Yeah, but you still watched it all?I watched Taylor Swift's Eras video (don't judge me - 3 and half hours of TS is karma enough)...
Yes. There was a group of us, and we started to flag around the 3 hour mark (and that was with a couple of intermissions) but we stayed the course in the end. Musically not my cup of tea, but as theatre and a live music performance it is astonishing. Taylor Swift impresses as a writer, performer, for the sheer artistic ambition and the personal determination needed to make something like this not only happen, but succeed. Musically the songs mostly sounded too similar to stand out.Yeah, but you still watched it all?
Only need to sell three to make money.That price is lunacy.
Limited edition of 200 worldwide. I imagine they'll be gone before this thread staggers to a halt.Only need to sell three to make money.
Historically I understand there's not nearly as chunky a margin on B&O (for retailers) as one might think. Bit like Sony Centres, which people assumed were a license to print money, but actually Sony's dealer margins were generally pretty crap compared to most of the other Japanese brands.I can imagine the meeting where they discussed price "£20'000?, well, if someone will pay £20k they'll pay 25k, lets call it £25'000"
But if they'll pay £25k, they'll pay £30k" then after a few more rounds, they decided that £50k would be an utter piss take, so settled for £45k.
I wonder how cheap the "selected retailers" buy them for... I be there will be a large mark up. That's why I like the idea of Jay's Audio and ANK kits.... I feel its the best way to get maximum bang for my bucks.

Holding up Jay's and ANK as paradigms of modesty, though? Try their prices out on the man in the street. I don't recall PQ being shy when it comes to updating the AN UK price list either.
Yeah, they’ve done nothing decent since 1977 have they?B&O lost the thread 45 years ago.
Their stuff was good (and reasonably priced) about 1977.
