Hello from Berlin,
I would like to briefly introduce myself, as I am new to the forum.
I am 61 years old and have been interested in hi-fi my whole life.
I only discovered Bang & Olufsen three years ago, when I started volunteering at the Braun and Design Museum Collection Ettel in Berlin. The owner, Werner Ettel, only collects Braun devices, but he also has a passionate interest in Bang & Olufsen design, which is how he got me interested in B&O.
I have now collected quite a few Bang & Olufsen items and am fascinated by the technology and design.
The collection grows a little every month, which gives me a lot of pleasure.
Best regards,
Michael

Welcome to Beoworld Michael!

A warm welcome to you Michael !
Great you got the virus too. And by the way, your story brings back to me the 'triangle of top designers'.
- Braun design s became famous because of (the great) Dieter Rams.
- Apple's top designer Jonathan Ivy was inspired by the designs of Dieter Rams. There's a famous list of Apple products derived from Dieter Rams' / Braun designs: https://sl1nk.com/fVgIa
- Jonathan Ivy also was inspired by the B&O designs, especially with aluminum, which is obviously recognisable in most Apple products.
