@BeoGreg - Considering it's now a 55" screen compared to the BV11 46" plus the fact that the Avant has a 4K display compared to the BV11 Full HD display I think B&O is pushing the price in the right direction.

But would be nice to see an updated BV11 with 4K soon, and still with the "tv trade-in campaign" discount.

Updated price list for Bang & Olufsen as of May 1st 2014.

Both the new Beovision Avant 55" (with BeoRemote One) and the new Beolab 20 speaker is in there.

 

I found the BL 20 ... bottom of page 3

I was confused (not speaking/reading DK) to understand the differences between how the three BV11 Mark IVs were listed

See page 4

The new remote is buried in the details of two or three of those Mk IVs:

1. 1710 Beo4
2. 1710 Beo4 fjernbetjening

But has the same part number and price as under the BV10

I am an idiot

New advent is at the bottom of page 4

The new remote is 10% more than Beo4 , is it different or just more dedicated to the TV like the beocentre a while back?

So Avant is not 7.000 € but 9.000 € and that is still a lot of money for a tv 4k or not.

Where's the promised bargain ?

No-one said it was a 'bargain' (another exaggeration, somewhat like the other guy saying the sound was "bad"), but that EUR 9000 includes the remote and the floor stand. The basic price is EUR 7000, but clearly you need a remote and stand (hence the EUR 9000).

The BV11-55 is more than EUR 9000 with a remote and floor stand though? It's £10,000 here.

I was told today that the Avant 55" will be £7000 in the UK including floor stand and the new remote - that's still about £3000 less than the BV11-55's RRP. You can't really compare it against the BV11-55 with TV trade-in as that's a fairly recent offer. The new Avant will have a trade-in offer in a year, no doubt.

Personally, as a BV11-46 owner (which was £7000), I'd be happy with a new B&O 4K 55" TV with floor stand and a brand new remote, for the same price.

NO ,look at list prices, I think the cost is avant 65990 ddl plus beosystem 4 27995 ddk plus :(

I do not agree. I think they would have included the Beosystem 4 in the accessories below the Avant, like in previous price lists when the BV12 was listed (like this one, page 5: http://www.fux-ag.ch/images/Pdf/preisliste.pdf).

I had specifically asked my dealer if the new TV required an external box/tuner and he said no, everything would be included.

@Chris - If that's the case, then I'm afraid the Avant won't sell very well. 

However I've not read anything to suggest that. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

@Marcello - I think you are right. If the BS4 was needed for the Avant, then the BS4 would be listed under the Avant in the updated price list.

So excited about the 3 new products! Hope it's not going to be another lens disaster/bonanza. 

Received 3 invites/reminders actually but too bad I am not in NYC at the moment.

BV11-55 is around 9.000 € with the actual offer that goes from december 2013 to 31st july 2014 which means it´s permanent.

Don't say I exaggerate when I say that some of us where waiting for a bargain, you see exactly what I mean !

Nonsense to say that Avant price is 7.000 € without remote and stand, it won't work like that.

Stand is much more expensive than BV11 by the way (11.000 dkk / 6.000 dkk).
