World's recession and B&O

I think the recession has already hit B&O pretty hard. And will continue to do so.
But it's the same is with all things expensive.
The Beo store I use, is always empty... Well at least when I visit....😳
Bang is busy putting its resources to good use. It will deliver some clever products very soon, ones that have been in the pipeline before Kalle took the helm. Kalle will also ensure new products will be technically superior in the future, Bang learnt here.
The company is becoming more lean and focused, I think thats all you can do in these times.
Clever... Such as the 100" monster plasma. Must have done a lot of market research. 😁
We should offer this TV to the thread about leaving it in standby or shutting it off completely! The Panasonic version (Beo's is probably also Panasonic screen) draws but 1,5KW. 🙂

I strongly hope that they ensure their products become superior in terms of quality, too!
"Made in China" on the B&O products make the customers run away ;-)

Yeah, a Half finished beosound 5!!
That 's not the way to go.
It was only "half finished" for the showrooms to demonstrate as considerable interest within the UK and Europe meant that showrooms were under pressure to show the product.
Of course, it has been designed as an upgradeable software product, so when it will be "finished" depends when technology is to the point that there are no more upgradeable requirements.
That message is heard loud and clear.
Better to wait and release something that is working than send it out, to meet customer demand, when it is not ready!
Some 20 years ago when talking with my local ealer he rued the day that there were no longer entry level systems. He discoverd that 10-20% of people would come back and upgrade - a useful source of potential customers. Now with some TVs costing £000s where are the entry level customers?

The software that is now on machine that are sold to the public is stable but lack features that are normally part of all B&O products, like being able to be used from link rooms.
