Bang & Olufsen ...? Good deal??

IMHO B&O do suffer from an audiophile image problem. Because they have put a particular emphasis on design, not all of which is to certain peoples taste and because they have not gone down the separates route, they are often not seen as hifi. The perception is design over sound. But my experience of various Beosystems and Beosound, is that they sound brilliant. I have not heard another high end setup that sounds as good.
