[gene]

German luxury AV brand Loewe has officially landed in the U.S., bringing its ultra-premium OLED TVs—and bold design philosophy—with it. From concrete-backed displays to meticulously hand-crafted panels, Loewe is targeting high-end enthusiasts looking for something beyond the usual LG and Samsung offerings. The company is also expanding into personal audio, signaling a broader push into luxury home entertainment ecosystems. Will American buyers embrace this distinctly European take on high-performance AV—or is the price of entry simply too steep?

Looks like a scam of the first magnitude to me.

Complete with very nasty up firing Atmos speakers.

If that lot is not junk of the first order, I will be shocked.

 

[lovinthehd]

Meh, nothing exciting there except the price.

 

[Eppie]

From an aesthetics standpoint those speakers are about as benign as you're going to get so the interior designers will be happy. Built-in sound bars should sound better than anything LG or Samsung is putting inside those skinny TV cabinets. I would predict marginal appeal for the NA market though.

I set up an LG sound bar with sub a few months ago and it was better than I had expected. Still not great, but for someone who wanted to keep the TV/Audio simple, it was decent. The speakers & sub are amplified and connect via BT, which worked the second time- the sub wouldn't connect at all, so they replaced it.

For these prices, I would create a separate room for a stand-alone system that doesn't receive ANY input from an interior detonator, regardless of how good they tell people they are.

Actually, in the days before high definition TV, when Philips made a widescreen CRT television (for viewing DVD's),Loewe did make a brief attempt to enter the U.S.A. market with a similar product (sold through expensive "Salon" hifi dealers), but they soon gave up. At the time,they told people in the U.S.A. to pronounce their name "Loovah"

Yes, those products are just what would make and interior detonator salivate.

So, the beer would have been pronounced 'Loovenbrau'?

Maybe in the US but not in Germany...and I am not a German.

Löwenbräu (pronounced [ˈløːvn̩bʁɔʏ]; German for 'Lion's Brew') : the 2 dots on the 'o' and 'a' have a purpose.

I know- that brand was owned by Miller Brewing, which was originally based in Milwaukee and that's the area where I live. Milwaukee is also home to decendants of a lot of German immigrants.

I remember when I was much younger that there was a difference between Lowenbrau brewed in Germany vs that brewed under license here (had a liquor store that carried both). Seems Miller had a license to brew it in US (Labatt in Canada) but didn't adhere to the original Reinheitsgebot requirements nor recipe. The original is still brewed in Munich, owned now by AB InBev....

I haven't seen Lowenbrau in a long time, although I don't drink and haven't paid much attention to brands, aside from a local that's owned by someone I had worked with. I had heard there was a difference in the formulation and it may be due to the US not having the same strict requirements for the recipes but I'm sure they changed it because it cost too much to do it right.

MIller has been known as 'The most chemically brewed beer in America'. I could never drink Miller Lite- I would have a headache before half of a bottle or glass. Hated the taste, too.
