Wow. Interesting when you compare this story to the recent one between B&O and Sparkle Roll from China.

Considering the software background of some of the folk involved, it could be very exciting for them. A competitor maybe!

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.

I'm intrigued where they will take B&W ..... this could be exciting

we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
