I totally agree, design and lifestyle and a high grade of use of materials but imho the inner is just a piece of crap!

Hmm i had a BC9000 from 1988 sold it 3 years ago to a friend and it still work every day playing CDs and have newer been repaired. People keep the B&O equipment so eventually you will see repair needs. Most other stuff is replaced after few years before eg. capacitor wear out

In 1998 I gave my 5 years old CD player from Sony to my sister. It works fine until today.

 

 

My wife has a cheap CD player from JVC in her kitchen for more than 10 years without any problems.

I think the repairs are meant to generate some revenue for B&O. 

Strange way of thinking. It's quite the opposite...

I think nowdays people are not very keen to make repairs, so rather it generates bad reputation.

Absolutely. When you offer a 3 year warranty on electronics, you are banking on your product being good enough to never need repair.

Most people lose their warranties? At least I did and so...

Either that or the R&D team is not up to par. 

Come on people when you pay 3000 euros for a b&o system it should never need any kind of repair.

My Beosound 8 had three repairs. 

Anyway now that there really isn't a need for docking or moving mechanisms of any kind for future products, I think the QC problem pretty much resolved itself.
