue they're not doing as well as they could, take a look at these:
I became a fan of B & O products 5 years ago.
i have ...8 of them
And..i know the units from inside and outside.
I must say that in recent years are not at the peak of his creativity.
Design of David has been top of line!
B & O is simply its eternal philosophy and design.
1. design
2. quality
3. eternity products
4. The sound and picture
5. The owner of the B & O are as owners of Saab vehicles. (In the majority of doctors, lawyers, intellectuals, .....)
New items only few who can afford, a used unit's buy intuziast and has a number of years.
You never have only one B & O product. Always want more and more...!
I must say that I personally like very much that B&O is not like other commercial brands. In every home :)..!!
You just have to be B & O person.

To the original post........
You need to recognise that the majority of B&O owners probably never visit Beoworld. Here you will find that we are a disfunctional lot.
Members with an interest in keeping old equipment going, members only interested in the very latest models, members who endlessly criticise because they had a bad experience 20 years ago, members who have come here as a last resort because their dealer isn't as knowledgeable as he should be.
You really need to search the threads (and the archive, top right tab) to get a feel for what owners really think about B&O. You will also see trends and cycles, like 'Buy....Praise.....Condemn....... Buy again.....' Also look at what members have posted about in the past, whether the member is still here on the forum or whether the postings died off because of a problem solved/ not solved.
Do your research with a thorough investigation of what is already here as well as asking members for their thoughts.

Agree with vikinger.
It will be a tough job due to the complexity of the B&O products (old and new) and due to the complexity of how the users use their B&O gear.
Good luck to you, ThjisSchippers, with your Master.

I chose Bang & Olufsen for their good design without compromising on sound quality.
Love my BL5s because they doesn't look like "regular" speaker. (Wooden boxes).
Love that when buying Beo that the technology is so far ahead. So you can have a speaker that is at least in 20 years without either design or sound quality goes out of style.
For a life less ordinary.For a smille each time I press "cd" or "tv" or "light" on the remote.For the pleasure just to look at my equipment years after years.For the magic words or features : electronic curtain, motorised stand, anti reflective screen, Jensen, Lewis, pencils, aluminium...

OK, that makes sense, but B&Os troubles have been pretty widely covered in various news articles related to business.
