rantan Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 A restructuring expert is another name for a bean counter who wants to dumb down product offerings and research. I sincerely hope that I am wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted February 25, 2020 Administrator Share Posted February 25, 2020 Heard whispers of this yesterday, and worse, but it's mostly speculation so have left it alone. Let's not jump to conclusions at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Gale Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I see one of their products required an annual subscription to the Roon rip off . Any wonder that product didn't sell. Nothing like having to pay $200 year or more to stream your own music and what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Genesis56 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 It's not looking good for Bowers and Wilkins. I did question the design of the new 800 series - I thought it was too polarising. Plus the over reliance on Chinese based manufacturing for the cheaper lines (not the 800 series) hasn't helped them long term. B&W will probably end up being absorbed into the bottomless pit which has swallowed countless British brands never to be seen again - RIP: Rogers, Wharfedale, Quad etc. Some British HiFi brands have survived by not over-reaching and keeping their manufacturing base in the UK.

5L15 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) When you see QC issues in the 800 series surfacing, this does little with confidence with the brand. “Removed ad as I was not attacking the business trying to sell the item” Edited March 8, 2020 by 5L15 Ad removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness one needs to see in person or at least a picture of this manufacturer blemish, otherwise it’s unfair generalization which is not reflective of anything. PS the advertisement is currently active and you doing a great disservice by using it as an negative example I will have a look for myself tomorrow and perhaps get some pictures so people are more informed and the thread stays on topic.
