The CEO is out – thoughts on future product direction

[NQVHNWI]

Yes….it competes with other Brands. It does not get laughed out of the park in the price point it is in.

The Beolab 8 I think competes with integrated speakers at that price point.

1. Good clean-looking speakers, no gimmicks
2. Integrated All-Digital Amp (no need for Amp or cable matching)
3. Integrated DSP Unit (no need for Dirac box)
4. Integrated Streamer (no need for Wiim or Eversolo or Bluenote box)
5. Integrated Pre-Amp (The Speaker switches between source and controls volume well albeit not as well as the Big Beolabs)
6. An App that (now) works.

So the product sans gimmicks is a good one. With the bass driver, the BL28 would make a compelling case at its price point (less a few grand) without the gimmick. Marketed well to those who would be embarrassed to own B&O and you create a sale outlet you have not had for a long time. It is reasonably WAF acceptable made of clean-looking non-bulky design……on and on and on.

I think many Beofans have to understand times are always changing and fancy mechanisms add a lot of visial, a lot of price and in many ways, take away some credibility of the product AT THE PRICE POINT IT IS AT
