I dunno, I've heard B&O's from the 70s that sound amazing 30 years on, really
nice clear full definition of sound lows mids & highs(thru B&W speakers),
certainly they probably tack on a few grand for the audiophile n design
wankery, but i think they sound pretty decent. Also for design trickery they
did have preset FM radio channels on their receiver/amps in the early 60s. Also
their record players play 16 & 78...
But yeah, some people in the US think Ikea is the greatest thing since sliced
bread so go figure, it just seems like regular furniture to me
