Change in almost every case is inevitable, this comes with risk.

Leaders can navigate risk, and are built to withstand the rollercoaster ride; the true color of the weak are the ones that look in the mirror and blame others then jump off the ride they started.

I've really missed talking with everyone on this forum, but with a new role that I took with the company in 2017, time just hasn't been there for quality conversations with everyone. Hope you are all doing well!

Cheers,

Patrick

Really hope B&W continues to do great things ... even though I don't own their speakers now other than headphones ... I started my high end journey a long time ago with a pair of 801 Matrix series 2 which I enjoyed for a long time and still think their product is great!

Really enjoy my B&W speakers and if I were to upgrade they’d be at the top of my list. I wish them the best during this transition.

Press releases during these situations intrigue me. They always seem to leave out two words: “for now”. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.

Cheers,

Scott

It is very concerning for a blue chip hifi company to be in such hot water. It really makes one wonder whether B&W is not selling well or if other hifi companies are likewise at risk.

It's a failure of executive leadership. The late great W. Edwards Deming used to teach that when companies fail, it is always the result of a failure of leadership by the executive management.
