Hi all,

Just noticed a price increase on the BL50’s, now €35000. In March they were increased from €30000 to €31500. Almost 10% in 6 months…

I love the brand but this is outrageous! Don’t give me the aluminium pricing bs…there is enough premium in the price to absorb this kind if material price influence.

Just my Sunday morning thoughts..

BV Harmony 65 / Eclipse 55 / BL 50 / 19 / 18 / BS 2 all brass

BV Horizon 48 / V1 40 / BL 17 / Beoplay S3 all black

V1 / BL 3 / BS Essence MKII / Beoplay A3 all white

BS Moment / BS 3000 / BS 3200 / BL 400 all silver

Headphones / bluetooth speakers / BLC NL-ML / BLGateway

I know…B&O virus has grown on me !

I haven’t heard about this. If confirmed, I assume it is due to the chip shortage that is hitting many industries all over the world. Less chips, more complicated logistics leading to higher costs… I had to wait 4 months for my BL50s earlier this year because of this. Bloody Covid-19!

The dealer out here was saying the same thing. The prices are also pegged at euro prices. This place is VAT free so where’s that money going?

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