In connection with the efforts to optimise distribution, during the year, Bang & olufsen has worked on upgrading the existing store concept to make the future interior design reflect the focus on integrated audio-video solutions and the increased focus on acoustics. Work is continuously being undertaken to increase the number of B1 stores in developing markets and reducing the number of B1 stores in mature markets.
During the first half of the financial year, the company implemented a number of adjustments to create a more trimmed and agile organisation. In addition, the sales and marketing department has moved from Struer to lyngby in Copenhagen, which contributes to ensuring a global outlook and proximity to its customers.
B&o plaY has concluded a number of distribution agreements. the new retail outlets include John lewis, a British chain of exclusive department stores, and excelsior, one of Italy’s leading design concept stores. In addition, distribution agreements have been concluded with around 100 independent premium stores dedicated to apple’s product universe.

"With the recent resurgence in analog music reproduction, plans are underway to begin reintroducing high end LP and audio cassette playback systems under the new BEOCLASSICS line. The first two products to be reintroduced will be the Beogram 4000 record deck and the Beocord 8004 cassette deck."

If only..
They could resurrect at least half of the stuff from the 70's and it would still look futuristic today !
To be honest, I look at items on ebay and I have absolutely no idea how old they are, I then look up the details and am frequently shocked at their age, looks great today that's for sure
