That quote was as perfect for B & O in the late '70's as it might be now. I was dazzled by the 'look' visiting a the house of a girlfriend.

Once I had the means to purchase for myself, audiophonic considerations kicked in and I have never been tempted since.

If they did not mention ICE than they missed arguably the whole story. It has caused a bit of a revolution in the high end biz on the amp side.
