Which honestly speaks to an alarmingly broad lack of knowledge. Even a cursory look at the history of design–that is, component engineering AND “how it looks” or more simply form and function–should indicate that there are deep, rich histories that so-called “audiophiles” simply ignore. Whether it’s radio, television, or audio devices, museums around the world highlight industrial design histories.
B&O has been a leader in this space for decades, and I wish more of the community would actually recognize these histories, regardless of whether they personally find the B&O sound or design language appealing.
