in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 20, 2009 09:03My new dealer has just informed me that any new products I order will take 4 - 6 weeks instead of the usual 7 - 10 day's. A pain for me but a real worry to the dealer. Does anyone know if this is across all the UK and if…

B&O UK closed?

Have B&O gone mad with their prices?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 28, 2008 09:27Beobird's last paragraph say's it all. Yet B&O wont alter their view or product range, not for any reason other than they are too used to making a vast amount of profit on under spec'd over priced jewellery ! It's back f…

Bang & Olufsen sees FY loss on weak pre-Xmas sales
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 23, 2008 12:53Affineur said... I agree with your analysis as far as why "average" consumers do not buy B&O, but this is actually the point. B&O are not marketing to "average" consumers, they are marketing primarily to design-centric a…

in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 20, 2008 09:55Hi, any truth in the rumour that B&O are to pull out of Scotland? I've heard from a good source that two of the 5 outlets are to close on xmas eve. If so what does this mean for the UK?

in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 14, 2008 16:07We didn't reinvent the wheel, we just didn't sell a wheel by itself and say it was a car. Ohhh dear...!

B&O in Comet...
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 11, 2008 09:01On the whole Loewe thing... I reckon B&O might want to keep an eye on them. Some really nice stuff and very switched on staff. I checked out my local dealer (now in the site of my old B&O dealer) and they seem to be doin…
