The [original] Bethesda store did move to Wilson Lane several years ago.  The Wilson Lane store closed maybe a year ago or longer.  The manager of that store went to the DC store until that closed a short time later.

There have been multiple comments in other threads from US members about the lack of B&O stores, and their dwindling numbers. Stores even in large bustling major metro areas are closing.

What are your thoughts about the future B&O in the US? Is the US even a major player for the brand? 

What can B&O do to improve their standing in the US? 

Any other thoughts?

I'm not a shopper in stores for the most part unless I know exactly what I want.  I expect many other people in the US are similar.

I think getting B & O products in audio/video magazines is a good start.  I only knew of B & O due to a review of the BL 5 in Sound & Vision (formerly Stereo Review).  It was many years since then that I've seen them there again.  First, it was their new headphones.  Recently, there was a BIG review of a new TV and speakers in an home theater setup.  Just recently, there was a very nice interview with Geoff Martin.

Though I have not seen any B & O advertising in Sound & Vision magazine, getting products to knowledgeable reviewers seems like a good way to let the potential consumers know of B & O and what they have to offer.

Now the Tysons (northern virginia DC area) store is closing too. So the closest to the DC area is Philly or New York! Not being in major markets like DC and Denver tells me they have lost critical mass and may no longer be able to stay in the US market. Sad.
