Does anyone fancy paying nearly £6K for a soundbar?

Be cheaper to hire an orchestra.

Cheaper than a Gucci belt.

Good watch on what else it can do etc. Especially fact you can utilise like 20 years old speakers and it will do room correction for them etc.

No I can get decent proper multi channel surround system for that.

£1000 for a avr
£5000 for speakers and couple of subs

Utterly demolish that soundbar

Whilst I agree, it does rather miss the point.

This isn't for people looking for the best performance that £6K can buy. This is a product aimed at the monied sector. It's for people who buy a Range Rover HSE or Vogue for the missus to drop the kids off at school. They have the designer kitchen with acres of space and all the mod cons but all they eat comes out of packets from Waitrose, Selfridges or Fortnum's. It's pose value.

If there was a sound bar at £10K it would sell so long as it is advertised in the right places. It just needs the right endorsements and credentials.

I guess they'd reply with something like "We're smart enough to earn all this money, and six grand is chump-change, so are we really that foolish?"

B&O have always been well overpriced for the sound quality.
