B&O pricing policy
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2012 23:26[quote user="MartinW"]I'm amazed you have had no price increase since 2010 - currency fluctuations have hammered UK pricing over the past couple of years. Each dealer is free to set their own pricing, it's not a B&O poli…
The Audiophile & B&O
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 23, 2012 19:52[quote user="Jeff"] I guess I am, or used, to be what might be considered an "audiophile" but not an audiophool. One of the things that I find enjoyable about B&O is it basically freed me of the obsessive need to worry a…

BEOLAB 5 IS A BARGAIN !
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 17, 2011 22:20[quote user="Peter "] I think there is room for both - the Linn fanatic will be unimpressed with the B&O system sound and the B&O fanatic will despise the compromises to life necessitated by the Linn system. Both will be…
