I couldn't but help laugh out loud when Trump called Kim a 'Rocketman'. This thought mingled with my loev for B&O and I wondered what we would all do if somehow Kim missed Guam and hit Struer instead...There's nothing quite like our B&O despite all the recent frustrations aired.
What would you reach out for?
Is there another brand that would come a close second?
What have you heard and seen that you'd buy if B&O was no more - brings tears to my eyes ?

This has to be up there as the oddest question ever. It's up there.
If B&O was nuked, I wouldn't be sitting on my sofa thinking "darn! my favourite TV brand is gone....what can I now watch Eastenders on instead?" when an all-out nuclear war is going on around my ears :)
Amazingly, I think I could live without B&O in that scenario.
The problem is that I have invested heavily in B&O. I fell in love with the design qualities in the 70s and know all about the progression of the brand. I also love the Danes - a pleasanter nationality is impossible to imagine. Every Dane I have met has seemed genuinely pleased to meet me and invariably speaks English practically perfectly.
I am not enamoured with the present line though and am not a great lover of televisions. The only thing that interests me with the present set up is Geoff Martin who is a fascinating chap - practically a polymath.
Therefore replacing B&O is not a question of choosing a new brand, but changing my entire way of thinking, which I am not about to do. I will however be remaining with my present equipment and keeping the faith!
If pressed, 70s Quad is my other secret passion!

This of course makes me feel like the British ambassador to the UN, who, when asked by a local radio station what he would really like for Christmas, replied that a nice box of his favourite chocolates and a new pair of slippers would be rather pleasant. He was mortified to later hear on the radio that the US ambassador had wished for world peace, the French for an end to violence in the Middle East and the German for a happy united continent of Europe, but that the British wanted chocolates and a pair of slippers.
Having said that, he was probably the only one granted his wish.
Of more import and likelihood, what happens to the Eclipse when Little Kim decides to tear Seoul a new backside? How many LG panels do you think will get shipped during Korean War Part Deux?
But the question is part and parcel of why B&O's situation is so upsetting to me, not only their business prospects but the declining quality of their designs and such, there really is no other company that is as design oriented, I might even say not even B&O anymore.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.
Supreme leader Kim is really embracing this Rocket man thing...
