Thanks for all the advice. I’ll definitely pass on the Avant. With the new Theatre, which I took a look at in Berlin on Friday, it makes no sense anyway.

Definitely the right direction for B&O.

This is an old topic, but maybe some people will be researching info about a used Avant.

I paid over 2ok GBP for my 85 inch tv. When functioning it was amazing. But it needed various video boards (thousands spent again) , the drop down speaker mechanism broke, and the final nail in the coffin, the screen failed and cannot be repaired. As I travel a lot, the actual hours of use on the screen were minimal compared to daily use. B and O did offer a discount on a new system, but the desire to spend again thousands on such unreliable products is zero. I have spent , I guess 70k plus on B and O equipment, the style worked for my house, sound good enough, etc. But I would never do it again. Unreliable product, and the manufacturer did not support a clealry defective product. I have many other screens, older than the Avant, all work perfectly, zero defects, have never needed any repairs or spend.  But I will end up having to get the sound bar so I can use my other speakers, but it will be through gritted teeth.

I will deliver this monster pile of junk to B and O head office though. Just so they understand what it is like.
