i'm allowed to dream, aren't i?
Okay, so those of you who either know me well or work with me will know my slightly on the wrong side of normal obsession with Bang & Olufsen... It's a hard to explain thing. I don't claim to be an audiophile, so I can't really make any qualified comments on how they sound (other than fricken amazing) but I do feel remotely qualified to say that their design work is outstanding.
It's a constant source of inspiration, from the quality of the finish to the sheer simplicity that drives their interfaces. I'm amazed at how the design can both complement and challenge the engineering required to produce the sound, which is after all the purpose of the product. One day hopefully I'll make a pilgrimage to 'The Farm' in Denmark and meet some of the team.
In the meantime, I've got my little dream system, which is way over the top, but hey, I don't care. And while I'm saving, I've got my little taste of B&O (thanks to everyone at work:)
