B&O's stuff looks beautiful but sounds like garbage. Unlike Bose, which looks like garbage and also sounds like garbage. You can get much better sounding equipment at a fraction of a price if you shop smart and spend some time doing comparative listening. Read a few magazines and go to audio stores. Stay away from the large chain stores (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc...) where the salespeople only recommend products that carry a huge mark-up (like Monster Cable and... Bose!).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LordJohnWhorfin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 14th 2007 6:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on P.Guerra's FLeX 4.2 HTPC packs B&amp;O and Core 2 Duo]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/p-guerras-flex-4-2-htpc-packs-bando-and-core-2-duo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/p-guerras-flex-4-2-htpc-packs-bando-and-core-2-duo/</guid><description><![CDATA[Polk Audio all the way...as for the HTPC, I've seen better for cheaper...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 14th 2007 2:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on P.Guerra's FLeX 4.2 HTPC packs B&amp;O and Core 2 Duo]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/p-guerras-flex-4-2-htpc-packs-bando-and-core-2-duo/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/p-guerras-flex-4-2-htpc-packs-bando-and-core-2-duo/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would never dream of making comments without actually listening but I can't help thinking that Audi (with the A8 and forthcoming R8), Bower & Wilkins and Rotel wouldn't be using Bang & Olufsen ICEpower amps if they were just about style and sounded "like garbage".

Two little speakers with discreet mounting fill up my living room with distortion-less sound, lots of highs, and with another unit, lots of lows.<br><br>I feel that B&O gets a bad rap because their units are high priced without (to some) that much of a noticeable sound difference.

Right now I run Infinity speakers off a Pioneer Elite receiver. I am not a crazy audiophile, but I am pickier than most people. I have to say B&O makes some great-sounding gear. People who say otherwise are either just dismissing it out of had because they can't afford it, or are disenchanted because their equipment tends to be short on features for the price. Yeah, their stuff is expensive and largely priced based on styling, but poor sound quality isn't a failing of theirs. In fact, I would say they make some of the fullest-sounding speakers out there. If I had the money, I would trade my Infinities for B&O speakers in a heartbeat.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[L. M.
