Hi all,
Isn't this video recorded in the cube?

I could not recognize the 'cube' at B&O in Struer in that clip - if that is what you mean.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
in this video can you see the "real" cube with stairs

The cube in Struer is much smaller than this, i would say no more than 40 feet along any length. One of the only useful things left in Struer!

There was never any 'production/manufactoring' in the Cube in Struer - so why shouldn't that have stayed, where it is.
Only the assembly of 'the products made in Struer' has been moved to the Czech Rep (and China).
There is a lot going on in Struer - and the aluminium processing/production is also still there.
I should have said its a shame they are moving things away. Struer is the spiritual home of B&O and every product should have that feeling.
I'm aware of the magic that still happens at the farm, lets hope it stays there for a few more years to come!
That's not an anechoic chamber, it's a large warehouse with some cladding on the walls. Big enough that you can run an impulse response test on it with a long time delay before you get any reflections, but take a look at pictures of The Cube and you'll see the walls are much different in the kind of acoustic tiles used.
And, an awful lot of video hoopla for a speaker design that was first used back in the 50's.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus.

One example of what is going on in Struer could be this:

Much more interesting than, 'where is this or that product finally assembled'.
