Entering a B&O shop it's like entering an Audi showroom don't you think ?
Avant, A8, S8, A2, S3, A6...
I have to agree with you on that one... When I saw the "A6 has landed" title, I thought Paul W bought himself an Audi A6 with a B&O sound system. Real names are easier to link with the actual product. Pena, Redline, Avant, Cona, etc. instead of " I like the beolab 18, or was it 19? Or to stay in car terms, the names of the different Land Rover models vs. Audi is a good example.

I guess that is a pretty individual matter - I do remember the numbers better.
With the Bang & Olufsen products they usually relate to the age of the products - BL9 came before the BL20.
With the B&O Play products they relate to 'how expensive' they are - remember the A3, small and rather inexpesive, the A9 big and expensive.
No rule without exceptions, however.

I used to use Audi showrooms before the products became vulgar.
the use of the A prefix does not appear to have a reason. When does the tougher Range of Q products arrive ?
the A8 was headphones , then it was a docking device.Strange
Beo Century ,Beoplay V1, Beocenter 6, Ex-Beolit 12, Beotime , A8. Beolit 15 , Form 2i , Beolab 2000, Beoplay A3.Beosound 1
Haha yes I've got an A3 with the B&O speaker system. I chose it on its low emissions and cyclinder on demand engine. Its elegant but I think the jeeps Q are vulgar definitely. They had a bad reputation many years ago when I lived in Liverpool - it was the new Burberry :)
Yes I like a name on a product better, it's got more humanity about it I guess with the exception of the RENAULT 5 which was totally adored by many :)
I really couldn't see me driving an Audi A6 those are HUGE - I am the worst driver :) More of a biker :)
Hi yes, the naming is rather similar
I remember when Volvo introduced the S40 they wanted to call it the S4, the V40 the V4 and so on, but Audi kicked up a fuss - and this was when those were just coming in to existence - so someone, somewhere, thinks this naming structure is great.
To me - it says nothing about the product and explaining it to others, goes like this "so is that the 6, no that's the 8. Oh " lol
I don't mind it either way because i know what each product is, but others might find it confusing :-)
I am not sure about BeoMaster, but I like BeoSound, but that is sometimes incongruent with me because I don't really like the "Beo" prefix in most of the product line, but I accept it and have embraced it :-)
So, I wonder if:
BeoGreg:Beolit is nice (one of the reason I bought it is the name, I wanted a Beolit !), Avant also. Loved Ouverture. The best ? Beomaster of course (even if it´s the name of the range and not a product. We need a 2016 Beomaster.
BeoNut since '75

elephant:As names the try to distill the product to name Essence and Moment are not bad marketing messages ... BeoNut since '75
BeoGreg:Your right, forgot about Moment, I like that one. Different for Essence because it also means "petrol" in french. When I ask my wife if she put petrol in her car I ask : "as-tu mis l'essence dans ta voiture ?".
we tend to forget there is more to design than designing.
