It has been said before, but here is more evidence that it is the whole industry that is struggling and not just B&O.
Loewe shares nosedive

I honestly forgot Loewe even existed.
Now all Loewe have to do is buy back a bunch of shares and plant another Apple buyout rumor on the internet. Oh wait, they have no money.
According to Loewe german consumers are the "Guilty" , but Loewe 's product range is incredible boring ,except the new Reference TV.
If all Loewe does is still just televisions they're screwed. NO ONE makes money in the TV business anymore because everything is "good" and after Pioneer exited the market no one else was viewed as a competitor to the last Kuro. The advantage B&O has now that I understand their TV business better is that they can INTEGRATE all of their audio and multi-system expertise as a whole into your entire living room including a very nice quality TV. In other words, the B&O TVs, while they may be very good, don't have to compete on picture alone, they compete on bringing the entire package to the living room and offering integration possibilities the consumer would NEVER have with just a plain jane TV alone. All of this still being the traditional art piece B&o is known for.
Would I still buy a B&o TV? Probably not, I pour my effort into audio. But at least B&O has way more to justify their existence than Loewe. The last Loewe model I even remember is the Aconda and I don't even remember how long ago that was.
