Neither, way over priced for the sound quality. The B&O's base response is just so and so. This is what you want;
Audyssey Air
It put's your choices to shame, I know because I own the B&O, well my husband does, he's a B&O nut and we bought my daughter a Audyssey for her birthday and although the B&O looks a little nicer, man oh man the Audyssey will blow you away. It sounds like a speaker 10 times it's size and it's half the price.

Appreciate the reply, but I don't want the Audyssey. It's the ugliest thing I've ever seen and I just couldn't put it near my house. Besides, I'm leaning towards the Loewe additionally for practical reasons. I love the way it's low down and has the same precise depth as an iPad, so I can put my pad on it in the kitchen on the counter top by the wall and it will fit in well from that stand point. I don't mind paying extra for a device that will suit my needs and tastes, I plan on having it round for years and will get lots of use from it. Besides, I've read all the reviews of the Audyssey, it seems it doesn't sound as good as you're making out. It's likely that you are thinking it's a great speaker because you're hearing its thumping base and jumping to conclusions.

WhatHiFi sums it up like this:
Well good luck then, the bass on the Audyssey is strong but the high's and mid'd are really great as well. We got it because it constantly got great reviews.

It's also false.
Indeed.
Anybody?

Cheers for your thoughts, though.
