Move from Germany to Canada
in North America · Feb 1, 2008 15:35gsmith: I find the philosophy of B&O not to have at least a "flexible" power supply that would cover N. America and Europe very disappointing! I thought that more and more of their products were being made dual-voltage n…
ceramic remote
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 18, 2007 20:14beoperson: I think it looks fresh and unusual. However I see major flaw in this particular design. Problem is with the shape - it may feel good in your hand but round bottom will make impossible to use remote while layin…
Cocktails tonight
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 18, 2007 17:02Mmmmmm, cocktails.............
ceramic remote
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 18, 2007 16:52Design-wise, I like it a lot. It's refreshing in many ways: shape, color, ergonomics, texture. In fact like a lot of the things on his website. Functionality-wise... who knows? What is it designed to control? What protoc…
Mr and Mrs Puncher.
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 16, 2007 18:13Congratulations, indeed! How about some advice for people like myself who are still in the single digits of married life?
Louis Vuitton Serene case
in North America · Oct 16, 2007 13:02Last I heard, about $800 from the store in New York on One East St. This was several months ago though, and at the time they said they had very few in stock. Might be worth giving them a call to check their availability.…
Quality Chocolate making at B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 12, 2007 12:20I don't quite get it. Why is a B&O store having a chocolate-making event? It sounds fun and all, but what does that have to do with AV equipment, and how will it help them boost their sales?? Nonetheless, it looks delici…
Just ordered: BV 7 et al
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 11, 2007 20:46Congratulations Dario! A system worth envying! Take pictures! You're right, there's NOTHING to watch on TV. I don't have one at home either. Just enjoy your carefully-selected movies and your high-quality music; you'll b…
Where are we from?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 11, 2007 20:05Wow, what an amazing spread of people, indeed! Wish more would post, especially from the more "exotic" countries. (I'd never even heard of Tuvalu before!) As my avatar says, I'm from the USA.
Bang & Olufsen wins trade mark case in EU court
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 10, 2007 19:259 LEE: Forgive me for being cynical - but hasn't that landmark judgement come a whole thirteen years after they were launched? If anyone was going to make a direct copy, they would have done it years ago surely? I'm miss…
Temptation
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 9, 2007 13:12What an awesome prize set! You never know when being smart will come in handy. I've always wondered how those game shows can afford such posh prizes. I'd also be curious to see how much winners have to pay in TAXES on th…
BANG & OLUFSEN magazine coming soon!
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 9, 2007 12:48A14BEO: The painted Lab 5's are HORRENDOUS!!!! Agree. Just because they are "Artists" doesn't mean they have taste. I've met plenty of artists who don't. (not that I'm opinionated or anything!)
Win a Beosound-6
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 9, 2007 11:47That was an easy question.
BANG & OLUFSEN magazine coming soon!
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2007 18:59jandyt: So does this look like the end of the road for our much collected catalogues, usually available in hardback form too?🙁 Andy T. Lack of hardback availability would be a pity, though the new magazine (magalog!) lo…
Finally - Entry Level TV coming to US BV 8 32" around 4000$ 1st quarter 2008
in North America · Oct 4, 2007 18:25linder: BV 8 32" is not exactly the smaller TV that I had hoped B&O would bring to North America. I was hoping for the Beocenter 6 26" which I think is a much better design. A Beovision 7 32" would be even better but I a…
Well done to Everybody!
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2007 17:57Great job! I enjoyed reading both the review of the Serenata (have to say I started feeling Jealous that we won't see it in the USA) and the interview with Herr Sorensen. Glad you enjoyed your trip; sounds fantastic. Kee…
Steffen Schmelling in B&O design...
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2007 18:13jandyt: I think we should wait til we see, hear and feel the device before we pass judgement. Gosh, it doesn't seem promising but I don't think we should have Mr Schmelling hung, drawn a quartered just yet. Just my opini…
Quiz - please enter!!
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2007 17:57I'll send in my measly attempts at answers soon.
Steffen Schmelling in B&O design...
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2007 13:57Agree. Some things are nice. I wouldn't go as far as to say "inspired" about any of the products, except maybe the bookshelves on the exhibition page. But I wasn't sure what in that picture was his and what wasn't. I als…
Ikea or B&O?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 17, 2007 18:19If you like simple furniture, there's only *so* simple you can go before everything looks similar. A table, e.g., at its most basic is a plank with legs... Leaning bookshelves have been around for a long time, and this i…
