The Avant will cost around 9.000 € with the obligatory stand. That's really no bargain, nowadays this is very expensive.

If you take in to account B&O were trying to shift a BV7-55 at over £15K a couple of years ago, twice the price of this new 55" Avant, then managed to bring out two subsequent 55" TVs at a much cheaper price (for B&O), this is the right way forward.

We complained for years that B&O TVs were on a constant upward price projection, they then start bringing the prices down and people are still moaning. I can't believe "bargain" (or lack of) is being used to describe a B&O TV. £7200 for a 55" B&O TV with remote and stand is a relatively competitive price for a B&O TV, for me. It's 25-30% less than the original RRP of the BV7-55.

@Wonder - The Beolab 20 will be sporting a lens if that's what you're wondering.

@Raeuber - But remember when FULL HD displays first arrived. The prices were also sky-high. My dealer always gives me a 15-20 % discount without me even asking for it. I was dreading an even higher price-tag, so to me 7.000 euros doesn't seem so bad.

I think we should applaud B&O for finally being faster to deliver a product using some of the newest technology. 

@Moxxey  +1 I agree 100%.

Yes, but for B&O they stay high as they do not introduce need models every year and take that opportunity to drop the prices (I know, there scale prevents them from doing this)

You are a lucky man, I hope you buy the dealer a crate of whiskey for Christmas

I agree with you

Not sure anyone should agree with Moxxey (joke)

Little off topoc, but the v1-32 has also disappeared of the list.

Hehe Beoherning removed the updated price list. 😁

Now we are back in March month.

@ Elephant - thought I spotted a lens on the silhouette 😕

Yes I will definitely come baring gifts this year if i buy the Avant and/or the BL 20 and he gives me the usual discount. 🤒

Yes I se your point regarding prices. But if I have to buy a 4k 55" top model from Samsung it's about 4000 euros right now. Then another 1000 euros for a decent sound bar. 

So right now B&Os price tag is not that bad. But yes, when that Samsung is 2000 euros next year - B&O should look at the price tag, maybe a new trade in discount.

Too late - I/we already have downloaded my/our copy/copies 🙂/😁

@FIX ... well the V1 is getting "old", it was released ±2 years ago !

@JanB .... the lens on the BV9 in the catalogue/price list is more obvious

Thats because Hannspree who make the V1's panels don't make them anymore.

The irony is that compared to the brown V1 on the trolley, i look at these monstrosities and think..yyeeeaahhh nice

@Elephant - Hehe it's always good to copy, just ask the chinese 😁

@Raeuber - Yes, it does look like a rocket. Rockets > Penguins. For some reason the BL20 makes me think of this - watch at 0.50 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnTHypbLlkE 😐
