I hate my Beo 5!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2009 04:27i think the BEO4 is too "old" for the present time. yes it is a tried and tested product, but surely B&O could have at the very least done a "Logitech" and simply update the housing with some minor tweaks and left it as …
BeoSound 5 Bang&Olufsen's big mistake?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 21, 2009 08:34[quote user="9 LEE"] If they didn't have the software to do it properly, they should have hastily ditched the developers and made it a glorified BeoSound 3200 / BeoSound4 hybrid just to get it on the market (it was in de…
B&O bounsing back?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 20, 2009 06:51the 8-40 is one good looking TV and the HD screen with 100Hz is certainly a good spec to get more ppl back into the brand. i've seen it being used on a few window displays and it's an added way to attract attention....if…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 7, 2009 07:04i recall reading at the beocollectors site that it was going to discontinue and beophile was going to be run from 1 July. i gather the beocollectors site had some affiliation to the beophile and a "handover"
Beocom 5 a preview

How hard is Bang & Olufsen hit ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 24, 2009 21:07i do not believe that B&O should start selling their products in non-B&O stores. this will definitely dilute the image of a premium product range. having said that, there is a "compromise" for wider audience by having a …
How hard is Bang & Olufsen hit ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 23, 2009 11:02as a newbie, i feel that B&O can quickly recommand some spike in sales by doing simple updates to the strong and popular range at present. the speakers are pretty good at the moment, so i'd say the range could be left al…

RUMOUR - Beosound 9000 is to be discontinued
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 19, 2009 03:11when i quized my local B&O store a few weeks ago, he said they weren't expecting any new "audio" products in 2009, but that's not to say nothing for 2010. i think at a minimum Beosound 4 should incl a hard drive like Beo…
Idealab staff cut 50% from Business.dk "Google translation"
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 4, 2009 06:55where B&O has been sourcing components from other manufacturers, i think it has been disappointing that the recent products have been less obsolete proof than their products used to be. in one of the other postings, some…

Discount negotiation on new B&O equipment in Australia
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 2, 2009 19:28DJs is refurbishing the whole of level 2 and the mezanine floor. As a result, B&O have a disappointingly small corner on Level 3 (turn left as you get out of the elevator). I asked the Cllins St store lady how the DJs ar…
Discount negotiation on new B&O equipment in Australia
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 2, 2009 08:13as i understand it, the B&O stores in Australia are owned by B&O since a few yrs ago. so the margin is what B&O Retail Pty Ltd want to make within their targets. i asked my local dealer and he said he can ask (i presume …
BV7-40 Mark IV ... second thoughts / what is the "problem"
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 2, 2009 04:38i've not tested the Loewe - but from what the article describes - B&O should have released something like this for it to be in front of the market, esp in the premium segment. http://www.smarthouse.com.au/TVs_And_Large_D…
Another aussie!
in LifeStyle Discussion · Jun 2, 2009 04:24i was shown a BV7-40 with built in blu ray - i presume it was a mkIV as i didn't know that a mkIII came with this option? i must add though Friday was their last day of renovations and things were getting shuffled, so it…
Another aussie!
in LifeStyle Discussion · Jun 2, 2009 00:39Collins St. I must add, I did not view SD content on it. only Blu ray and HD. it had the 7-4 speaker on it. Think they had a bond movie playing. PS: There's a Visa Platinum demo night on 11 june - I emailed them but have…
Logitech Harmony 1100
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 2, 2009 00:35ditto - i have one but it operates non B&O stuff (more like i don't have any B&O stuff to operate!). if only B&O made one like the Beo 4 that is a true universal remote! paid AUD195 for it brand new from www.csw.com.au .…
